Want a great career oportunity? HUD needs people for Iraq!

From an email that went out this morning to HUD employees ...

HUD employees interested in helping the Iraqi people to govern themselves and rebuild their economy may soon have an opportunity. The State Department is seeking motivated, permanent Federal employees from around the government to serve our nation at the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad for one-year terms.

HUD is planning a presentation by State Department representatives for later this month, which will provide details on positions available, benefits of serving, and what life is like today in Iraq. HUD will also present an Iraq Service Recognition Package that will list additional compensation benefits.

If you have an interest in learning more about this opportunity and commitment, please notify *******.

This is a unique opportunity to serve our country and to help shape a free, more secure and prosperous Iraq. There are few such opportunities in life to make a lasting impact and contribution to history. We encourage you to consider this exciting opportunity.

2. For those who feel that bringing the fight to them wasn't enough...
they have to bring their asses too.

Good for them, living in Washington DC, living in fear, what's the diff? Other than the fact that DC has great Ethiopian food that is...

3. "Permanent Fed employees" too smart to go for this.
It's one thing to fire up some impoverished, poorly educated 17 year old to sign up to get a fat signing bonus - at that age, kids think they'll live forever and take a lot of dumb risks. But I have faith that any permanent Federal employee has long since figured out how to survive, and goin to Iraq is nothing they'll volunteer for. Let's get the officers and lobbyists for that top GOP-sucking-up-to lobbying group, the National Homebuilders' Association. They never met a politician they wouldn't bribe.

5. Well, it would be an adventure
And the Iraqis could use knowledgeable people to assist in setting up a functioning state. Just stay in the Green Zone.

6. That's the spirit...build affordable homes in Iraq. We don't need
affordable housing here. Besides, all the Katrina evacuees have all found homes of thier own. That's why FEMA never bothered to deliver those trailers. (SARCASM)
