I found this story from the Washington Post to be extraordinarily disturbing:

The White House wants to appoint a high-powered czar to oversee the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan with authority to issue directions to the Pentagon, the State Department and other agencies, but it has had trouble finding anyone able and willing to take the job, according to people close to the situation.

At least three retired four-star generals approached by the White House in recent weeks have declined to be considered for the position, the sources said, underscoring the administration's difficulty in enlisting its top recruits to join the team after five years of warfare that have taxed the United States and its military.

Ummm... isn't that what the President is supposed to do?!  Call me crazy, but I seem to recall this part of the Constitution where it mentions that he's the Commander-in-Chief of the military.  If the President is perfectly willing to hand over his power to a "war czar" (and that name is extremely disturbing in and of itself), then why are people bitching about Nancy Pelosi going to Syria?  The President apparently can't be bothered with managing the war... maybe he doesn't want to talk with other governments anymore either.  She might as well make some foreign policy while she's there... you know... to give the President some more time at his Texas ranch.

The White House has not publicly disclosed its interest in creating the position, hoping to find someone President Bush can anoint and announce for the post all at once. Officials said they are still considering options for how to reorganize the White House's management of the two conflicts. If they cannot find a person suited for the sort of specially empowered office they envision, they said, they may have to retain the current structure.

The "current structure"... as in the one where he makes the decisions?  Exactly what did I vote for him to do, if not run the war?  Look Bush... either do your God damn job... or get out.  You want to get things going again... then fucking do it!  That is your job.  I elected you to do it.
