AFRICOM gets a commander

Today President Bush nominated the highest ranking black officer in the Army to head up the new African Command. I think that the AFRICOM is a good idea as well as choosing General Ward to head it up. He's a four-star and he seems to be the right man for the job.

I believe that AFRICOM will become one of the most important overseas command centers for the military in the near future. This is due to the increasing number of Muslims in Africa, the amount of oil now being discovered there, as well as the proximity to the Middle East.
