I know that K0DQ is an awesome contester, but haven't figured out the
relevance of his message to this reflector.
This should have been posted to Bush-Cheney '04 or released to Fox News for
publication. I'll go elsewhere for my geopolitical observation and commentary.

Life moves on. Tomorrow I will turn over duties as Deputy Administrator and
Chief Operating Officer (COO) of the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) to
a great friend and colleague, Lt. Gen. Jeff Oster, USMC (ret.). I am
returning to Washington to assume duties as Executive Director of the
Presidential
Commission on Intelligence Capabilities relating to Weapons of Mass
Destruction
in early May.
I leave Baghdad with mixed emotions. While the press of daily challenges is
strong and persistent, I believe that the strategic course we are pursuing is
right and enduring. The history of this region will be positively affected
by what we are doing. It has been a high privilege to serve with a superb
group of people in a significant and noble undertaking. Teddy Roosevelt is
reported to have said, "Far and away the best prize that life offers is the
chance
to work hard at work worth doing." By that measure, we have been greatly
blessed.
This account will be good through approximately 15 May. My long term,
personal e-mail is redd@analog.org and I hope to remain in contact with you.
Blessings from Baghdad
