Senate confirms Crocker as US envoy to Iraq
The US Senate on Tuesday confirmed Ryan Crocker, US ambassador to Pakistan, as the new US ambassador to Iraq. President George W Bush nominated Crocker to succeed the current ambassador in Iraq, Zalmay Khalilzad, in a shuffle of advisers announced in January ahead of his latest Iraq strategy. Crocker, a career diplomat, has been Washingtons ambassador to Pakistan since November 2004. Previously, he served as the first director of governance for the Coalition Provisional Authority in Baghdad from May to August 2003. Posted by: Fred 2007-03-08 |
