WSJ: Obama Strategy Assessed in New Cabinet Choices

[....] Other members of the administration introduced Monday were Defense Secretary Robert Gates, who will remain in his post; Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano, nominated to head the Department of Homeland Security; former Justice Department official Eric Holder, nominated for attorney general; and campaign adviser Susan Rice, who was tapped as ambassador to the United Nations.
The new cabinet includes several officials, notably Sen. Clinton and Mr. Gates, who have criticized some of Mr. Obama's positions. Mr. Gates has argued against a firm timetable for a withdrawal from Iraq, while Sen. Clinton questioned Mr. Obama's stated willingness to negotiate with Iran.
