We now have a "war czar".
President Bush on Tuesday chose Lt. Gen. Douglas Lute, the
Pentagon's director of operations and a former leader of U.S. military forces in the Middle East, to oversee the fighting in
Iraq and
Afghanistan as a war czar.
Pardon me but WTF is that. Did the president just give his constitutional powers to wage war to a subordinate? Is that not one of the most important roles that the President has is to be the Commander in Chief of the armed forces.
I must admit that each and every day this administration totally screws with my sense of reality. We now have an Attorney General who can't remember crap about anything he has done, but yet remembers that his subordinate did everything. We have a Vice President who travels to Iraq to tell their government to get democracy working while doing everything here to keep it from working. We have president who when a massive hurricane hits New Orleans he merely flies over it, and has still faced the fact that that city is still unbuilt. The list goes on and on.
And now I can sleep better knowing we have a "war czar". I can only imagine that he will be as efficient as the "Drug Czar". And by the way the only country in the last few years that has had as many Czars I believe was Russia.
