Trump has the greatest foriegn policy in decades. Example = New task force on Iran

No Bush like invasions. No Obama like funding for the largest state sponsor of terrorism.

SOS Pompeo was a great pick too !!! Pompeo explains "in solidarity with the Iranian people."

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced Thursday that the Trump administration is establishing an interagency task force aimed at cracking down on Iran.

Do you know how many "task forces" have gotten established in Washington over the decades? And how many of them have turned out to be utterly useless?

To paraphrase Yoda, "Task forces not make one great."

The topic is this task force : New task force on Iran !!! What do you know about it. Anything ?

People on the left love to talk out both sides of their mouth :
We need to promote western values, American values, for the people values, human rights around the world, but its all talk and no action. We had the chance to put some iron in the words when a Dem was President but he didn't do it. He was weak and sympathetic to Iran's leaders and wanted a different legacy that would eventually allow them to get the bomb and likely use it.

Iran isn't the problem in the ME. Saudi Arabia and Israel are.

Nice deflection.

Breaking news: Creating some committee to sit down and discuss a bunch of options to deal with some particular problem is not an indication of greatness, because every single president since George Washington has done exactly that many many times, from the worst presidents to the greatest presidents. You're ascribing greatness to Trump's foreign policy just because he created some committee to sit down and yack away about some topic. If that's what construes greatness, then me writing this post must surely be an act of greatness, because what I'm writing here is a lot more substantive than probably 50% of the committees created by presidents over the decades.

Obama's foreign policy was crap. Trump's foreign policy is more crap. At least Obama didn't act like a boorish fool when traveling around the world with his crappy policies.

I'm you didn't get the job of SOS with so much going for you. Opinion wise.

What's the idea ?
Lots of leaders do it and its a good idea or lots of leaders do it and from now on it shouldn't be done b/c it doesn't work.
Maybe my party isn't in power so I don't want peace b/c it keeps my party out of power.
