The decider wants a czar

The decider appears to have decided that he is not such a good decider after all.

For some reason, however, no one wants the job as war czar. Here is some ignorant speculation about why that might be.

1. Bush had a retired General in his cabinet who he treated rather poorly.
2. The generals think the job would be just PR, saying the president's war policies are great, even when they are crap.
3. Nobody wants to clean up someone else's FUBAR.
4. The money they are making as beltway bandits is too good.
5. They are too busy plotting a coup.
6. There really isn't anything left to do except pack up and leave. What this war needs is a negotiator, not another General.
7. There really isn't anything left to do except guard the oil fields (well, we aren't really doing that.)
8. What the hell are Gates, Rice, & Pace doing? Oh, planning the Iran war. No thanks.
9. They would only take the job on the condition that Bush and Cheney resign.
10. They don't want to miss American Idol.
