well if any one was watching Gates and Pace the other day, they were asked about the very subject while discussing the extentions of troop deployments. Gates said the postion was not as discribed by the media. He said it was being created to co-ordinate all branches of government to cut back on the red tape and get every one on the same page and not run the war. So who do you want to believe? Gates’ version or some writer looking to create another controversy?
Has creating a government position ever reduced the amount of red tape? This smells like just another Big Government boondogle dreamed up by people who can manage the situation and want to pass the buck.
I saw the same thing that you did. Hopefully everyone else will, now. Such a rush to bash Bush, sheesh!
