고승일 김병수 특파원 = 버락 오바마 미국 대통령 당선인은 1일 차기 행정부의 첫 국무장관에 힐러리 클린턴 상원의원을 내정하고, 국방장관에는 로버트 게이츠 현 국방장관을 유임시키는 내용의 외교안보팀 인선결과를 발표했다.
국가안보 보좌관에는 해병대 4성장관 출신의 제임스 존스 전 나토(북대서양조약기구) 사령관, 유엔대사에는 오바마 당선인의 핵심 외교참모인 흑인여성 수전 라이스 전 국무부 아프리카 담당 차관보가 각각 지명됐다.
또 오바마 당선인은 이날 시카고 인수위 사무실에서 가진 기자회견을 통해 법무장관에 처음으로 흑인출신인 에릭 홀더 전 법무부 부장관을 내정했고, 국토안보부장관에는 재닛 나폴리타노 애리조나주 주지사를 지명했다.
힐러리는 상원 인사청문회를 거쳐 공식 임명되면 미 역사상 처음으로 퍼스트레이디 출신 국무장관이라는 새로운 기록을 세우게 되며 매들린 올브라이트, 콘돌리자 라이스에 이어 3번째 여성 국무장관에 오르게 된다.
게이츠 장관은 사상 처음으로 공화당과 민주당 두 정권에 걸쳐 국방분야를 책임지면서 힐러리 국무장관 내정자와 이라크 철군문제 등 핵심 외교.국방현안을 놓고 협력을 해나가야 하는 과제를 맡게 됐다.
오바마 당선인은 이날 회견에서 “오늘 여기에 모인 외교안보팀은 과거 공직에서 행한 봉사와 미래에 대한 계획으로 미뤄볼 때 미국의 힘을 구성하는 요소를 대표하는 인물들”이라며 “미국의 본보기 가운데서도 최고”라고 평가했다.
오바마 당선인이 대권 경쟁자였던 힐러리를 국무장관에 발탁하고, 부시 행정부에서 국방장관을 맡고 있는 게이츠 장관에게 국방장관직을 계속 수행토록 한 것은 선거과정에 내세운 ‘통합의 정치’를 실천에 옮긴 것으로 받아들여진다.
특히 오바마 당선인은 이념적 색채가 짙은 인사 대신 중도성향 인물을 외교안보팀에 대거 발탁함으로써 차기 행정부의 대외정책 기조가 실용노선을 띠게 될 것임을 예고했다.
오바마 당선인이 정파적 색채가 엷은 존스 전 사령관을 백악관 국가안보보좌관에 지명한 것은 거물급인 힐러리와 게이츠 장관 사이에서 불거질 수 있는 의견차이를 조정, 중재하는 역할을 맡기겠다는 뜻으로 풀이되고 있다.
오바마 외교안보팀은 이라크에서의 미군 철수, 아프가니스탄 전쟁 승리, 테러대비책 강구, 북한 및 이란 핵개발 저지, 중동평화 정착, 중국과 러시아 등과의 협력체제 구축, 국제무대에서의 미국의 리더십 재건 등 과제를 안고 출범하게 된다.
특히 최근 인도 뭄바이에서 대규모 폭탄테러가 발생, 미국 안팎에서 테러에 대한 우려의 목소리가 점증하고 있는 만큼 오바마 외교안보팀은 최우선 과제로 위기관리대책에 나설 가능성이 커 보인다.

오바마 당선자는 또 백악관 국가안보회의(NSC) 보좌관에 제임스 존스(Jones) 전 북대서양조약기구(NATO) 사령관, 유엔대사에 수전 라이스(Rice) 전 국무부 아프리카담당 차관보를 각각 지명했다. 이 밖에 법무장관에는 흑인인 에릭 홀더(Holder) 전 법무차관, 국토안보부 장관에는 재닛 나폴리타노(Napolitano) 애리조나주 주지사가 각각 지명됐다.
오바마 당선자가 외교·안보팀 인선을 마무리함에 따라, 향후 한반도 정책에 어떤 영향을 미칠지 관심이 쏠린다. 오바마 당선자와 존스 NSC 보좌관 내정자, 게이츠 국방장관 등은 모두 아프가니스탄 증파 및 재건에 큰 관심을 갖고 있다. 이에 따라 한국측에 아프가니스탄 지원 협조를 요청하거나, 주한미군 병력을 아프가니스탄으로 추가 배치할 가능성도 있는 것으로 알려졌다.
힐러리 클린턴 장관 내정자는 일단 대북 정책과 관련, 현재의 6자회담 기조를 그대로 유지할 것으로 보인다. 한미자유무역협정(FTA)은 당분간 미국의 외교정책 순위에서 뒤로 밀릴 것으로 전망된다.

