The Bush Administration couldn’t get anyone to actually be the “war czar” so the War President tapped the Pentagon to fill the position. Seems a bit redundant, doesn’t it? And, a bit overly bureaucratic?
Well, That’s becuase it is.
It’s interesting how things change:
“I’m a war president. I make decisions here in the Oval Office in foreign-policy matters with war on my mind. Again, I wish it wasn’t true, but it is true. And the American people need to know they got a president who sees the world the way it is. And I see dangers that exist, and it’s important for us to deal with them.”- George Bush – February 7, 2004.
Maybe War President is looking for someone to blame. Doesn’t matter…
Conan gets it right.
