Mr. Holbrooke also initiated contacts with the Taliban about negotiating a political settlement with the Afghan government, a process he said would have to involve neighboring Pakistan. Nine years later, many experts on Afghanistan say a settlement between Kabul and the Taliban remains one of the few options for bringing lasting peace to the country.
The special representative's office "elevated the importance of the diplomatic and political equities to be on par with the military equities," said Daniel F. Feldman, who served as Mr. Holbrooke's deputy and later became the special representative himself. "What we're still bereft of is any strategy for what's going to lead to stability in Afghanistan."
Mr. Trump's decision to authorize the Pentagon to deploy more troops was a stopgap measure, driven by worries that the Taliban were making gains on the battlefield and that the government of President Ashraf Ghani of Afghanistan was in danger of falling. On Friday, a series of deadly bombings in Pakistan added to the sense of regional instability.
The White House National Security Council has met multiple times to work on a broader strategy. It is being labeled a "South Asia" policy, to distinguish it from the Obama administration's so-called Af-Pak policy. Mr. Mattis has said he hopes to present the strategy by mid-July.
Mr. Tillerson and his chief of staff, Margaret Peterlin, attended at least one meeting last week, people briefed on the process said. But the State Department did not send an Afghanistan subject expert to the meeting, a practice that officials say has become commonplace under Mr. Tillerson.
Mr. Tillerson and Ms. Peterlin did not brief the special representative's office about the meetings, and even now, the department's Afghan experts are not certain what role they are supposed to play in enacting the policy.
The problems are compounded by a lack of senior people in the State Department's Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs. It currently has no assistant secretary, even one to serve on an acting basis, and only an acting ambassador in Kabul. In effect, there is no expert at the department on Afghanistan above the level of the Afghan office director.
Some diplomats said the staffing vacuum, rather than the end of the special representative's office, is the problem.
"Consolidation makes a lot of sense from a policy point of view," Mr. Carpenter said, "but in the end, it's all about the right personnel, and I trust they have a plan to put the right senior officials in these positions."

Q Research General #860: Will the Choir boy sing? Edition
Has anybody confirmed if the Iran policy planning meeting in Vienna is still on?
Brian Hook - often called a NEVER TRUMPER - the Director of Policy Planning at the State Department under Rex Tillerson, was scheduled to go prior to Rex' shitcanning.
Tillerson's Chief of Staff, Margaret Peterlin, and the Deputy Chief of Staff, Christine Ciccone, both resigned.
R.C. Hammond was Tillerson's Spokesman
John J. Sullivan is Deputy Secretary of State
I thought I would add these names to the pot for hive mind analysis.

Q Research General #808:
HAHAHA
More from State Official: "I really hope he is allowed to bring his own staff (because Tillerson's staff ) is mean and not well liked." The official specifically points to TIllerson's Chief of Staff Margaret Peterlin as a very unpopular & polarizing figure at State.
