Fall Guy Found for Iraq War Debacle


President Bush has chosen Lt. General Douglas Lute, currently the Pentagon's director of operations, to oversee the fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq as the President's "War Czar."

The position, created after those ordinarily responsible for such things took to the hills to distance themselves from the Iraq fiasco, is Lute's opportunity to end his career in total ignominy. General Lute, known for his skills in stenography and copy filing, has been promised he will be able to retain his parking spot at the Pentagon.

It is understood that the general will immediately begin preparing for the handover by practising falling on his sword.
