Our Man In The Middle East: Andrew Peek '99
Politico [PDF] ^ | prior to 2020 | Daniel Lippman '08

Posted on 01/19/2020 10:47:24 PM PST by SunkenCiv

Peek went on to major in international politics at Princeton, study Persian, and pursue a master's in international relations at Harvard before heading to D.C. as a foreign policy researcher for the conservative Heritage Foundation. He then became a foreign policy adviser to Oregon Senator Gordon Smith, a Republican. When Smith lost his next election, Peek went on to work for another Republican senator, Mike Johanns of Nebraska, on Syria and Lebanon policy, helping to draft a bill expanding sanctions on Hezbollah.

In 2008, he enlisted as a reserve officer in the Army and spent a year in Afghanistan at the personal request of General David Petraeus, commander of U.S. forces. He ultimately worked for Petraeus's successor, General John Allen, as an adviser and intelligence officer...

After returning to the States, he embarked on a Ph.D. in international relations at Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies before wrapping up his research at UT Austin as a graduate fellow. He also became a frequent Fox News commentator on foreign policy and a regular opinion contributor for the New York Daily News, the then-Jared Kushner-owned New York Observer, and Foreign Affairs.

I’m suspecting that it’s possible this could get VERY interesting.