흑인 여성으로서는 보기 드물게 외교안보 전문가로 성장한 두 사람은 적지 않은 공통점을 갖고 있다. 둘 다 매들린 올브라이트(Albright) 전 국무장관과 인연이 있다. 라이스 장관은 덴버대에서 올브라이트 전 장관의 아버지인 조지프 코벨(Korbel) 교수 강의를 통해 국제정치에 관심을 갖기 시작했고, 라이스 대사 내정자는 부모와 친분이 있는 올브라이트 전 장관의 추천으로 NSC 근무를 거쳐 국무부 차관보에 임명됐다. 또 라이스 장관은 스탠퍼드대에서 교수로 강의를 했고, 라이스 내정자는 같은 학교에서 학사를 마쳤다.
하지만 두 사람의 정치성향은 정반대다. 라이스 장관은 아버지 부시 행정부에서부터 공화당 성향의 정책을 만든 반면, 라이스 대사 내정자는 클린턴 행정부를 거쳐 진보성향의 브루킹스 연구소에서 활동해왔다.
오바마 당선자는 대선 기간에 미국이 국제사회와 협력하도록 리더십을 발휘하겠다는 입장을 여러 차례 밝혀왔는데 라이스 대사 내정자는 유엔에서 오바마의 이 같은 뜻을 구체화하는 역할을 할 것으로 전망된다.
브루킹스 연구소의 스트로브 탈보트(Talbott) 소장은 "라이스는 지적인 면에서, 정책결정과정에서 강인하며 외교관으로 매우 유능하다"고 말했다.

이 밖에, 존스가 우선적으로 반면교사(反面敎師)로 삼을 인물은 바로 현재 국무장관이자, 부시 1기 행정부에서 국가안보보좌관이었던 콘돌리자 라이스(Rice). 라이스는 매파인 부통령 딕 체니(Cheney)와 도널드 럼즈펠드(Rumsfeld) 국방장관, 온건파인 콜린 파월(Powell) 국무장관이 라이벌로 반목(反目)을 거듭할 때 전혀 조정 능력을 발휘하지 못했다.
오바마 당선자 주변에선 존스가 개성이 강한 클린턴 의원과 공화당 성향의 게이츠 장관 사이를 원만하게 중재할 것으로 기대한다. 존스는 상원 군사위원회에서 활동한 클린턴 의원을 개인적으로 잘 알고 있으며 게이츠 국방장관과도 친분이 있다.
존스의 최대 장점은 적(敵)을 만들지 않고 원하는 바를 수행해 내는 성품. 시사주간지 뉴스위크는 "한 번 마음 먹으면 어떤 일이든지 성취해 내지만 항상 부드럽게 일을 진행한다"고 평가했다. 그래서, 존스가 나토(NATO·북대서양조약기구) 사령관이었을 때에 NATO주재 미국대사였던 닉 번스(Burns)는 그를 '군(軍) 외교관'이라고 불렀다.
존스는 2차 세계대전 당시 미 정찰대의 지휘관으로 활약한 해병대 출신 아버지의 영향으로 1967년 해병대 장교로 임관했다. 이어 2007년 전역할 때까지 40년간 '영원한 해병'으로 한 길을 걸었다. 그를 해병대 사령관으로 발탁했던 윌리엄 코언(Cohen) 당시 국방장관은 존스를 "어떤 사안에 대해 전략·전술적인 면을 모두 볼 수 있는 사람"이라고 칭찬했다.
Chicago -- President-elect Barack Obama and Vice President-elect Joe Biden officially announced key members of their national security team today: nominating Senator Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State, selecting Defense Secretary Robert Gates to remain as Secretary of Defense, nominating Eric Holder as Attorney General, nominating Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano as Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, nominating Susan Rice as Ambassador to the United Nations and selecting General Jim Jones, USMC (Ret) as National Security Adviser.
"In this uncertain world, the time has come for a new beginning -- a new dawn of American leadership to overcome the challenges of the 21st century, and to seize the opportunities embedded in those challenges. To succeed, we must pursue a new strategy that skillfully uses, balances, and integrates all elements of American power: our military and diplomacy; our intelligence and law enforcement; our economy and the power of our moral example. The team that we have assembled here today is uniquely suited to do just that. They share my pragmatism about the use of power, and my sense of purpose about America's role as a leader in the world," said President-elect Obama.
"It is an honor to be a part of this team, led by the President-elect -- a team that will see to it that America can lead the world not only by the example of our power, but also by the power of our example. I believe we have assembled a national security team that is poised to recapture the totality of America’s strength," said Vice President-elect Biden.
