Rice answers anger over Iraq assignments

WASHINGTON - Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is trying to quell a revolt among U.S. diplomats angry over moves to force foreign service officers to work in Iraq under threat of dismissal.

"Incoming is coming in every day, rockets are hitting the Green Zone," said Jack Croddy, a senior foreign service office, referring to the highly fortified area of Baghdad where the embassy is located.

"It's one thing if someone believes in what's going on over there and volunteers, but it's another thing to send someone over there on a forced assignment," Croddy said. "I'm sorry, but basically that's a potential death sentence and you know it. ... Who will raise our children if we are dead or seriously wounded?"

So our diplomats know that even the Green Zone is a disaster area - and even Rice has admitted this - and yet we are supposed to believe that we are accomplishing something in Iraq?

Is the real reason that bush wants to attack Iran that he is going to keep starting wars until he can get one right?
