Jones brings hefty resume to security post

Sent from Express News
WASHINGTON - President-elect Barack Obama's pick to be national security adviser is a Vietnam war veteran who rose to become a Marine four-star general and NATO commander, but is at least as well known for his diplomatic skills.

Gen. James L. Jones advised both Obama and Republican presidential candidate John McCain during the campaign on national security issues. Last year he led a commission that advised Congress on progress in training Iraqi security forces.
