Some, eh, a whole lot of diplomats don’t want to go to Iraq. Imagine that…why does mommy want to make them go where they do not want to go? Bad mommy! Bad!

Fixin’ to Die Diplomatic Rag
(with a large and graceful sweep of the tonsure to Country Joe & the Fish)

Well, come on all of you diplomats
Uncle Sam really digs you cats
He’s got himself a little Zone of Green
Could use a little help with the local scene
So lay down your life and pick up a check
Pray your heads don’t fall off your necks

And it’s one, two, three
Who are you working for?
Don’t ask them, they’re all so sad
Next stop is in Baghdad
And it’s five, six, seven
Open up the big brief case
Well, there ain’t no crime in wondrin’ why
Condi has a wink in her eye

Imagine the fun in going to work
Driven by a bunch of trigger happy mercs
Blackwater taxis are lined with pearls
Makin’ Christian money in a Moslem world
Just hope and pray when their kingdom comes
Jesus doesn’t think they’re all bums

And it’s one, two, three
Who are you working for?
Don’t ask them, they’re all so sad
Next stop is in Baghdad
And it’s five, six, seven
Open up the big brief case
Well, there ain’t no crime in wondrin’ why
Condi has a wink in her eye

Condileeza gave you all a task
Just go along, do as she asks
Time to play war out in the sand
Put on a show and strike up the band
You know your gang can only come back
When there’s no one left to die in Iraq

And it’s one, two, three
Who are you working for?
Don’t ask them, they’re all so sad
Next stop is in Baghdad
And it’s five, six, seven
Open up the big brief case
Well, there ain’t no crime in wondrin’ why
Condi has a wink in her eye

Come on mothers, don’t be nervous
Put your kids in the foreign service
Come on dads, there are vacancies
Send your kids to the Middle East
Do it for George, do it for Rice
At the airport you can kiss ’em all twice

And it’s one, two, three
Who are you working for?
Don’t ask them, they’re all so sad
Next stop is in Baghdad
And it’s five, six, seven
Open up the big brief case
Well, there ain’t no crime in wondrin’ why
Condi has a wink in her eye

Last add from the Huffpo story:

Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., the House Armed Services Committee’s top Republican, said he intends to suggest that diplomats who refuse to serve in Iraq be replaced by wounded veterans.

“Let’s replace these reluctant Nellies with America’s finest citizens,” he said in a statement. “Our wounded warriors will serve our country efficiently, effectively and with undying patriotism.”

I have an even better idea, Duncan Hunter, R-Calif.: it has to do with your doing precinct work in the Anbar Province. Hey, just in case no one else catches this, “nellies” is a nicer way of saying faggala.

1. a female given name, form of Helen.
2. (lowercase) Slang. a fussily effeminate male.
3. Slang: Disparaging and Offensive. a male homosexual.

Nelly definitions from here.

By Duncan Hunter’s defintion, if he doesn’t go off to fight in Iraq (a war/occupation he supports) than it is obvious he sucks on male reproductive organs. Nelly, indeed.
