MSNBC Sees no confirmation problems for Negroponte
Edited on Thu Feb-17-05 10:54 PM by lala_rawraw
WASHINGTON - President Bush on Thursday nominated Iraq Ambassador John Negroponte to be the nation's first new national intelligence director.

"John will make sure that those whose duty it is to defend America have the information we need to make the right decisions," Bush said at the White House. "We're going to stop the terrorists before they strike."

Responding, Negroponte called the new job �the most challenging assignment I have undertaken in more than 40 years of government service.� Said Bush, �He understands the power centers in Washington.�

The nomination will have to go through the Senate Intelligence Committee for confirmation. That could be weeks away, a committee spokeswoman said, because Negroponte said he needs to return to Iraq to tie up issues there....

Clearly they have forgotten to mention his other background.
