"The White House wants to appoint a high-powered czar to oversee the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan with authority to issue directions to the Pentagon, the State Department and other agencies, but it has had trouble finding anyone able and willing to take the job, according to people close to the situation."

Correct me if I am wrong here, but this position sounds like a Commander-in-Chief. Isn't this what the President is supposed to do? It is funny that no one wants the job. Maybe he should ask Hillary, Obama or Edwards. They seem to want to do it.
