What on earth compelled Lt. Gen Douglas E. Lute to volunteer to become the nations "War Czar", to stick his head through the carnival canvas to become the permanent target for war critics, thereby deflecting attention from GWB?
There already exists a unified command structure to handle all of the issues that are supposed to be addressed by the new “war czar”. The bio on Lute suggests that this is a man of great intelligence and skill. Did his soldier’s ethic force him to say, “Can Do, Sir!” Or did someone say it was his turn in the barrel?
I wish I had the time to sit down with this guy over a couple of beers and find out what the hell he really was thinking.
Lute. Remember the name. Feel free to use it anytime in place of “scapegoat”.

Not only that, but doesn't the Consitution of the United States already detail the roles & responsibilities of a "war czar"?
I had always thought that the "war czar" was called the "Commander In Chief".
If Bush is unable or unwilling to fufill the duties & responsibilities of his office, he should either step down or be impeached!
