Gingrich has joined others in suggesting that a single person report directly to Bush

Who is running the war?

The President has the Constitutional authorization. He relies on the SecDef to fulfill the 'war' functions.

Gad, Newt. We don't need another layer of bureaucracy. That is what got us The Homeland Security Department, which it nothing more than a bloated bureaucrat agency.

Mr. President, YOU are the Commander-in-Chief. This is YOUR job to make the big decisions.

David Broder had an interesting column today about the war. He ended it with a paragraph which I agree totally. To excerpt, "Richard Nixon was elected president in 1968 with a promise to end the Vietnam War. And if George Bush doesn't do it, a Democrat will win in 2008 with a promise to end the war in Iraq."
