War Czar: Position Available, Not Offered
Yes, the White House says, the Bush administration is looking for a "war czar" to "cut through the bureaucracy" and issue directives across agencies to coordinate America's military efforts overseas. So reports the Washington Times today. White House spokeswoman Dana Perino says the Bush administration is "talking to people" about who might fill such a position. She says they haven't offered the post to anybody yet. But that, as the Washington Post reported yesterday, hasn't stopped a series of retired four-star generals from turning down the job. Maybe they're just launching a preemptive strike in the event a formal offer is made.
