Wow, so much to read and consider! Great article, thanks for posting this.

Interesting that his prescription for congressional oversight does not include timelines - that's the cheap way our for our CYA politicians. Rather, he is asking congress to seriously take up its oversight and judgmental duties, a task today's very political group might not be prepared to assume:

First, Congress must change the system for selecting general officers. Second, oversight committees must apply increased scrutiny over generating the necessary means and pursuing appropriate ways for applying America's military power. Third, the Senate must hold accountable through its confirmation powers those officers who fail to achieve the aims of policy at an acceptable cost in blood and treasure.
