The Hill: General in charge of Syria program
The Pentagon said Wednesday the general in charge of the U.S. military's program to train and equip Syrian rebels will not be leaving his job, contrary to reports.
"Maj. Gen. Michael Nagata will continue to lead the U.S. Syria Train and Equip program and there is no effort underway to replace him. Any speculation to the contrary is inaccurate," a statement by U.S. Central Command said.
The statement came after a Bloomberg story on Wednesday said Nagata was leaving the position as the commander of Special Operations Command Central in May or June.
WNU Editor: The article that started the speculation that he (General Nagata) was leaving was from Josh Rogin at Bloomberg .... Syrian Rebels Lose Again as U.S. General Departs (Josh Rogin, Bloomberg). As to what is my take on this "confusion" .... I was not surprised when I read the report that he was leaving .... after-all ..... as I had mentioned in a previous post in September of last year .... what he has to do is literally mission impossible .... A Look At The U.S. General Who Has Been Given A 'Mission Impossible' .
