CHICAGO - U.S. President-elect Barack Obama yesterday announced his national security team, nominating former rival Hillary Clinton as secretary of state and asking Defense Secretary Robert Gates to stay on in that role. President Elect Obama, who takes office on Jan. 20, has pledged to be more inclusive and said he has a vision of renewing America's leadership in world affairs after President George W. Bush's eight years in office. Facing a perfect storm of foreign policy crises deepened by last week's Mumbai attacks, incoming U.S. president also named Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano as homeland security secretary, Eric Holder as attorney general, retired Marine Gen. James Jones as national security adviser and long-time adviser Susan Rice as ambassador to the United Nations src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> |
