And what makes him "uniquely qualified"??

Is it: "emails indicate that McGurk had an intimate relationship with a Baghdad-based female American journalist while he was married to another woman."

OR

"led negotiations with Iraqi officials over an agreement that ... alienated some Iraqi politicians."

Even though, "We believe the nominee lacks the leadership and management experience necessary to head America’s largest embassy, in one of the world’s most volatile regions."

But Obama WANTS this particular man for the job.

Daily Horoscope for May 22

Cancer

The question of who and what you should believe is never far away today. Someone could easily mislead you, although it's a moot point whether they do this intentionally or not. Or there could be a communication glitch that means no one knows what's going on. Be very careful when handling money because there could be lots of silly mistakes, and if you're really unlucky there might also be some double-dealing too.
