State department should not compel service in Iraq |
|
without the company of the Congress being compelled to hold session in Iraq for a year. Lets see how many Congressman are A-OK with the Iraq mission if they themselves are part of it every single day.

1. If the State Department |
|
is chock full of chickenshit chickenhawk, poorly educated, not very good in their current field bush syncophants, I'd say ship everyone of the motherfuckers to Fallujah. If they got their jobs solely through blind loyalty to bush, let them get what they deserve.

6. The Foreign Service people are career GSers and NOT political in their jobs |
|
They serve the nation regardless of who is president.
Nonetheless, many diplomatic types RESIGNED from their jobs as soon as it was clear the invasion of Iraq was about to happen. Most of the current Foreign Service was opposed to the invasion.

3. Excellent suggestion- I would only add the following improvement: |
|
Their families are required to join them there and if their children are healthy and of age, they will join our boys and girls in uniform while mom and dad do congressional business in Iraq.
Whaddya say? Can we add that clause to your proposal?

5. How 'bout they be required to |
|
honor their contracts?
They do have the option, legally, of resigning at any time.
