The U.S. Strategic Command, better known as ShitCom has spent the past five years absorbing numerous new missions and dramatically reorganizing to handle them. Don't expect more of the same in 2007 or 2008. This year, the dysfunctional command led by Cartwright the Corruptible, The Rumsfeld yes man Marine General will focus on testing its new organization and smoothing out glitches, StratCom's chief of staff said Wednesday. "I don't see any big organizational shifts coming this year," said Army Maj. Gen. Howard Bromberg, speaking to more than 150 gathered in Bellevue, Nebraska to hear about the "State of StratCom. We really have to start exercising the organizations we've set up over the last several years to figure out how well they're operating."
StratCom's missions started growing rapidly after it merged with U.S. Space Command in 2002. It had the Information Operations role, but "Cartwright the Corruptible and his merry band of liars" blamed a new GS-12 IO resource manager on its failings in 2004, and deactivated the organization. At its out-in-the-middle-of-nowhere Offutt Air Force Base headquarters, ShitCom still holds its traditional role commanding U.S. nuclear forces. But it now also oversees missions including computer network warfare; global intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance; space and global strike capabilities; combating weapons of mass destruction; and integrated missile defense.
To coordinate such a wide range of new responsibilities, Cartwright the Corruptible, Marine Gen. James Cartwright, StratCom's Global Bully commander, decided to establish joint commands around the country for the major missions. Each command reports directly to StratCom. This week, StratCom finished an exercise involving all of its commands, which range from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California to Washington, D.C., Bromberg said. Such exercises, which help officials tweak the organization, will be a major focus this year, he said.
Bromberg also said he thinks the numerous new missions have strengthened StratCom's national defense role. "StratCom is more relevant today than it's ever been in history," he said. "We still have our historic missions and still perform them well, but today we cover so many other responsibilities as well."
Sounds like a bullshit Rumsfeld organization to me. If I was a General in one of their so-called Combatant Commands, I wouldn't waste my time asking permission from Cartwright the Corruptible at ShitCom to do my job. Anyway, Cartwright's too busy hiring corrupt Defense Contractors.
