Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has ordered U.S. Embassy posts in Baghdad filled ahead of others worldwide, saying it's essential diplomats sent to Iraq be the most qualified.
In a cable sent to all U.S. missions abroad and obtained Wednesday by The Associated Press, Rice disclosed a new hiring plan amid increasing criticism of American efforts in Iraq. It is designed to prevent a potential severe vacancy problem and, in part, reduce resistance from anti-war elements in the State Department who have been accused of holding up appointments and discouraging diplomats from going to Iraq.

Officals familiar with the situation said Crocker was more importantly addressing concerns that Iraq policy is being obstructed by opponents of the war who have influence on staffing decisions.
They cited numerous examples, including three involving qualified mid-level staffers and two involving more senior diplomats, who volunteered for Baghdad duty but whose appointments were delayed for months or discouraged at the expense of the embassy and its tasks.
One senior State Department official described the resistance as "passive-aggressive," but said it was clearly related to differences over the Iraq war and at odds with the requirement for career diplomats to promote the policies of any administration for which they serve.
Another said that in some cases there appeared to be active sabotage of Iraq staffing plans and claimed that the diplomats' union, the American Foreign Service Association, or AFSA, was interfering in the process by suggesting that Baghdad is too unsafe for civilian diplomats, many of whom are returning home with stress-related disorders.

BTTT!
Definitely a high risk job opportunity.
If this is going public, splashed on the pages of the Washington Post, this sabotage has got be pretty bad. Liberals undermine a war effort then complain how it doesn’t work out. Proving once more that liberalism is a mental disorder
Another Bush failure! Why didn’t he clean out the swamp?
He kept more Klinton appointees and strong dem bureaucrats than I could stomach.

Diplomats have (need?) a union? Who would have thunk it?
There are many parts of the government in Washington in need of a through house cleaning but none more in need than the Department of State.
coward weenies
Looks like a commie to me.
Roll a few heads high enough up the food chain in the State Department and it will do wonders for those who want to do a good job. It works all the time no matter race, color or political inclination. Heck, if the good employees start seeing some hair flying, we might even get to know who is leaking to the press and the Dimocraps
I’d love to send her an email!
Without emptying DC of all the people who live there, you will not find many (if any) who are not libs. After all, they elected barry twice as mayor, even after his charge of cocaine use. Plus, did he not actually serve time?
From the Liberal Washington Post. Where’s the Barf Alert?
Next to Moveon.org the State Department is one of the most anti-american groups I can think of.
I would love to see the day that a POTUS could clean out that nest of lefties. No one has ever been able to fire the whole bunch of “career diplomats” that infest the place.
You have to sweep the place clean if you want Americans with American interests at the core.
Is EVERYONE GAY NOW????? Geesh....if that thing is the reason I’m not going to get my passports in time...
Glad YOU have a name for the thing, because I was at a complete loss as to what it was!
