NEW NATIONAL SECURITY TEAM MEMBERS FOR OUR NATION...........

Within the past hour President Obama, nominated four new members to the country's National Security Team; all of having having served with distinction in other roles for more than the past decade.  With Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, stepping down on June 30, the President has nominated Leon Panetta, currently the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, to succeed Secretary Gates at the Pentagon.  To replace Director Panetta, at the C.I.A., General David Petreaus, Chief Commander in Afghanistan, has been nominated.  General Jim Allen, presently leading Central Command; will go to Afghanistan to succeed General Petreaus as Commander.  And veteran four time Ambassador, Ryan Crocker, curently Dean at the George H. W. Bush Presidential Library, at Texas A & M University, will be reactivated for the second time in a decade, as American Ambassador to Afghanistan.  All 4 nominees, vastly experienced in foreign affairs and international relations, thus outstanding choices for the Obama Administration's National Security Team, as we continue to monitor and maintain the safety and security of the United States at home, and abroad...........Fr.  Troy
