Duncan Hunter Comes Up With Reaganesque Plan For Bahgdad Embassy

More great ideas like this and more Americans might begin to see why this true Reagan conservative should really be the next president of the US, but unfortunately not being Mr Popular that would make too much sense and so therefore probably not possible. And that's a damn shame.

His answer to the problem of the wussbag state department diplomats that are refusing to go to Iraq to serve their country like the soldiers are being asked to? Fire their asses and give those cushy yet important jobs to our brave patriotic injured soldiers at Walter Reed that want and deserve them if they do. They would love it I'm sure!

Remember that this is what Reagan did when he had enough of the government employed air traffic controllers he fired 'em all when they went out on strike in defiance of federal law because their raise wasn't large enough to suit them, although of coarse they weren't replaced by soldiers. In this case they could do the jobs probably better than the Diplomats and that's why this is a wonderful idea that sounds great to me Mr Hunter.

Use wounded troops if diplomats refuse service:

WorldNetDaily: Plan: "Responding to reports that State Department officials are refusing to serve in Iraq because it's too dangerous, Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., has proposed a novel plan to President Bush – to bypass the agency and recruit from among U.S. military troops discharged after suffering injury. Hunter, a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, told talk-radio host Glenn Beck today he met with Bush just 30 minutes prior to the interview and gave him a letter outlining the plan.

'I said, 'Let's go over to Bethesda and Walter Reed (hospitals) and as we get these new – these soldiers and Marines who are embarking on new careers,' Hunter said, 'let's recruit them for the State Department; and let's fire these guys that refuse to go, and we'll give the State Department careers to these military guys.'" continued
