Why Fire Shinseki?

The Washington Times says the Obama transition team was told about 3 audits showing the Veterans Administration misreported wait times for treating veterans.
But let's look at why Eric Shinseki should be fired. He did not adequately perform his duties as the chief operating officer. He continued to let his organization operate in a a deficient manner without any significant effort to make appropriate corrections.
Let's take a private Corporation for comparison. The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) reports to the Board of Directors. The Board has given the CEO responsibility to operate a profitable, efficient company. To do that, the Board has also given the CEO various assets and controls. Two of these are money and opportunity to choose appropriate employees. If in subsequent operation the CEO, determines that he has insufficient assets, such as not enough money, or some kind of limitation on employees imposed by the Board, he has an obligation to go back to the Board to obtain what he needs to accomplish his major objectives. If he does not, he is a bust and must be relieved immediately by the Board and replaced with someone of greater capabilities.
In the case of Shinseki, he inherited a VA operation, which was continually expanding, because of injuries from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. He obviously needed to expand the facilities in order to give appropriate care to wounded veterans. But, he did nothing. He did not ask Congress for more money to build more facilities or hire more people, nor did he ask Congress for power to fire inapt people in his organization. He is an obvious failure and must be fired himself Shinseki.
