Oh, great...! PNAC signatory nominated as U.S. Ambassador to the U.N...

i know that folks like steve clemons think khalilzad is a good choice...

The White House will nominate the current Ambassador to Iraq to replace John R. Bolton, the controversial critic of the United Nations who failed to win the Senate's confirmation during the 109th Congress, various news services are reporting this afternoon.

Zalmay Khalilzad has served as President George W. Bush's ambassador to both Iraq and Afghanistan. He is leaving Baghdad, where he has served as America's top diplomat since June 2005, under the cloud of the controversial execution of Iraq's ex-dictator Saddam Hussein and escalating violence in the country.

i happen to think that anyone who put his or her name to the pnac statement of principles shouldn't be allowed within one hundred miles of a post at any level of government...

so, just to keep things in the clear, let's take a look at those signatories again - all of 'em...

Elliott Abrams Gary Bauer William J. Bennett Jeb Bush

Dick Cheney Eliot A. Cohen Midge Decter Paula Dobriansky Steve Forbes

Aaron Friedberg Francis Fukuyama Frank Gaffney Fred C. Ikle

Donald Kagan Zalmay Khalilzad I. Lewis Libby Norman Podhoretz

Dan Quayle Peter W. Rodman Stephen P. Rosen Henry S. Rowen

Donald Rumsfeld Vin Weber George Weigel Paul Wolfowitz

these folks ought to be made to walk the plank right along with george when we finally summon enough national will to make it happen...
