A senior general, trusted by the Bush administration to take over the entire war effort, just publicly rebuked Bush and his entire war non-policy:
"The very fundamental issue is, they don't know where the hell they're going," said retired Marine Gen. John J. "Jack" Sheehan, a former top NATO commander who was among those rejecting the job.
Sheehan said he believes that Vice President Cheney and his hawkish allies remain more powerful within the administration than pragmatists looking for a way out of Iraq. "So rather than go over there, develop an ulcer and eventually leave, I said, 'No, thanks,' " he said.
Bush wants to abdicate role as commander in chief to an unelected political appointee, and the top generals are lining up to say 'NO!'
