Rising MSM awareness of AFRICOM

ARTICLE: 'The Next Battlefront: The United States is planning a new strategic command to take the global War on Terror to the Horn of Africa,' By Scott Johnson, Newsweek International

Pretty good summarizing piece that I'll cite primarily as an example of rising MSM awareness of AFRICOM.

Also note the local fear, which is why I'd go radical on structure and make a retired 4-star the "commander."

With the new announcement regarding the formation of an African Command, it struck me that you were right on target with your recommendation. The difference is that you made your call two years ahead of the Pentagon moguls. I may not agree 100% with all of the solutions you presented in "The Pentagon's New Map", but you definitely can present a clear picture of the current world situation.
