President’s ‘Enforcer’

Jones will play the role as Obama’s “enforcer” to impose discipline and keep everyone working in tandem, said Zbigniew Brzezinski, who filled the national security adviser’s post under President Jimmy Carter. Vice President Joe Biden will also help prevent internal conflicts, Brzezinski said in an interview.

“I’m optimistic because of the strength concentrated at the White House,” Brzezinski said. “Otherwise there was a risk of a dispersal of strategy. But I think with Biden and Jones working together and dealing with the president on a daily basis, the chances of asserting control from the national security adviser’s office, which is the key office, are pretty good.”
