Joe Biden's CENTAM Project

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.
