I know the Pentagon has opened an office of Iraqi Reconstruction and appointed a civilian to head the post, but if you're looking for a military governor, chances are it would probably be Deputy CENTCOM commander Lt. General John Abizaid, who is of Arabic descent and speaks the language fluently. Abizaid was Commandant of Cadets at West Point a few years back.
The 'baby' general who does the CENTCOM press briefings is Brig. Gen. Vincent Brooks, also a Woo Poo grad ('80) and the first black First Captain (the top cadet commander) of the Corps of Cadets. His older brother is currently Commandant of Cadets.
