I think you are referring to William Ward who was releived of AFRICOM in March for lavish spending. Ham succeeded him and has done a fine job in a politically charged environment of growing Islamic agitation pitted against Obama’s insistence that all is right in the Arab Spring.
Good grief - I did get that wrong - I had no idea that Ward was already replaced by someone that is trying to do the right thing...which would be the opposite of what our PINO wants.
