THE STRANGE CASE OF THE MISSING AMBASSADOR


Where is Dr. Zalmay M. Khalilzad our US ambassador to Iraq? He is now strangely quiet, allthough he was in the news as an outspoken critic on Maliki and the situation in Iraq a month ago. There was a lot going on at that time, as General Casey, in concert with Zalmay, went into Sadr city without consulting prime minister Milaki. There were three separate press conferences about the events at this time. One by George W Bush, one by General Casey & ambassador Zalmay in concert, and one by prime minister Malaki.

Zalmay M. Khalilzad is a member of the PNAC "Project for the New American Century". Most of the key people in the current Bush administration were appointed to office, and came from the PNAC.

An exerpt from the letter about Iraq from the pNAC to Bill Clinton.
Zalmay's name is on this famous document.

January 26, 1998

We urge you to act decisively. If you act now to end the threat of weapons of mass destruction against the U.S. or its allies, you will be acting in the most fundamental national security interests of the country. If we accept a course of weakness and drift, we put our interests and our future at risk.

Sincerely,

Elliott Abrams
