NanoPost: Commanders On The Ground
Tom · Thursday, Jul 31, 2008, 6:18 PM · Krehbiel Commentary
It occurs to me that there is a serious flaw with politicians deferring to military commanders on the ground when it comes to Iraq: It undermines the principle that the U.S. is a civilian government. This isn't Burma, after all. Obviously you want military commanders leading military campaigns... but foreign policy? Five years after the end of major combat operations? (No, I still don't believe the situation in Iraq is a "war.")
