Taming the Permanent Government

The Bilious Young Fogey identifies the real danger inherent in the politicization of the military. [here]

One of the things I admire most about Bush is his determination to bring the permanent government of non-elected officials [including the military and intelligence agencies] to heel. They're kicking and screaming all the way, and feckless Democrats and the idiot press are giving them aid and comfort, but slowly and surely the primacy of political leadership is being reasserted.

Government is too important to be left to the professionals.
