I’m not impressed at all. (Other than Gates)
We need to start digging up all the unpleasant facts about these people and send them to our Congress critters.
Like Hillary saying that she was dodging gunfire — when that did not occur. Forget where it was...........Anyone?
Bosnia, when she and Chelsea visited
Not impressed with General Jones?
Former CMC and EUCOM/NATO Commander?
Whole bio: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_L._Jones
Anyone know if Gen. Jones is a good guy?
Heard too that he has not chosen anyone at CIA and might leave Hadley in place.
So far it seems this is a motley crew with a most motley leader.

This Could Be Interesting [Jonah Goldberg]
From the IHT:
“Yet all three of his choices - Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton as the rival turned secretary of state, General James Jones, the former NATO commander as national security adviser and Robert Gates, the current and future defense secretary - were selected in large part because they have embraced a sweeping shift of resources in the national security arena.
The shift, which would come partly out of the military’s huge budget, would create a greatly expanded corps of diplomats and aid workers that, in the vision of the incoming Obama administration, would be engaged in projects around the world aimed at preventing conflicts and rebuilding failed states.
Me: Well, that civilian national security force has to start somewhere.
