WASHINGTON (AP) 25Feb07-- Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Sunday it would be a mistake for Congress to micromanage the Iraq war and she encouraged lawmakers to support President Bush's troop increase.
What is micromanagement, anyway? Micromanagement is tactical, overseeing and directing daily operations. Micro means extremely small, as in microscope. Not even the president micromanages the war. “Micromanagement” is a spurious characterization of the current strategic debate.
Does congress have ANY responsibility for management of the war? Congress has the constitutional responsibility to check the power of the executive. They do that by controlling the money. By attempting to block the president’s escalation of the war, congress is expressing the will of the people, as it is supposed to do.
