Dear George -

A war czar? Seriously? I'm pretty sure we had one of those already.

He was called the Secretary of Defense.

I understand you prefer the term "full-time manager" of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Again, Secretary of Defense.

Or, you know: YOU.

It's your job to process the information coming in from the Pentagon, NSA and State Department. Lyndon Johnson did it, Kennedy did it, Reagan did it, FDR, Eisenhower...pretty much every president who came before you, really, in some capacity or another. And they all did it without making up yet another useless position and appointing yet another government official to the post. What happened to small government, George? What happened to fiscal responsibility? I thought those were the mainstays and corner posts of the entire Republican platform. We Democrats and Liberals are the big, irresponsible spenders. At least, that's what I've been hearing all my life. But government under your tenure has grown by disproportionate leaps and bounds, George. You've increased spending by at least double while cutting taxes for the very rich, miring us in a fiscally hemorrhaging quagmire, and expanding the role of government in ways I doubt anyone had ever thought of before in the history of this country. I can't wait to see the back of you, George. I really can't. I hope you and your ilk lose your stranglehold on this country for a good, long time, come November 2008. But more importantly, I hope we never again have someone as absolutely lacking in intelligence, wisdom, and creative vision in the White House ever again, no matter what the party affiliation. A wiser man would have made the most of the opportunities you've had in the last 6.5 years and would have worked much more successfully to lessen the impact of the tragedies. But you?

You gave us a war czar.

Awesome.
