General Lute, meet the Iraqis; Iraqis, Lute.
Is this a dream job, or what?? Let's ponder the job description: this person will be responsible for mediating between two intractable clusterfucks: On one side, the Iraq occupation/insurgency/civil war; on the other,the Bush-Cheney White House.
Anthony H. Cordesman of the Center for Strategic and International Studies, [describes General Lute's new Tsardom as being] "a coordinator who works for a White House that has no long-term plan or strategy."
That was the reason given by other generals who turned down the job, including retired Marine Gen. John J. "Jack" Sheehan. "I wish the guy luck," Sheehan said of Lute yesterday. "He's got his work cut out for him."
Clusterfucks to the right of him, clusterfucks to the left, into the mouth of hell rode the commander of the Light Brigade .
