HOLD WHO ACCOUNTABLE? What the hell is Lindsey Graham doing? On Meet the Press the other day, he tried to dump Iraq on the shoulders of the generals there, saying "Well, I hope we will hold the generals accountable for their work product. I respect General Casey and Abizaid, but the strategy they've come up with for the last two years has not worked." Does Graham, a former military judge, not understand how civilian control of the armed forces functions? If Bush is allowing two years of incompetent governance of the Iraq War, that's Bush's fault. There's no one to hold accountable but the Commander in Chief. That's why they call him that. --Ezra Klein
