The War Czar has his office

And an acronym therewith, in a new executive order by the White House --

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America ... it is hereby ordered as follows:

Section 1. Establishment. There is established within the Department of State, in accordance with section 3161 of title 5, United States Code, a temporary organization to be known as the Iraq Transition Assistance Office (ITAO).


The new office is apparently a successor organization to Iraq Reconstruction Management Office (IRMO), indicating that the White House has settled on a buzzword to describe the job in Iraq -- from reconstruction, we move to transition. Like after Communism.
