MY SAY: ON GEORGE SHULTZ
To understand his decency, his wisdom and his legacy, here is a list of the mediocre secretaries of state who followed him until the advent of the equally admirable Michael Pompeo:
James Addison Baker (1989-1992)-Nasty obsessively anti- Israel ,
Lawrence Sidney Eagleburger (1992-1993) Very brief tenure….no lasting impact.
Warren Minor Christopher (1993-1997)-Very Minor well named.
Madeleine Korbel Albright (1997-2001) Better named Halfbright. Discovered her Judaism in her 50s (??)
Colin Luther Powell (2001-2005) No lasting legacy.
Condoleezza Rice (2005-2009) Nothing to remember her by except for disastrous North Korea policy.
Hillary Rodham Clinton (2009-2013) Deleter of the free world.
John Kerry (2013-2017) Quit possibly the worst ever!
Rex Wayne Tillerson (2017-2018) A parenthesis at best and worst.
Michael R. Pompeo (2018-2021)-His legacy is a new Middle East, and recognition of America’s enemies like George Shultz (RIP)
