Cohen says we need to get the bureaucracy to do what it need to do. Ah, yes, bureaucracy is the answer.

Our military has pleaded time and time again to be left alone to do their job....(which is to kill people and to break things, something they do very well...)

I remember, sometime after 911, a retired military officer stated "I fear we are not ruthless enough to win this war".
I've always feared he would be right.
