Bush Picks a New Fight: The U.S. Army

The Bush White House has totally lost its bearings. Or they have a lot to hide with Blackwater. Either way, the evidence is really mounting up.

The Office of Management and Budget, President Bush's administrative arm, has shot down a service plan to add five active-duty generals who would oversee purchasing and monitor contractor performance.

The boost in brass was a key recommendation from a blue-ribbon panel that last fall criticized the Army for contracting failures that undermined the war effort in Iraq and Afghanistan, wasted U.S. tax dollars, and sparked dozens of procurement fraud investigations.
