Washington The US State Department envoy to resolve the Gulf crisis, Anthony Zinni, has resigned. Zinni resigned after realising he could not help resolve the Gulf dispute “because of the unwillingness of the regional leaders to agree to a viable mediation effort that we offered to conduct or assist in implementing,” he told CBS News. Zinni also felt there was no need for his involvement with the Middle East Strategic Alliance (MESA) concept, a security alliance that he was asked to introduce to regional leaders, since other members of the administration are carrying it forward.