The national security team members announced today are listed below:
Senator Hillary Clinton, Secretary of State
Over nearly four decades in public service, as an attorney, First Lady, Senator, and presidential candidate, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton has become one of the nation's foremost champions for children and families and advocates for women's rights and human rights. During the Clinton Administration, she transformed the role of First Lady, fighting for universal health care and helping to lead successful bipartisan efforts to improve the adoption and foster care systems, reduce teen pregnancy, and provide health care to millions of children through the Children’s Health Insurance Program. As a representative of the United States, she championed American interests as well as the rights of women and girls in more than eighty countries around the world. In November 2000, Senator Clinton became the first First Lady elected to public office and the first woman elected independently in New York State; she has since won reelection. In the Senate, she has continued to advocate for equal access to health care, education, and economic opportunity for women and girls around the world. As a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Senator Clinton has fought for and secured in law improved health care for members of the National Guard and Reserves and worked to bring our troops home safely and responsibly from Iraq. She also serves as the only Senate member of the Transformation Advisory Group to the Joint Forces Command, working to modernize our military. And Senator Clinton has continued to fight for quality, affordable health care for every American, working to strengthen the Children’s Health Insurance Program and expand the use of health information technology. Most recently, as a groundbreaking candidate for President of the United States, Senator Clinton became the first woman ever to win a presidential primary, receiving more than 18 million votes as an advocate for working families and a voice for millions of Americans who have felt invisible to their government.
Secretary Robert Gates, Secretary of Defense
Dr. Robert M. Gates was sworn in on December 18th, 2006, as the 22nd Secretary of Defense. Before entering his present post, Secretary Gates was the President of Texas A&M University, the nation's seventh largest university.

Governor Janet Napolitano, Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security
Named one of America's Top Five Governors by Time magazine and one of America's top women leaders by Newsweek, Janet Napolitano stands out as a leader in developing innovative solutions to some of our country's greatest challenges. As Governor of Arizona, she's fought for quality schools, affordable healthcare, sensible economic development, a safe homeland, a secure border, and a government that is run efficiently and responsibly. She led the successful effort to create a new grade level in public school by offering voluntary full day kindergarten to every Arizona family. She raised teacher pay, expanded access to health insurance, and saved seniors millions on prescription drugs. Her homeland security background is extensive: as U.S. Attorney for Arizona, Napolitano led the Arizona portion of the domestic terrorism investigation into the Oklahoma City bombing; as Attorney General, she helped write the law to break up human smuggling rings; and as Governor, she implemented the first state homeland security strategy in the nation and opened the first state counter-terrorism center. She is a leader in coordinating federal, state, local and bi-national homeland security efforts, having presided over large-scale disaster preparedness exercises to ensure well-crafted and functional emergency plans. Napolitano was the first governor to call for the National Guard to assist at the U.S. -- Mexico border at federal expense, and is a leading national voice for comprehensive immigration reform. The past chair of the National Governors Association -- the first woman in history to hold this position -- Janet Napolitano was re-elected in 2006 in a landslide victory as Arizona's 21st Governor. Prior to her election as Governor of Arizona, Napolitano served one term as Arizona Attorney General and four years as U.S. Attorney for the District of Arizona.

Remarks of President-elect Barack Obama
Announcement of National Security Team
December 1st, 2008
Chicago, IL
Good morning. Last week, we announced our economic team, which is working as we speak to craft an Economic Recovery Program to create jobs and grow our struggling economy. Today, Vice President-elect Biden and I are pleased to announce our national security team.
The national security challenges we face are just as grave -- and just as urgent -- as our economic crisis. We are fighting two wars. Old conflicts remain unresolved, and newly assertive powers have put strains on the international system. The spread of nuclear weapons raises the peril that the world’s deadliest technology could fall into dangerous hands. Our dependence on foreign oil empowers authoritarian governments and endangers our planet.
America must also be strong at home to be strong abroad. We need to provide education and opportunity for our citizens, so every American can compete with anyone, anywhere. And our economic power must sustain our military strength, our diplomatic leverage, and our global leadership.
The common thread linking these challenges is the fundamental reality that in the 21st century, our destiny is shared with the world's. From our markets to our security; from our public health to our climate -- we must act with the understanding that, now more than ever, we have a stake in what happens across the globe. And as we learned so painfully on 9/11, terror cannot be contained by borders, nor safety provided by oceans alone.
