The White House has been quietly attempting to appoint a “high-powered czar to oversee the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan with authority to issue directions to the Pentagon, the State Department and other agencies.” It hasn’t publicly disclosed the position, which was today reported by the Washington Post, because it hoped to “find someone President Bush can anoint and announce for the post all at once.”
But so far, the White House hasn’t found anyone willing to take the job. At least three retired four-star generals have turned down the White House’s offer, including a key administration ally and escalation proponent:

Since this position reports directly to the Chimp do you get a translator? Will you also have handler duties as well? Will you have to dumb down so much so he will understand you? There is not enough money for this position that will certainly end your career as anything, they won't even let you wash cars with this on your resume.
My phone would be off the hook if there is a phone call for the position as 'War Czar.' That would be suicidal for me to take that job. Good luck Georgie..
