President Obama announced Friday that Gen. James
Jones will resign as national security later this month
and be replaced by Tom Donilon, the deputy national
security adviser.
--------------------------------------

K.T. McFarland, who served in national security posts
in the Nixon, Ford and Reagan administrations, told
Fox News that there could be more to Jones' departure
than meets the eye. It comes just days after Bob
Woodward published a book revealing deep divisions
among Obama's national security team.
----------------------

In Woodward's book, "Obama's Wars," Defense
Secretary Robert Gates is quoted as saying Donilon
replacing Jones "would be a disaster."
-------------------------------

Donilon, who was widely considered the frontrunner
to replace Emanuel, will now get a chance to leave
a bigger mark on Obama's foreign policy. He will not
need Senate confirmation because the position is
considered a White House job.

Tom Donilon will replace Gen. Jones in two weeks.
He was a registered lobbyist from 1999 through 2005,
and his sole client was Fannie Mae.

Mr. Donilon began as young political operative for
President Jimmy Carter and later was chief
of staff for Secretary of State Warren Christopher
in the Clinton administration.

"I will not deny the fact that there may be internal
political dynamics, including the forthcoming
midterm American elections. If the Americans
have definite information about terrorists and
al-Qaida people, we should be provided [with]
that and we could go after them ourselves,"
Hasan said.

"Such reports are a mixture of frustrations,
ineptitude and lack of appreciation of ground
realities. Any attempt to infringe the
sovereignty of Pakistan would not bring about
stability in Afghanistan, which is presumably
the primary objective of the American and Nato
forces."

Dismissing claims of a developed, co-ordinated plot
aimed at Britain, France and Germany, European
intelligence officials also pointed the finger at the
US, and specifically at the White House.
"To stitch together [the terror plot claims] in a
seamless narrative is nonsensical,"
said one well-placed official.
