Pompeo Can’t Afford His Own Version of the Iraq War

May 22, 2018 By Richard C. Young

Writing at The National Interest, Curt Mills hints that because of his future plans for higher office, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is driven to make a good showing of his time at Foggy Bottom. Mills writes:

The scuttled Trump administration ambassador to South Korea, Victor Cha, told a small crowd in Washington earlier this year that Pompeo had been given the North Korea “portfolio,” while new National Security Advisor John Bolton has been given the same for the Middle East and Russia.

Compared to Bolton, Pompeo has been perceived to be a relative restrainer. Pompeo is a likely future candidate. And as Thomas Wright put it in a piece in Politico earlier this month:

Pompeo has a longer time horizon than Bolton. He needs his term as secretary of state to be a success and recognized as such. He can’t afford his own version of the Iraq war, whether it is against Iran or North Korea.

Yesterday, Pompeo explained the administration’s strategy on Iran to a conference at the Heritage Foundation.
