It was about this time the President claimed that what was need was a war czar an officer to coordinate all the activities of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. A person to insulate the President from those who would inject reason into the arguments of madness. To subvert and subordinate the roles of the Joint Chiefs, a yes man, a man that wouldn’t say sir, no sir.
But finding a general to help the administration subvert the military power structure is easier said than done. Among the four star generals there were no takers or as General John J. "Jack" Sheehan put it, "The very fundamental issue is, they don't know where the hell they're going," "So rather than go over there, develop an ulcer and eventually leave, I said, 'No, thanks.' "
Finely among the second tier of candidates Lt. General Douglas Lute accepts the role of war czar. Lute will be acting as the President’s adjutant giving orders to those of superior rank. Working outside the system to subvert the system a man who in the eyes of military cadre has gone over to the other side. He assumes his highest military position and his last.
The evidence is clear, the evidence is incontrovertible, and from the privates to the generals the message is consistent. Only the administration and it’s toadies refuse to hear, the Dino’s (Democrats in name only) feign their regrets of how they would stop them if only they could. Sick, sinister, sycophant’s with mercenary machinations willing to trade blood in folly for prestige of office.
Yet we out here in the blogisphere can profess our own partisan positions we can call for the removal of the national government and who will listen to us? After all who are we? The anonymous, the unknown, members of the great unwashed. Who cares what we might think, but listen well. When an army general in the highest echelons of United States military power structure says what you and I have been saying. Or if a General in Russia or Pakistan where to say, "There has been a glaring, unfortunate display of incompetent strategic leadership within our national leaders," "In my profession, these type of leaders would immediately be relieved or court-martialled."
What signal would we think they were sending? Which begs another question, where is the front line in this war now? In Baghdad or in Washington?
