Hill Confirmed For Iraq Post Over Opposition

By CONGRESSDAILY STAFF

The Senate voted 73-23 Tuesday to confirm Christopher Hill as U.S. ambassador to Iraq.

Hill, assistant secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific affairs since 2005, had a bumpy ride to the post, with Republican senators criticizing his past role as a negotiator on North Korea's nuclear program and his lack of experience in the Middle East. Hill was previously a U.S. ambassador to Korea, Poland and Macedonia.

All the votes against Hill came from the GOP, including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, Minority Whip Jon Kyl and Sen. John McCain of Arizona.

But Senate Foreign Relations ranking member Richard Lugar, D-Ind., joined 16 other Republican senators in supporting Hill's confirmation.

People in Iraq should take advantage in liking their former ambassador, because this will help their country about the problem they are encountering.
