Paul said he has looked at the Secretary of State position as probably one of the most important picks that will come up and hoped Trump would choose somebody who understands that the Iraq War was a mistake.

As one of tenRepublicans on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Pauls vote could be decisive, should all nineDemocrats on the committee stand together against Trumps nominee.

Regime change hasnt made us safer, that in order to build here at home, to rebuild it, we cant build and spend billions of dollars overseas building other peoples infrastructure, Paul contended. Some of the people hes appointed, I think, have understood this. General Flynn has said that the historical lesson of the Iraq War was that it was a strategic failure, so I think Flynn gets it, and Im hoping hell give him that advice as his national security adviser.

Im really hopeful that theyll end up picking a secretary of state who really understands the Iraq War was a mistake, a strategic failure, and it actually made Iran stronger. The crazy thing about the neocons up here people like Bolton and Giuliani is they never got the message, or the understanding of the Iraq War, he said, referring to former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, two potential secretary of state candidates.

They think, Oh, Iran is a real problem, but they dont realize that the Iraq War made Iran more of a problem. Until they understand that, I think we should try to keep the neocons out of our government, Paul declared.
