Bush found a cority

The US President appointed a new assistant to Iraq and Afghanistan George Bush intends to appoint a new assistant to the president to coordinate military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. Bush decided to nominate the candidacy of the chief of operations in the Joint Committee of the Chiefs of Staff of the US Armed Forces, Lieutenant General Douglas Lyuta, to the position of new assistant, whom American journalists have already christened the “Military Tsar”.

According to RIA Novosti , the sources in the White House and the Pentagon are not yet ready to say exactly when Bush will announce the nomination of Lyut for a new position. Note that after the official presentation, the candidate of Lyut should be approved by the US Senate.

The “military king” will retain military rank, will remain in actual military service and, in addition to the rank of assistant to the president, will have a rank of deputy adviser to the US President for National Security, obeying Stephen Hadley directly and through it to the president. Officially, a new position will be called "Assistant to the President of the United States, deputy adviser to the US President for National Security on the development and implementation of the Iraq and Afghanistan policy."

The candidate for the new post of Bush and his entourage were unsuccessfully searched for the past few months among the famous American military leaders, all of which, according to the American media claimed, refused the president, explaining in private their decision with the complete hopelessness of such an appointment. It is expected that the new assistant to the president will take over all responsibility for the general planning by all military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as for the interdepartmental coordination of this policy in Washington, where between the White House, the Ministry of Defense, the State Department, Special services and other structures regularly arise friction in the spheres of liability and the procedure for working on Iraq and Afghanistan.

Recall that recently in the United States, the discussion around the bill on financing American troops in Iraq and Afghanistan has not ceased. George Bush is not happy with the option approved by the Senate. In general, the Iraqi Question has long become an element of the domestic policy of the United States and Great Britain - countries that headed the military operation to overthrow the regime of Saddam Hussein four years ago.
