Anyone who pays attention to CNN or news will basically know this by now, but Gen. Shinseki (the guy who was disregarded by the Bush Administration after he suggested that the Iraq War would require 'several hundred thousand' troops, instead of the smaller estimates propagated by Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz) was just named as President-elect Obama's choice for Veteran's Affairs [new window]. He was Chief of Staff for the Army from 1999-2003 (Clinton having nominated him). In related news, as I realized this morning while watching a History Channel special, it's also the 67th anniversary of Pearl Harbor - hence the announcement today.
