I don't really mind Tillerson. He seems capable so far.
I wouldn't really doubt that - but I also understood some of the reasoning I heard about not making it a top priority. We all wanted to see OBL brought to justice, but 9/11 was really his opus, and he was basically a symbolic leader after that. I sort of get committing resources more to areas that were focused on security & not necessarily our sense of justice, especially early on when there was a lot of uncertainty.
That said, I was happy when we got him.

I hear Putin and Trump did the sword dance over FaceTime on election night celebrating their victory over Hillary
Love Tillerson's remark..."This isn't my first sword dance."LOL
This has been a remarkable visit. I watched the entire presentation today, listening to King Salman and POTUS and those leaders who followed. I feel like the elephant has been removed from the room and global leaders (at least these) are finally speaking out loud and in unity regarding the terrorist situation without being bound by political PC. That center the Saudis built there is quite impressive in scope and capabilities.
If only our own country could unite around this horrific threat and focus on behaving like adults as well. Instead, over the past few years we've been reduced to catering to very shallow priorities and distracted by ice cream scoops, naughty words, clueless protesters, obsessing over an election loss and "Where's my food stamps?!"...or free this and free that. Depressing.
Those elected to enforce laws are hell-bent on disobeying them. Even the simplest requirement in keeping our borders secure by any means is common sense which escapes the mental faculties of many. The next hit we take on our country is on them.
On to Jerusalem
Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
pain in abortion.
Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

bush talked big but he really didn't give a shit, and admitted it.
"Who knows if he’s hiding in some cave or not. We haven’t heard from him in a long time. The idea of focusing on one person really indicates to me people don’t understand the scope of the mission. Terror is bigger than one person. He’s just a person who’s been marginalized. … I don’t know where he is. I really just don’t spend that much time on him, to be honest with you."

Let me refresh your memory about bush.

Funny we are supposed to forget about the half negro yet lefties can't stop talking about Bush
I need to find out out more about that Center for Counter-terrorism ( whatever it's called) in SA.
I also want to see if their relatively new program of "de-radicalizaton" prisons are paying off.
You got to hand to to Salman -that and his reforms are making SA take the bull by the horns
