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.
Well no shit man! Who, in their right mind, would be willing to commit career suicide by jumping on two sinking ships and steering them to the bottom of the ocean?
This is Bush and Cheney's war and they are going to held accountable by history no matter how hard they try to place the blame on the Democrats for trying to end it or the military for not delivering them their shiny new victory.
