Defense expert: Obama's security team packed with "cronies" and "people who have never really run anything"

While on CBS Face the Nation this morning, journalist and defense expert and Pulitzer Prize recipient Tom Ricks excoriated the Obama national security team.

"My larger concern about the Obama administration," Ricks told host Bob Schieffer, "is that they've gone from national security professionals like Bob Gates or Jim Jones at the beginning of his administration to basically pals of the president--cronies from the senate, people who have never really run anything."
