With this manuever Bush is basically telling America that he's tired of being President. He's acting like a spoiled boy who got tired of playing with a certain toy. Unbelievable.

I think you are oversimplifying the issue without a true vision about how the government truly works. The “War Czar” and his cabinet and staff is to be an appointed post which will remain filled no matter who is in power (Repubidiots or Dumocrats). The idea is to increase the size of the government and provide some continuity during such times as administration changes. While the guy at the top will change with the new incoming president – as with all the other cabinet secretaries; his staff – all good Government Services (GS) employees will remain to pursue the correct aims of the government which is to increase government and their involvement in both our lives and around the world.
The thing you miss is that no matter who is running the show the guys in the GS ranks continue to run the government as they see fit. They stay in the same job no matter whose administration is in place for the next 4 years. After working around these guys for my first career I can tell you this is how it works.

The terrorists have been continually in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Bush knew that from the commencing up. The Afghan conflict began formerly the Iraqi conflict, quite to combat the terrorists. Bush have been given so caught up in Iraq he forgot approximately Afghanistan. you're only rewriting historic previous. Sorry, yet i don't think of we would desire to continually have somebody with interest deficit sickness as "conflict Czar." Too many extra individuals might die needlessly.

Yes, I'm VERY confused here... we have a SECDEF (and staff), a National Security Advisor (and staff), and the Joint Chiefs of Staff !!
I was VERY amused by the riff / rant that Jon Stewart did on the subject last night on "The Daily Show".
I remember when the Republicans stood for SMALLER government.

no no no thats not how i look at it. I look at it as if a dem gets office or even a repub they might pull troops out so bush is looking to give control of this war to someone that isnt the next pres so the war will continue untill we are done.

You are correct, the war czar will just be someone to put the blame on.

It's pretty dumb. Yes, that is the job of, oh let me think, the President, Veep, SecDEF, and about a couple dozen Generals.
Another boss is about the last thing this mess needs.

He seems to answer everything by expanding the size and reach of the federal government. Maybe one more layer of beauracracy will solve the problem...
