Every month leading up to that time, he should have to report on the progress, demonstrate success and how close he is to acheiving the goal. If he doesn not meet the goals, he should be out of a job, period. The generals should be held to the same. I really cannot beleive anyone would argue with that?

If its simply a matter of accountability I'm sure we are all in agreement. I think the military chain of command is probably unsurpassed in the area of accountability and if I'm not mistaken miltary leadership in Iraq has been changed at least once. Accountability in Government........not so much. Nothing new there. My only point was Wars do not have deadlines. And we don't pack it in and give up the fight because we missed budget. Basic principles of business dont meld well with the basic principles of fighting a war.
