The other explanation is that the Defense Department is expecting intensifying conflict within CENTCOM's area of responsibility, so that command responsibilities will outstrip the capacity of Abizaid and his staff. CENTCOM has three potential theaters of operation in its area of responsibility. Apart from Iraq, operations are possible against Syria or in Saudi Arabia, should the House of Saud start to totter. CENTCOM is also responsible for Afghanistan, where fighting continues, and Pakistan, where President Pervez Musharraf's survival -- personal and political -- is unclear. We should add that, in the end, U.S. troops will move into northwestern Pakistan to liquidate the remnants of al Qaeda. Lastly, CENTCOM is responsible for Africa, where seriously intensified operations were planned and postponed over the summer due to the situation in Iraq. That "lastly Africa" thing is not getting much news or attention yet. That is likely to change soon. We are presently running Counter-Terror OPS all over that AO with USMC, USAF and US Army Forces.
