Hey, It's Just Been 6 Years

Nearly 6 years after the 9/11 attacks, the Bush Assministration hasn't figured out how to get U.S. agencies to cooperate on counterterrorism operations overseas. The AP is reporting that a just released GAO study cited several examples of U.S. agencies not cooperating, or even communicating, during overseas missions (obviously, they're practitioners of the Dead Eye Dick Cheney fillosofee of gummint "management"). Among the examples cited by GAO: no agency is in charge of getting everyone to work together. Maybe the Klueless Kops of the Bush Assministration will figure things out in another 6 years (by then it will be into the second term of the next, Democratic administration).

Incompetence trumps experience every time.
