“With the situation in Iraq ‘grave and deteriorating,’ the United States must begin the process of shifting troops out of the country, members of a bipartisan panel said Wednesday. But at the same time, the group recommended, the Bush administration must make sure that it has sufficient civilian personnel in Iraq—if necessary, by ordering some employees to serve there,” reports the National Journal Group.

“The nature of the mission in Iraq is unfamiliar and dangerous, and the United States has had great difficulty filling civilian assignments in Iraq with sufficient numbers of properly trained personnel at the appropriate rank,” wrote the Iraq Study Group. If people can’t be found to fill the position, “directed assignments” should be the result.

Good idea. And I know who should make the short list.

Let’s see… First and foremost, Paul Wolfowitz. He’s behind a desk at the World Bank, so it will be easy to go over and enlist him to serve in Iraq. Now that Donald Rumsfeld is out of a job, we can send him. Of course, then there is the Prince of Darkness, Richard Perle, and Douglas Feith, former Under Secretary of Defense for Policy. No sense leaving out his co-conspirators, who worked for the Office of Special Plans—the lie factory set-up to push the country into invading Iraq—Abram Shulsky, David Wurmser, the director of Middle East studies for the criminal organization AEI, and we may as well throw in Wurmser’s Israeli wife, Meyrav. Former Perle crony, F. Michael Maloof, should be included, and of course William Luti, a rabid warmonger, perfect for the violent milieu of Baghdad.

No doubt we need to round up the rest of the Straussian, neo-Jacobin crowd: Norman Podhoretz, Elliott Abrams, Jeane Kirkpatrick, Max Boot, William Kristol, Robert Kagan, William Bennett, Charles Krauthammer, James Woolsey, Peter Rodman, and of course we can’t leave out Newt Gingrich, enemy of the Bill of Rights who keeps insisting we are fighting the Third World War. Newt should put his money where his mouth is and hike over to Baghdad.

Surrounding the Project for the New American Century building, maybe flushing it out with CS gas or rat poison, would net Bruce Jackson, Mark Gerson, Gary Schmitt, Thomas Donnelly, Timothy Lehmann, Michael Goldfarb, and a few other “fellows,” all who should be put on a plane and shipped to the Green Zone immediately. Then there’s Joshua Muravchik, Michael Rubin, David Frum, Gertrude Himmelfarb, and most importantly Samuel “clash of civilizations” Huntington over at the American Enterprise Institute, where Bush gets his criminal and psychopathic minds.

It will be a crowded flight.
