More seriously, I don't really get your point. The choice of Allawi came out of the Iraqi governing council, to the apparent surprise of everyone outside of it. The US' agreeing to go along with it, in light of the fact that we've got 100k soldiers in country and the keys to the joint, strikes me as important. If we weren't very comfortable with Allawi, I think we'd have said so.

Joe Biden, BTW, was similarly upset during the Sunday talk show circuit. Here on FNC:

As noted elsewhere, this was the most important thing that Biden said. He's trying to take the inside track on the Sec'y of State appointment.
