Christopher Hill: Deep Kimchee for Iraq
2009-04-18

Long piece on the unsuitability of Chris Hill to be the next ambassador to Iraq.

#2  I skimmed over a lot to get to this -

To listen to Hill’s appearance before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee is to realize that members of both parties know almost nothing about Hill, his record, or his background. I don’t know when I’ve ever seen ignorance clothed so pretentiously. The degree to which the “august” senators on the Committee have paid no attention to the conduct of policies they are charged with overseeing is depressing and stupefying, and yet it all somehow still makes for dreadfully dull viewing. So naturally, I’ll link to the entire two-hour hearing. I will confess that I did not listen to the entire thing, but I’d like to think that by now, some recently rendered Algerian jihadist in an underground cell in Albania is, and he’s about to break.

But now, I've given up.

#1  Hill is only the latest American diplomat to believe he could disarm Kim Jong Il, but Hill believed it in the way that John Hinckley believed he could win Jodie FosterÂ’s love.

But, other than that ...
