#1 Khalilzad is beating on the Iraqis just as he beat on the Afghans. I think this guy is wasted in the diplomatic service. He ought to run for office. He's certainly shown formidable executive skills, keeping Afghanistan on an even keel. Just look at how much difficulty the Soviets had, administering that territory.

#2 Khalilzad is also a lightening rod for the Mike Moore conspiracy nuts because he was on the team that did an analysis for a pipeline thru that region (during the Clinton administration).

Of course the sponsors of the pipeline (mainly Unocol) had withdrawn all their proposals by early 2001. This didn't stop Mike Moore from implying in his anti Bush film that the Afghan operation was to help the companies.
