Former Marine Gen. Anthony Zinni was first proposed to be Obama’s ambassador to Iraq, but then had the rug pulled out from under him in favor of Chris Hill, and didn’t find out about it from retired Marine Gen. buddy James Jones, the national security advisor, until shortly before it hit the media.
Zinni was obviously steamed.
But, doesn’t appointing the guy who was executive VP of Dyncorp, with all of its Iraq-based defense contract money, until the end of last year violate at least the spirit of Obama’s no-lobbying pledge?
Answer, yes.
Zinni has much less reason to be steamed at the Obama Administration than do We The People.
