“We believe at some point, in order to break this dependence on the
. . . coalition, you simply have to back off and let the Iraqis step forward.”
– Maj.
General Lute (h/t Atrios)
So much for prescience.
It's all over but the confirmation.
But make no mistake about it, the presidency just shrunk yet another size.
It's ironic that the crew with such a fetish for the unitary executive would
be so willing to jettison the commander in chief role. But that's exactly what
Bush has done.
So meet Lt.
Gen. Douglas Lute. A tough route to power.
