The new White House Job to Prevent Terrorist From Getting WMDs is perfect for Wes Clark

[Thrill]

Anyone know who Obama is considering for it?



The commission is recommending beefed-up efforts to control nuclear and biological materials around the world and diplomacy, backed by the threat of military action, to stop Iran and North Korea from obtaining nuclear weapons.

Advisers to President-elect Barack Obama told the Globe that he already plans to follow through on another recommendation -- naming a top White House official to coordinate the efforts to prevent terrorists from getting and using such weapons.

1. My sisters best friend uncle in law is one of the few people being considered

but he is a retired general that is done with washington

8. Wow, it's amazing how many personal connections you have to the Obama campaign/admin.

Seriously, your "sisters best friend uncle in law".....more bad punctuation and syntax.

Don't you have anything better to do?

2. Honestly, wouldn't someone with a strong counterterrorism background be a better fit?

Like Richard Clarke, for example? He was an advisor to Team O from the beginning as well, so President-elect Obama
knows and trusts him.

5. Yeah thats true. Does he want back in Govt?

[ClarkUSA]

9. I really like and respect that man, I hope he lands somewhere in the administration

he is too big of a resource not to.........

[ClarkUSA]

12. Me too.

7. I think someone who actually tracked terror networks for the last few decades would be right

for the job. But, not Senator Kerry, we need him investigating a few things for awhile.

10. How about Scott Ritter?

Are there any issues with him? This sounds like a job made for him to me.

11. This is a job for Valerie Plame

After all she was doing this job for the United States under cover until Cheney outed her.
