Iraq is now outsourcing to the U.S., and so the circle is complete:

I need in excess of 50 people ASAP. And I need them ready to deploy within 7 days or less of signing a contract. These positions are not going to wait. If they are not filled, they will simply be cancelled. The initial deployments are 3 months, but based on performance will be extended into semi-perm....

f you are currently in-country (Iraq), or in-theater (south west Asia/Gulf), and are completing a contract or want to switch to something new - I need to hear from you ASAP. If you already have experience in Iraq, all the better. If you have experience in the ME/NA region, great.

The standard comp package is base salary (negotiable but calculated off your most recent base pay) plus 25% HDP, and 25% Post Differential (both non-cumm and calculated off the base), 5 days R&R every 3 months (we'll fly you to point of origin or equiv) and 15 business days a year annual leave (same procedure). Lodging and M&IE are covered, so no perdiems unless in transit in Kuwait or Amman. Lodging and work is in the GZ....

SEND ... YOUR CV/RESUME. NOW.

Here's a partial listing of where I need to place people:

IRMO (ops mgt office and Info center)

Ministries of: Interior; Justice; Planning and Develpoment Cooperation; Utilities Sectors.

I wonder who thinks mutating their potential kids is worth a 50% raise above ordinary pay?

  • I wonder who thinks mutating their potential kids is worth a 50% raise above ordinary pay?

    From looking at the poster's picture, we're dealing with a smoker; looking at their journal, past the point of even wanting to reproduce ... (which, judging from their picture, wasn't ever really an option anyway)

    Guess they missed the news story in the newspaper Friday about smokers having lower intelligence scores.

    • Darwin, Darwin, Darwin. If behavior was nature instead of nurture, all of the non-conscientious objectors would be gone already.
    • Hey!

      Us smokers are people too ...

      Yea, I know it is bad for your health and all of that, every single goddamn one of us with more than a room temprature IQ is well aware of the problems it causes.

      Smoking may be bad for your brain and damage intelligence but alcohol abuse is still a much faster way to fry your brain and fuck up your health (and your life).

      The funny thing is a lot of the smarter people I know smoke and ancedotaly the percentage of smokers among the more intelligent seems to be a bit higher
      • The distribution of the IQs would be interesting. Looking at the societal underclass that smokes in much, much higher numbers probably tilts the mean pretty far.

        Of course, if the study corrected for socio-economics, I'm just pissing in the wind.

        Oooh....Shiny. What was that? Time for another smoke.

          It would be interesting to see a breakdown by profession vs. the population at large and vs. similar socio-economic groups.

          In general from what I understand there is a overal corellation to educational achievement. IOW the less education you have the more likely you are to smoke.

          Things like intelligence (measured by SAT scores or IQ) are somewhat harder to sample for than educational achievement so unless the data was gatehered as part of another s

              Well I'm glad for you that you quit, but you are welcome to get off your anti-smoking high horse any time.

              Why don't you direct your energy at something that will actually improve the respratory health of everyone including non-smokers and athsmatics like passing stricter emissons standards for transportation and industry?

                Well, I've tried my best to advocate for wind power and electric vehicles. What more can I do?

                There's the Protandim pill from lifeline neutraceuticals which should be out in February.

                • Well, I've tried my best to advocate for wind power and electric vehicles. What more can I do?

                  There are plenty of steps in between such as cleaning up polluting industry (do you have any idea how much pollution the average cement plant or smelter puts out?), reducing coal-fired powerplant emissions, increasing vehicle emissions standards, mandating the use of low-sulfur diesel and catalitic converters for diesel vehicles, etc.

                  Some of this can be done at the state level too if the Federal Government and C

                  • do you have any idea how much pollution the average cement plant or smelter puts out?

                    Yeah, a whole hell of a lot less than people get from secondhand tobacco smoke.

                    Your arrogance and dangerous lack of respect for your body and the health of others is disgusting. I withdraw my offer to refrain from renforcing my points on this topic at any opportunity.

