I have seen State's dysfunction up close — Rubio's reshuffle is just what it needs

Secretary of State Marco Rubio recently announced a major restructuring of the U.S. State Department. Although the media quickly lamented the downsizing efforts and focused disproportionately on the purging of liberal influence, the overwhelming bulk of Rubio’s statements have been focused on the need to align the department with national interests and consolidate manpower in regional offices and at embassy and consulate posts around the world.

Rubio has emphasized that this is not a cost-cutting exercise.
