Bush finally found somebody willing to take the job. Lt. Gen. Douglas Lute.
Lute won’t have any say in military strategy, but his role over other matters — primarily reconstruction — also will be awkward, given his rank. He has three stars. The top general in Iraq has four.[...]
Success depends a great deal on the force of Lute’s personality and his ability to convince Washington’s behemoth bureaucratic barges to make a few needed course changes. Progress is possible, but Lute won’t have the power to take away funds or fire people.
In other words, he's doomed.
Lute must gain congressional approval before he can assume the position.
I'm not going anywhere near that line.
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
