Has anyone heard about all these unqualified youngsters, many of them GOPers, who were hired to staff the Coalition Provisional Authority in IRAQ?

I mean, come on--wouldn't you WANT qualified people over there, people who can speak Arabic and the other languages of Iraq, who know somethign about the country, who have managerial or administrative experience, who have worked in war zones or with the military, who--oops, I guess not...


Washington Post: In Iraq, the job opportunity of a lifetime

I find it funny that kids with no experience can make up to $75k to go over to Iraq, whereas people in our army are lucky to be making half.

Also as a side note, I had at least one colleauge in the shipping industry Im in to accept the offer to go work for Cheney&Root-Halleyburton Inc Co. Now to entice people over there- they offer a 6 figure salary, of which the 1st $80k is tax free is you stay for a year of your contract. Tell me that aint some blood money! But I wont lie, if I was offered that I think I would even consider it myself.
