White House Struggles to Fill Opening for War Czar
The White House wants someone to focus on conducting strategic reviews for the wars, said Gordon Johndroe, a National Security Council spokesman."The White House is looking into creating a higher profile position that would have the single, full time focus on implementing and executing the recently completed strategic reviews for both Iraq and Afghanistan," Johndroe told FOX News. "This position would report directly to the president as well as Steve Hadley and have representatives in the offices of the secretaries of state and defense in order to speed up and make more efficient the implementation of these strategies." First reported by The Washington Post, the administration is seeking a high-powered candidate to head up a new office, but so far, three retired four-star generals have turned down the offer. Excuse me President Bush, isn't that YOUR Job - you know the part where you have the title COMMANDER IN CHIEF? Stop being a manager trying to delegate everything, and start being a leader, damnit! Crack the whiop and a few skulls if you need to. We are at war and wars need to be FOUGHT, not managed like a Walmart. Delegate the economic stuff and win the war! Posted by: OldSpook 2007-04-12 |
