#1 Well, as a former NATO commander, he prolly has experience is dealing with countries who have their head up there ass, so he would be well suited for this.

#3 Hmmmm...let's see, the congresscritters made sure that tactical intelligence would remain and be an independent function of DoD vice CIA. Now, we'll have a retired MC general being appointed a special envoy. Do I detect functional shifts in the bureaucracy based upon competency that doesn't fit the standard organizational wire diagram? Just a data point [not enough to declare ~~Global~~ bureaucratic warming], but interesting to bear close attention.
