"You have no idea how hard it is to work on the war, find extra hours to develop a forward-looking policy that tracks with the president's and SECDEF's [secretary of defense's] priorities and then try to advance it on the Hill or in the [decision-making] process, and find yourself outmanned by an opposition funded not by the leftist foundations or the congressional-opposition staff budget, but by your own policy shop's budget."

This is flat out ridiculous. Seems like Bush could banish this kind of crap with an executive order.

Bush should disband these "hives of leftist activity" with a simple EO.
