re: "State Department Seeks Advisors for South Sudan Armed Forces Transformation"

Domani Spero at Diplopundit ("Just one obsessive observer, diplomatic watcher, opinionator and noodle newsmaker monitoring the goings on at Foggy Bottom and the worldwide available universe.") shared a State Dept. solicitation for a job overseas.

Money quote(s):

"Not only has the State Department got itself a new private army in Iraq, we now will also be training and mentoring the Ministry of Defense of the world’s newest country.

I’m sure we’re all relieved to learn about this."

Calling what AmbEmb Baghdad has in the way of security contractors a "private army' is a bit of a stretch, but let that lie for now.
