Keith Olbermann on MSNBC:
"There is no draft, no forced service, right? [...] Tell that to the kids who are stop-loss into their third, fourth, fifth tours in Iraq.""Tell that now again to the State Department for the second consecutive year, the State is warning its diplomats that there are about 300 openings in Iraq and apparently the number of volunteers is down to roughly zero."
"They may be forced to go there or quit. [...] Secretary of State Rice said that those staffers who have protested the involuntary assignments are offensive to her and cast a very bad light on the Foreign Service."
[...]
"Well, here‘s the suggestion, Madam Secretary, your term is expiring in no more than nine months and four days, why don‘t you show your devotion to the country and that department you‘ve headed and show those who‘ve made those offensive remarks what you‘re made of. [...] Why don‘t you ask the next administration to let you continue to serve to at State at one of those great jobs in Iraq."
Indeed!
