Talk:John Abizaid

message: Cut it short. One or two salient comments should suffice. Maybe a short section or two. Verbatim is always good. Since he seems to be of increasing prominence, this could be made into a section containing quotations. He had this other public appearance, before that committee, as of recently; please add & expand. Dysmorodrepanis 00:28, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Are we charting into new territory with "self-reporting that's likely credible"?  Were the notes reported on in any other media?  I'm also in favor of replacing the speech summary with the most salient points and quotes.  Thanks, GChriss <always listening><c> 19:30, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Civil War

message: Added a section based on Bob Woodward's reporting in his book State of Denial. Never saw Abizaid as a Kool Aid Drinker. Always seemed a straight shooter. Best Wishes. Will314159 16:02, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I spied what looked to be a Frappuccino in hearings.  I've never been opposed to a "trivia" section... Thanks, GChriss <always listening><c> 19:22, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Abizaid & Murtha 

message: I'm wondering if someone can include the date at which Abizaid reached each successive rank?  I think it is a nice addition to the page of military commanders.
:It certainly is.  The trick is finding it online.  When such information is found, it's usually included right away.  So if you find it, be sure and let someone know, because I sure haven't yet. --ScreaminEagle 20:01, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Dates of Rank 

message: Is Fallon to replace Abazaid as is indicated at the bottom of the page?  It seems odd that the article doesn't mention a Navy Admiral going to take his job.
In reference to the above question, Yes Navy Admiral Fallon replaced Army General Abizaid at Central Command. Central Command is a unified command that controls, Army ,Navy, Air Force, Marines & Coast Guard units in its area of responsibility.  There have been Army and Marine Corp generals in the past commanding it. Admiral Fallon is the first Navy officer to command.
It's a unified command. the talk going around at the time was that Bush wanted a naval air commander in the theater  so he could accentuate on his plans to bomb Iran.Godspeed John Glenn! Will 22:34, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Succession 

message: This article displayed General Abizaid's Defense Superior Service Medal, but was deleted because there was no reference. I replaced the medal & added references, but the award was deleted again due to lack of citation. Please advice & assist. Bullmoosebell (talk) 01:44, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: This was my fault, and Doc very graciously left a note on my Talk page. I now have verified the references and restored the material. My apologies for not noticing the added reference.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:27, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
