2 good Obama appointments
Jake Tapper:
Some have suggested that Jones was critical of our efforts in Iraq, but I do not sense that he wanted to lose that war. I think he probably wanted to see a better effort.
Democratic sources tell ABC News that President-elect Obama appears to be turning to two retired four-stars for his National Security Adviser and his Director of National Intelligence.These would be two good appointments. I hope Obama makes them and the two accept. I have been following Jones career for decades and he is a first rate mind and would be knowledgeable in the position as National Security Adviser.
Marine Gen. James L. Jones (Ret.), the former head of NATO and U.S. forces in Europe, has emerged as the leading candidate to serve as the National Security Adviser for President-elect Obama.
Admiral Dennis C. Blair (Ret.), former Commander-in-Chief of U.S. Pacific Command and a 6th-generation naval officer, has emerged as the top candidate to be President-elect Obama's Director of National Intelligence. He recently met in Chicago with the president-elect.
Neither job has been officially offered or accepted, and the Obama Transition Team would not confirm or deny either man's front-runner status.