Last week, we were reminded of this threat once again when terrorists took the lives of six American among nearly 200 victims in Mumbai. In the world we seek, there is no place for those who kill innocent civilians to advance hateful extremism. This weekend, I told Prime Minister Singh that Americans stand with the people of India in this dark time. And I am confident that India's great democracy is more resilient than killers who would tear it down.
And so, in this uncertain world, the time has come for a new beginning -- a new dawn of American leadership to overcome the challenges of the 21st century, and to seize the opportunities embedded in those challenges. We will strengthen our capacity to defeat our enemies and support our friends. We will renew old alliances and forge new and enduring partnerships. We will show the world once more that America is relentless in defense of our people, steady in advancing our interests, and committed to the ideals that shine as a beacon to the world: democracy and justice; opportunity and unyielding hope -- because American values are America’s greatest export to the world.
To succeed, we must pursue a new strategy that skillfully uses, balances, and integrates all elements of American power: our military and diplomacy; our intelligence and law enforcement; our economy and the power of our moral example. The team that we have assembled here today is uniquely suited to do just that.
In their past service and plans for the future, these men and women represent all of those elements of American power, and the very best of the American example. They have served in uniform and as diplomats; they have worked as legislators, law enforcement officials, and executives. They share my pragmatism about the use of power, and my sense of purpose about America's role as a leader in the world.
I have known Hillary Clinton as a friend, a colleague, a source of counsel, and as a campaign opponent. She possesses an extraordinary intelligence and toughness, and a remarkable work ethic. I am proud that she will be our next Secretary of State. She is an American of tremendous stature who will have my complete confidence; who knows many of the world's leaders; who will command respect in every capitol; and who will clearly have the ability to advance our interests around the world.
Hillary’s appointment is a sign to friend and foe of the seriousness of my commitment to renew American diplomacy and restore our alliances. There is much to do -- from preventing the spread of nuclear weapons to Iran and North Korea, to seeking a lasting peace between Israel and the Palestinians, to strengthening international institutions. I have no doubt that Hillary Clinton is the right person to lead our State Department, and to work with me in tackling this ambitious foreign policy agenda.
At a time when we face an unprecedented transition amidst two wars, I have asked Robert Gates to continue as Secretary of Defense, and I'm pleased that he's accepted. Two years ago, he took over the Pentagon at a difficult time. He restored accountability. He won the confidence of military commanders, and the trust of our brave men and women in uniform, and their families. He earned the respect of members of Congress on both sides of the aisle for his pragmatism and competence. He knows that we need a sustainable national security strategy -- and that includes a bipartisan consensus at home.
As I said throughout the campaign, I will be giving Secretary Gates and our military a new mission as soon as I take office: responsibly ending the war in Iraq through a successful transition to Iraqi control. We will also ensure that we have the strategy -- and resources -- to succeed against al Qaeda and the Taliban. As Bob said not too long ago, Afghanistan is where the war on terror began, and it is where it must end. And going forward, we will continue to make the investments necessary to strengthen our military and increase our ground forces to defeat the threats of the 21st century.
Eric Holder has the talent and commitment to succeed as Attorney General from his first day on the job, which is even more important in a transition that demands vigilance. He has distinguished himself as a prosecutor, a Judge, and a senior official, and he is deeply familiar with the law enforcement challenges we face– from terrorism to counter-intelligence; from white collar crime to public corruption.
Eric also has the combination of toughness and independence that we need at the Justice Department. Let me be clear: the Attorney General serves the American people. And I have every expectation that Eric will protect our people, uphold the public trust, and adhere to our Constitution.
Janet Napolitano offers the experience and executive skill that we need in the next Secretary of Homeland Security. She has spent her career protecting people -- as a US Attorney, an Attorney General, and as Governor of Arizona. She understands the need for a Department of Homeland Security that has the capacity to help prevent terrorist attacks and respond to catastrophe -- be it manmade or natural.
Janet assumes this critical role having learned the lessons -- some of them painful -- of the last several years, from 9/11 to Katrina. She insists on competence and accountability. She knows firsthand the need to have a partner in Washington that works well with state and local governments. She understands as well as anyone the danger of an unsecure border. And she will be a leader who can reform a sprawling Department while safeguarding our homeland.
Susan Rice will take on the crucial task of serving as Permanent Representative of the United States to the United Nations. Susan has been a close and trusted advisor. As in previous Administrations, the UN Ambassador will serve as a member of my cabinet and integral member of my team. Her background as a scholar, on the National Security Council, and Assistant Secretary of State will serve our nation well at the United Nations.
Susan knows that the global challenges we face demand global institutions that work. She shares my belief that the UN is an indispensable -- and imperfect -- forum. She will carry the message that our commitment to multilateral action must be coupled with a commitment to reform. We need the UN to be more effective as a venue for collective action -- against terror and proliferation; climate change and genocide; poverty and disease.
