According to recent reports, there is growing pressure in the white house, congress, and the intelligence community to appoint a person to oversee the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. This war-czar, would be responsible for coordinating resources between the conflicts, and would likely be a retired general of stature.
While this may sound like a good idea, I'm not so sure it is. Isn't that what the Commander-in-chief is for? I mean, isn't that the president's job as CoC? To oversee conflicts? I'm not sure, but this has the sniffings of being unconstitutional, and something I cannot support. Frankly, I'd like to stop appointing people to do things, and just get things done. Win the Iraq war and call it a day.
