But making him ambassador to Iraq, a job the administration suppossedly thinks is important? Does he speak arabic? No. Does he have any background at all in the Middle East? No. Has he ever served in the middle east before? No. His resume does show however, that if a president wants him to do something the US congress has speciffically forbidden, he's up for it. THAT's his major qualification.

I am amazed they haven't found a job for Oliver North yet.
I guess all the Nixon era guys are either too old or dead.
