General James Jones leading choice for national security advisor<\/a><\/p>\n

CHICAGO, Illinois (CNN), Two sources close to the Obama transition team tell CNN retired Marine Gen. Jim Jones has emerged as President-elect’s leading choice to become national security adviser in the White House.<\/p>\n

The sources said Jones has been given the impression by the President-elect that the job is his if he wants it. But the officials said there are still private discussions underway and no final decision has been made.<\/p>\n

The discussions are focused on precisely how much power Jones will have in the staff job since he is used to being in a command role. Among his many posts, Jones served for several years as the operational commander for NATO.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If the rumors are true, and Jones is the pick, and he takes the job, it’s a better choice than we might have hoped for.. and sure to infuriate the far Left, who would prefer a card carrying pacifist in the role. One caveat: I hope that Obama listens carefully to him, if Jones is the guy.<\/p>\n

One conservative pundit is encouraged<\/a>.<\/p>\n
