It is comforting to know that the "so called" President has chosen someone with such wonderful qualifications to spearhead this iraq initiative and my understanding is to be in charge of "mid east" peace initiatives.  Let me see ...what were his qualifications again...oh yes, he is the son in law of the "so called" President.  What a coincidence that amongst the 360 odd million people in the USA, many with decades of experience in middle east affairs, one of the MOST complicated regions on the planet, it turns out the "so called" President's son in law fit the job description better than anyone amongst those 360 odd million persons.   Between his daughter and son in law, it is really a coincidence that they are the best qualified people in the USA to be his advisors.
