BUSH DECIDES TO PUT SOMEONE IN CHARGE OF IRAQ

Yep, it's true--according to [http://uk.reuters.com/article/worldNews/idUKN1121727120070411|an April 11, 2007 article] from UK.Reuters.com the Bush administration is looking for "an Iraq Czar". Check out a cutting:

Help Wanted: White House seeks high-profile manager of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to coordinate competing agencies and make sure President George W. Bush's unpopular strategy is implemented.

In a tradition of presidential trouble-shooting, the White House is considering creating a "war czar" post in the National Security Council and has put out feelers to some retired generals to see if they would be interested.

Shouldn't they have done this BEFORE THEY INVADED IRAQ???

Nothing like saying things are going well by hiring someone specific to be in charge of the mess.

Did I say they are hiring someone? Sorry--they want to hire someone--but that doesn't mean anyone wants to be hired. More from the article:

The Washington Post said at least three retired four-star generals approached by the White House in recent weeks had turned down the position.

Retired Marine Gen. John "Jack" Sheehan, a former top NATO commander who rejected the White House overture, told the Post: "The very fundamental issue is, they don't know where the hell they're going."

Bet you're not going to listen to THAT general, Bush!
