SECRETARY OF STATE MIKE POMPEO: “the age of self-inflicted American shame is over.”

Pompeo said that “it was here, in this city, another American stood before you” and “told you that radical Islamist terrorism does not stem from ideology.”

“He told you that 9/11 led my country to abandon its ideals, particularly in the Middle East,” he said at the American University in Cairo. “He told you that the United States and the Muslim world needed ‘a new beginning.’ The results of these misjudgments have been dire.”

Read it all through the final quote: “Let me be clear: America will not retreat until the terror fight is over.”
