The Demotion of General Ward?

General Kip Ward the current head of Africom is to be demoted and have his retirement benefits reduced according to Al Jazeera.

He allegedly spent department of defense funds for personal use and used military personnel to drive his wife around on personal errands.  The secretary of defense Leon Panetta is still investigating these allegations.

It is very possible that he was getting to close to his ecowas counterparts and the department of defense wants to replace him with somebody who will be less friendly to Africans.  If that is the case, they are shooting themselves in the foot again as no self-respecting West African "Mercedes General" will follow a "toubab" in this day and age (unless the price is right).

Goes to show you, you can't collaborate with the devil and not get burned.
