In Ford Motor, when an MBA did not understand how the work gets done, then he hires subordinates. To become productive again (after we kicked out Henry Ford by not buying his products), Ford Motor cut their management from 48 layers down to five.
"Mission Accomplished" from the Sec of Defense and Joint Chiefs is then run by Central Command and then commanders in Iraq and Afghanistan. Today, George Jr added more management layers. From ABC News of 15 May 2007:

Bush Taps New 'War Czar'
In the newly created position of assistant to the president and deputy national security adviser for Iraq and Afghanistan policy and implementation, Lute would have the power to direct the Pentagon, State Department and other agencies involved in the two conflicts.
Lute would report directly to the president and to National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley.
Filling the position had become a priority for the White House, after a handful of retired generals told the White House they did not want the job. Among them, retired Marine Corps four-star Gen. Jack Sheehan, who proved an embarrassment to the White House after he wrote an op-ed piece in the Washington Post saying there were "huge shortcomings" in the White House view of the strategy in Iraq.

Of course, anyone without contempt for the troops agrees with so many generals who blame George Jr (Rumsfeld, Cheney, etc) for the destruction of the US military. That is so obvious to those who also saw the stupidity of "Mission Accomplished" on and after 2003.

"What I found in discussions with current and former members of this administration," wrote Sheehan, "is that there is no agreed upon strategic view of the Iraq problem or the region."

At this point, every Cellar dweller should be fully cognizant of what Generals such as Sheehan have been saying for years:
no strategic objective.
Those who use a political agenda to proclaim support for the troops - they must deny reality. One will even claim he never associated 11 September with "Mission Accomplished" even after those above quotes are his. But then Urbane Guerrilla represents those who have so much contempt for the American soldier - and the world.
No strategic objective. More layers of bureaucracy. This man still has another 1.5 years to screw up America. Notice how much he did only in the first 1.5 years. He can still do much damage so as to protect his legacy at the expense of all citizens in the world. How many hundred thousand death Iraqis are on his hands? Meanwhile TheMercenary now posts this is good because so few died.