                    You claim, like many, to be able to quit at any time. And then you have the gall to claim that children are responsible for more resperatory illness t

                    • Yeah, a whole hell of a lot less than people get from secondhand tobacco smoke.

                      I'm sorry but that is bullshit and you know it.

                      Almost any cement plant puts out large amounts of particulate matter along with whatever pollutants are in the fuel used to heat the kiln (typically coal dust). Even ones with relatively modern pollution controls spew a lot of crap out most of which isn't fun for athsmatics especially when atmospheric conditions keep everything close to the ground. It's the same deal with smelters
                    • Do you have any evidence that there is more damage being done from cement plants than secondhand tobacco smoke, or are you just making that up?

                      Secondhand tobacco smoke is mostly avoidable if you choose to do so.

                      Perhaps it's getting there, but there is still a way to go. I choose to support legislators who pledge to enact a 50-foot stand off from open doors, windows, and air intake vents. Analogously, I support legislators who put scrubbers on coal-burning plants and don't build them in populated areas

          • I have found no correlation between smoking and intelligence, other than what could be explained by a stimulant effect alone, and even then, that's in such a small proportion that I would predict a generally negative correlation. People who do not understand therapies against an drug, are, by definition, less educated in any context concerning that drug, and therefore the incidence of addiction is likely to be in the less educated portion.

            Avoidance of the following is recommended: unnecessary and nonpres

            • Um dude, you were missing my point that there are plenty of intelligent people who smoke, most of whom are damn well aware of the risks.

              Otherwise how do you explain doctors and nurses in specialties like oncology, cardiology, etc. who smoke?

              Avoidance of the following is recommended: unnecessary and nonprescribed drugs, physical accidents, exposure to radiation and teratogens, alcohol and tobacco consumption....

              That is an advisory to pregnant women, something that is highly unlikely to happen to me.

              • I am much more likely to quit if I don't have to keep hearing about the evils of smoking from self-rightious non-smokers.
                Okay, I hear you; this is the last of it you'll hear from me. (Except in your deepest phases of R.E.M. sleep, where I will appear as a giant squirrel with a five-dimensional powerpoint projector pointed directly between your eyes. If you're lucky.)

          Um, you just don't get it do you?

          I take it you've never smoked.

          Basicly it boils down to a choice between risk and pleasure. One can choose to live a life where they attempt to avoid any activity or substance that might reduce their life expectancy, or one can do things like eat red meat, use butter, drink coffee, go out in
          • How do you balance the risk of increasing the incidence of resperatory illness in your community with the amount of pleasure you obtain from a dose of nicotine?

            Are you sure that you are feeling actual pleasure?

              WTF are you talking about?

              If you mean by increasing it to myself, I can think of a whole lot of things people shouldn't do because they might increase the incidence of whatever illness or injury in their commuity. Say by riding a motorcycle or eating fatty foods.

              • I mean, how do you justify increasing your own risk of common contageous resperatory illness, which puts those who you breathe near at greater risk? I can't believe the pleasure you get from smoking is worth the risk to you (although I respect your right to make that trade-off), or the risk to those who you interact with at close range, those who use doorhandles after you have, after you touched your hand to your nose before realizing you had a cold, etc.

                • plenty of things can make someone more suceptable to respratory illness many of which they have control over.

                  And don't get me started on what little germ factories kids are. Every time I've gotten sick in the last few years it has been off of a sick kid or someone who's kids were sick.

                  (and BTW I don't get sick very often, at most one cold per year, typically less)
      • Us smokers are people too

        But not for much longer.

        *ducks*

        Sorry, I just couldn't resist. You put up a brave fight in this deeply offtopic thread. As an ex-smoker (with the occassional drunken lapse), I agree wholeheartedly with what everybody has said, no matter how contradictory and/or counterintuitive that may or may not be.
  • I'm glad the guy specified that it would be "better" if somone applying for a position at the Interior Ministry happened to have "experience in Iraq." I wonder why America's losing in Iraq? Probably because of the liberal media.
  • Cause' this train went way off course! :D

    Maybe that a pen that she's twirling cause she's too cool like Val Kilmer in Top Gun?
