Why in god's name is Clemons recommending Khalizad?

(note: i meant to post on this yesterday but it slipped through the cracks...)

i've stated repeatedly that i have a lot of respect for steve clemons, but i have to wonder sometimes just where his head is at... first he recommends paula dobriansky as bolton's replacement as u.s. ambassador to the u.n., and now he's recommending zalmay khalizad to replace robert zoellick... and what do these two folks have in common...? why, they're both among the original signatories on the project for the new american century's 1997 manifesto...

Who will get former Deputy Secretary of State Robert Zoellick's job?

The real answer to this question is that R. Nicholas Burns should be. If not Burns, then the person Condi should nominate is US Ambassador to Iraq Zalmay Khalilzad.

sorry, anybody who signed up with that outfit shares responsibility for the goddam mess we're in now, and, as far as i'm concerned, they're war criminals, and don't deserve any position of public service in this country, their credentials be damned... who's he going to recommend next, bill kristol (also a signatory)...?
