CHICAGO - Barack Obama promised "a new dawn of American leadership" in a troubled world, announcing a strong-willed national security team headed by Hillary Rodham Clinton, who fought him long and bitterly for the presidency, and Robert Gates, the man who has been running two wars for George W. Bush.
The president-elect on Monday said he hadn't changed his mind about bringing most U.S. combat troops home from Iraq within 16 months but added a cautionary note - he'll consult with his military commanders first.
