I Don't Want To Screw Up Says Obama's Iraq Envoy
« on: March 25, 2009, 04:58:11 PM »


Seasoned U.S. diplomat Chris Hill showed some jitters on Wednesday over being nominated as next U.S. ambassador to Iraq.

“I just don’t want to screw it up,” said Hill, in fairly undiplomatic language at a confirmation hearing in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

As new U.S. ambassador, Hill would oversee the drawdown of U.S. troops.

Hill has faced some opposition as next U.S. ambassador to Iraq but he had a fairly smooth hearing on Wednesday.

Critics Arizona Sen. John McCain and Kansas Sen. Sam Brownback, who have questioned Hill’s lack of Middle East experience and whether he was tough enough in talks with North Korea, were not on the panel.

I'm brimming over with confidence.  Next thing, the President will be telling us this horrible economy may never recover.

Too late.  You've already jumped into bed with Obama when you accepted the nomination.

That Sir, was a screw up.
