Obama Cans Another Nominee

This time, President Obama has asked retired Marine Gen. Anthony Zinni to withdraw his name from consideration to be U.S. ambassador to Iraq. No reason was given at present.

Obama's nominations have hit a brick wall in the last few days over tax troubles. I have no idea why Obama would can Zinni's nomination, but it can't be good.

HT: Sister Toldjah, who notes that Obama's transition has gone off the rails given that they have repeatedly green lighted tax cheats and those with ethics problems for high ranking posts in the Administration.

UPDATE:
Let's also not forget that Obama's nominee for the number two slot at Housing and Urban Development has an ethics flap of his own.

UPDATE:
Via the Washington Times article, they note that Christopher Hill, the outgoing assistant secretary of State for East Asia, was getting the job.
