#1 Our ambassador there is a great public servant, a great linguist and capable expert of the sort that most think/wish/forlornly hope would be the norm at State. Though in my view the underlying strategy always lacked the muscle and "incentives" for Sunnis that it needed, while top political officer in Baghdad he helped make the most of Sunni engagement. The entirely under-appreciated (I see Austin Bay did some appreciating today somewhere) accomplishment of democratic elections and a sovereign multi-faction government in arguably the most ravaged political landscape in the region will some day burnish the legacy of Robert Ford and others.

#2 "great public servant, a great linguist and capable expert" -- must have been teleported here from our galactic allies. We seem to lack sufficient local resources to produce enough people like this.
