Obama Begins Choosing War Cabinet
Names are beginning to be floated for President Elect Obama's security team. His choices appear to reveal general bias for competent, experienced, Military-based individuals.....surprise, surprise. But the names currently in the airwaves include retired Marine general James Jones as National Security Advisor, and Robert Gates is to be maintained as Secretary of Defense. The best aspect of these choices would be that the continutity should help is strategize in Iraq. To be perfectly honest, I'm not sure exactly what this would mean for our country in terms of security and defense. Any thoughts?

Obama is already making it easier for you and I to have access to money! Most people don't realize how much money there is out there. During economic times like this, there is more money to be had than ever. Because of the bailouts and economy, lenders are bending over backwards to bail you out too. Believe it or not, there is people getting tons of cheap money nowdays to start businesses, buy homes, pay off debt, and more. Search for your Bailout
I don't really know much about the War Cabinet, but all of the choices make sense, but anybody with a military career that has experience but doesn't necessarily want it would be a good choice for the seats as far as I know.
From what I know about these two they're generally good picks. Robert Gates took the Secretary of Defense job after Rumsfield left and I don't recall the media attacking him for any reason so I'll assume he's doing a decent job. And James Jones was the commander when America first invaded Iraq. Everything was going fine until the top brass pulled him out and replaced him. Then Iraq went to hell. When I saw him for the first time he came across as an intelligent person. So at the moment they seem to be okay picks.
I think anyone with a military background is a good choice. I think it is a good idea to have someone advise you on something that they know first hand.
