For John, BLUF: CENTAM (pronounced CEN TAM) is Central America in military parlance. Nothing to see here; just move along.
Vice President Joe Biben has "A Plan for Central America".
At last a Foreign Policy Vision for Latin America.
And cheap at $1 Billion only.
On the other hand there is this:
As we were reminded last summer when thousands of unaccompanied children showed up on our southwestern border, the security and prosperity of Central America are inextricably linked with our own.A low-ball on the number and a total lack of transparency on what was happening. Wasn't this going to be the most transparent administration in history?
I am hopeful, but I just exchanged EMails with a retired Colonel who did planning for US Southern Command and he thinks this is not a serious piece, but rather shallow buffoonery. "Vapid" was used.
I greet it with hope, but people who have been there may be more dubious, much more dubious.
Regards — Cliff