Finally, I am convinced that General James Jones is uniquely suited to be a strong and skilled National Security Advisor. Generations of Joneses have served heroically on the battlefield -- from the beaches of Tarawa in World War II, to Foxtrot Ridge in Vietnam. Jim's Silver Star is a proud part of that legacy. He will bring to the job the dual experience of serving in uniform and as a diplomat. He has commanded a platoon in battle, served as Supreme Allied Commander in a time of war, and worked on behalf of peace in the Middle East.
Jim is focused on the threats of today and the future. He understands the connection between energy and national security, and has worked on the frontlines of global instability – from Kosovo to northern Iraq to Afghanistan. He will advise me and work effectively to integrate our efforts across the government, so that we are effectively using all elements of American power to defeat unconventional threats and promote our values.
I am confident that this is the team that we need to make a new beginning for American national security. This morning, we met to discuss the situation in Mumbai and some of the challenges that we face in the months and years ahead. In the coming weeks, I will be in close contact with these advisors, who will be working with their counterparts in the Bush Administration to make sure that we are ready to hit the ground running on January 20. Given the range of threats that we face -- and the vulnerability that can be a part of every presidential transition -- I hope that we can proceed swiftly for those national security officials who demand confirmation.
We move forward with the humility that comes with knowing that there are brave men and women protecting us on the front lines. Troops serving their second, third, or fourth tours. Diplomats and intelligence officers in dangerous corners of the world. FBI agents in the field, cops on the beat, prosecutors in our courts, and cargo inspectors at our ports. These selfless Americans whose names are unknown to most of us will form the backbone of our effort. If we serve as well as they do, we will protect our country and promote our values.
And we move forward with respect for America's tradition of a bipartisan national security policy, and a commitment to national unity. When it comes to keeping our nation and our people safe, we are not Republicans and we are not Democrats: we are Americans. There is no monopoly of power or wisdom in either party. Together, as one nation, as one people, we can shape our times instead of being shaped by them. Together, we will meet the challenges of the 21st century not with fear, but with hope.
Now, before I take questions, I'd like to invite my team to say a few words, starting with my friend Hillary Clinton. Thank you.

“의심이 있어서 재조사를 한 것이 아니고 의심하는 이들이 있기
에 한 것이다.” |
趙甲濟 |
김현희 재조사 당시 국정원 간부의 해명: “의심이 있어서 재조사를 한 것이 아니고 의심하는 이들이 있기에 한 것이다.” 국정원 과거사 조사위원회를 구성하고 대한항공 858편 폭파 사건을 재조사하기로 결정하는 데 관여했던 당시 국정원 간부(현재는 퇴직)은 이렇게 말했다. “국정원의 과거사 조사는 누가 시켜서가 아니라 우리 스스로 결정하여 한 것이다. 우리는 한번도 대한항공 사건이 조작되었다고 생각해 본 적이 없지만 조작되었다고 믿는 사람들이 있으므로 재조사를 할 필요가 있다고 생각했다. 의문이 있어서 재조사를 한 것이 아니라 믿지 않는 사람들이 있어서 한 것이다. 조사위원들을 그쪽 인사들로 주로 구성하고, 조작설을 주장하던 사람을 조사관으로 채용한 것도 그들이 스스로 깨닫게 하도록 하기 위함이었다. 김현희씨를 불러 조사를 해보고 싶었지만 본인이 완강히 거부함으로 강제하지 않았다. 우리가 예상했던 대로 조사 결과가 ‘조작 없었음’으로 나오니 조사위원들이 난감해 했다. 발표를 하지 않으려 하기도 했다. 그때마다 나는 ‘이건 落張不入(낙장불입. 화투판에 한번 내어놓은 패는 물리지 못한다는 뜻)’이라면서 발표를 하도록 밀어붙였다. 국정원이 결론을 낸 것을 가지고 진실화해위원회가 또 다시 조사하는 것은 유감스럽다. 다른 결론이 나올 수 없는데도 일부 유족들이 신청을 하니 받아준 것이다. 법에 그렇게 할 수 있도록 되어 있으니 우리로선 말릴 수가 없었다. MBC가 김현희씨 집을 방송에서 노출시킨 것은 잘못 된 것이다. 국정원이 집 주소를 알려준 것이 아니고 방송사가 찾아낸 것이다. 한국의 언론과 정치인들이 보호받아야 할 사람을 보호해주지 않고 자신들의 목적을 위해 이용하는 것이 개탄스럽다.” |
