Staffing has been an issue in recent months. Many on the staff of L. Paul Bremer, the top U.S. administrator in Iraq, are young, comparatively inexperienced in the Middle East, non-Arabic speakers and political appointees rather than career Foreign Service officers. Some have already left or plan to do so before occupation ends to work on the president's reelection campaign, according to U.S. officials.

Cause you know the Iraqi's really want to see another ruling party residing in that palace. /sarcasm
