Let's get this out of the way...
We're into the second quarter of the year and I don't think I've complimented our Dear Leader President Bush yet, shame on me. Ten thousand lashes with a wet noodle.
That said, it appears that either Bush, or Bush's advisors have actually picked someone with a functioning brain and who knows the Middle East to be an Ambassador to Iraq. True, Zalmay Khalilzad is an Afghani (the country he's currently serving as Ambassador to) and not an American, but he does seem well regarded in the area. On the flipside, we've just vacated a post critical to helping keep Afghanistan stable. Good luck to Zal in his new position. Of course not everyone likes the man but that's to be expected.
