Bush Iraq Adviser Blackwill to Step Down

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/nm/bush_adviser_iraq_dc

~snip~

Robert Blackwill had been mentioned in speculation about President Bush (news - web sites)'s second-term foreign policy team, with some observers pegging him as a possible successor to national security adviser Condoleezza Rice (news - web sites).

Blackwill told Rice several weeks ago he would leave soon after the U.S. election, said a White House official who declined to be identified.

Blackwill, a former U.S. ambassador to India, was tapped by the White House in August 2003 to be coordinator for strategic planning to Rice and manage the administration's Iraq policy.

He was widely credited with reshaping the administration's policy by focusing on ending American control of Iraq and establishing the temporary government. Blackwill was closely involved in selecting the Iraqi interim leadership.
