US CENTCOM Annual Posture Statement Released

I just received an email from United States Central Command advising me of an important addition to their website.


It reads, in part:

We just added this to the CENTCOM website. General John P. Abizaid, commander, United States Central Command, puts out an annual statement on the posture of the United States Central Command. This is the 2006 posture statement that discusses various topics on the Global War on Terrorism. Some of the topics include “Nature of the Enemy”, “Situation Overview in Iraq, Afghanistan and the Horn of Africa”, “Other Regional Partnerships” and “Iran and Syria.”

Read it on the CENTCOM website here:

It may be of value in helping us understand what the United States is doing with respect to its military activities in the war on terrorism. Have a look-see. You can also go to their home page by clicking on their logo in my sidebar at right.

You may also access the Canadian Forces' site by clicking on their logo or on the slideshow of the Canadian Forces, also on the sidebar. Remember, we stand united with our American brothers and sisters in Afghanistan against the enemies of freedom, democracy and the rule of law. We stand on guard together, along with the rest of the Coalition Forces, for the Free World.

Update: 17 March 2006: for some reason, the document is no longer available. In fact, the site is now unavailable as of 6:17 AST. Wonder what happened? This is weird. Could be a temporary blackout for military purposes. Will check their site later. I'm sure it's either technical in nature or a direct operational order borne of requirement for security...

Canada and America: United against the enemies of the Free World.

Let's roll!
