Al Faw Palace was very impressive from the air. AUTHOR

In contrast, the embassy was not ornate but solid, as solid as the people we interviewed there. General Petraeus spoke highly of Ambassador Crocker and his top aides. However, he remained disappointed with the total amount of interagency support he was getting, particularly as reflected in unfilled positions in many provincial reconstruction teams, and our first interview of the trip was a long talk about that issue with Phyllis Powers, director of the Office of Provincial Affairs at the embassy. She was frank about her frustrations trying to fill thirty PRTs and PSTs (provincial support teams, stationed in rear areas). She estimated that task occupied 40 percent of her time. She had great difficulties getting any agency, including DoD, to meet quotas or release volunteers.
