| "Leaving Baghdad" |
| 2006-07-01 |
A week or so ago, a fan of No Pasarán contacted us with a query. He had moved to Paris from …Baghdad! Would we be interested in posting the State Department officer's impressions of his experience in the American embassy in Iraq? After we picked ourselves off the floor and climbed back into our chairs, we answered, "Sure, why not?" |

| #5 This serves rather well as proof that the State Dept needs a thorough enema. |

| #4 A report from the Green Zone, "where almost all decisions were taken for the good and ill with regard to the administration and occupation of Iraq", of a self absorbed donk. |

| #3 I noted also that the gentleman in question stated that the war on Iraq was based on false premises and unjustified. He went in with the stereotypical State outlook on the situation, and his post indicated no change while there. That said, it's always helpful to get the impressions of someone actually there, if only to know what will be said in Paris. |

| #2 I also note he left Baghdad and went directly to... Dunno if Verlaine would care to comment. We'll understand if he won't, or can't. |

| #1 It would be interesting to compare this impression with others from outside of State. |
