What is Iraqnik?
1.
(1) A government employee or private contractor who has worked on Iraq issues, since 2003, for both (a) more than three years, and (b) for more than two government agencies. (2) A subject matter expert whose judgment is completely clouded by having worked too long on Iraq issues and is lost to acronyms and issues only relevant in that country.
