The State Department has begun to identify diplomats who could be forced to serve in Iraq next year unless enough volunteers come forward to fill about 300 positions, The Associated Press has learned.[...]
Those on the list will be notified of their status this week and urged to volunteer, according to the internal notice, which was also sent by cable to all U.S. diplomatic missions abroad. If positions remain unfilled after the summer, they will become the core of a group of "prime candidates" who may be forced to go to Iraq, it says.
The announcements, accompanied by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's personal appeal for volunteers, were obtained by the AP.
Hey. Why doesn’t she sign up?
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
great idea for condi. hopefully she will have extra time on her hands before too long. i think she should be required to do something other than collect big fees for speeches or writing a book. i think it's her patriotic duty.
