Barack Obama nominates Senator Hillary Clinton as US Secretary of State during a press conference on Monday. National security advisor nominee James Jones and United Nations ambassador nominee Susan Rice look on. Barclay Palmer AC360° Senior Producer Seems everyone is noting that Obama’s national security picks are more hawkish than Obama himself. Liberal blogs are fired up, some worried that Obama will go back on his peace-seeking promises. But that seems to assume Obama is a dove…that his opposition to the Iraq War was ideologically driven. Some excited centrists, however, believe it shows Obama is more pragmatic than ideological… that he opposed the Iraq war because he thought it bad for the country, and he’ll decide when and even whether to get out of Iraq based on what’s good for the country.. and that he’s picking national security talent based on what’s good for the country. This is the man who promised to step UP the war against Al Qaeda in Afghanistan, after all… which, these days, seems to mean inside Pakistan, too. Do you think he’ll go there, as the Bush Administration has been? Just as President Bush, after criticizing “nation-building” when he first ran for president, will Obama, the man who noted he was one of very few in the Senate who opposed the Iraq war, turn out to be a war president - of a different stripe? What do you think…        Less
