Obama Announces Jones' Departure as National Security Adviser
« on: October 08, 2010, 02:38:29 PM »



President Obama announced Friday that Gen. James Jones will resign as national security later this month and be replaced by Tom Donilon, the deputy national security adviser.

Obama hailed Jones, a lifelong military man before his White House post, as a "dedicated public servant and a fried to me."

Jones described his tenure as a "privilege" and said his achievements wouldn't have been possible without Donilon, a workhouse figure in the White House who brings to the job a long background of Democratic politics and diplomacy.

Both Jones and Donilon were in the White House Rose Garden when Obama announced the change.

Jones, whose resignation was not unexpected, becomes the latest high-profile official to leave the administration following Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel's departure last week.

Can't say I really know much about Jones, but the fact that various knowledgeabe commentators have referred to his as 'the consumate insider' is PC-speak for someone who is intensely political and while they may or may not be highly talented professionally, their current station is due much more to skill at playing partisan politics than anything else.
