U.S. diplomats vent over forced Iraq duty
Several hundred U.S. diplomats vented anger and frustration Wednesday
about the State Department's decision to force foreign service officers to take
jobs in Iraq, with some likening it to a "potential death sentence."
...
"It's one thing if someone believes in what's going on over there and
volunteers, but it's another thing to send someone over there on a forced assignment," Croddy said. "I'm sorry, but basically that's a potential death sentence and you know it. Who will raise our children if we are dead or
seriously wounded?"
His remarks were met with loud and sustained applause from the
approximately 300 diplomats at the meeting. (emp. mine)
Fair weather friends who believe they should be able to choose their cruise. To quote the liberal kos, screw'em. They are government employees and they'll go where they're told.
If they don't like it or they don't support the administration, fire them.
Oh, and to you dippos, don't let the door hit you in the rear on your way out. Ta Ta.
