	t r u t h o u t - ISSUES - Zalmay Khalilzad and the Bush Agenda
		Khalilzad, a U.S. citizen born in Afghanistan with extensive knowledge of the region and experience, appears to be the right person for the job.
		Khalilzad's presence, however, is the fruit of an older agenda, one that reaches back at least to the Reagan era, and Khalilzad has more connections to that agenda than meets the eye.
		Zalmay Khalilzad was born about 50 years ago in the northern Afghan city of Mazar-i-Sharif, 70 miles south of the Soviet border.

		KHALILZAD: Our goals for Iraq, the ultimate goals that we have for Iraq have not changed, as I said, a goal of a multi-ethnic, multi-sectarian democratic Iraq that will be unique in this part of the world, where traditionally the dominant ethnic or sectarian group has sought to suppress others.
		KHALILZAD: Well, I disagreed with the premise of the question, that it was a mistake to have gotten rid of Saddam Hussein, and that things were better then, compared to now.
		KHALILZAD: With regard to your question on Muqtada al-Sadr, I am relying on the prime minister for what I said, which is that he has agreed to getting rid of the militias; that those who are unauthorized to carry weapons need to be dealt with; that he supports the government and the political process.

	Zalmay Khalilzad: Empire Builder Moves to Iraq - rwor.org
		Khalilzad's story—from aide to Paul Wolfowitz in the 1980s, to neocon theorist in the 1990s, to top official under George W. Bush—is the story of the rise of a group of imperialist strategists with a sordid history drenched in blood, determined to solidify, deepen and extend U.S. global dominance by any means necessary.
		Khalilzad's nomination (he must now be confirmed by the Senate) highlights both the centrality of Iraq to that agenda and the U.S. imperialists' determination to press forward with their global plans, despite enormous difficulties in Iraq and the potential for even greater upheaval in the future.
		Dispatching Khalilzad to Baghdad—here what is planned to be the largest U.S. embassy in the world is being built—underscores the continuing centrality of the conquest of Iraq for U.S. global plans.

		Zalmay Khalilzad broke with the Bush administration's generally upbeat orthodoxy to present a stark profile of a volatile situation in danger of sliding into chaos.
		Mr Khalilzad told the Los Angeles Times Iraq had been pulled back from the brink of civil war after the February 22 bombing of a Shia shrine in Samarra.
		Mr Khalilzad suggested the situation was so dangerous that without a substantial US presence, a civil war could suck in other Arab countries on the side of the Sunnis and Iran on the side of the Shias, creating conditions for a regional conflict and disrupting global oil supplies.

		Khalilzad is accredited to the new Iraqi government, but, with the backing of a hundred and sixty thousand U.S. troops, he often seems to be the one holding the government together.
		Khalilzad has a reputation both as a strategic thinker and as an operator, a man with extraordinary political instincts, and the attention given to the raid on the prison did not seem to be accidental.
		Khalilzad, who is proud of his role, has a nuanced and somewhat problematic view of the U.S.’s responsibility for the implosion, one that suggests that the fault lies not with the policy he advocated but with those who questioned it.

		So Khalilzad has been at the very center of the efforts to dominate and control the future of the Afghani and the Iraqi people, as well as this broader global agenda that these actions were part of.
