15. I do not want to bring Hagel's hearing here.

and frankly, Kerry probably saw through this, and is smart enough not to say anything on that.

But I suggest you read the POV of smart and liberal people on this hearing, including people who support Hagel strongly. If he cannot withstand these types of criticism, how can we hope he will say no to senators and military contractors when it comes to cutting the budget? This does not mean the GOP's questions were good. They were not, but he was very unprepared and this is what we should care about, not the fact that McCain was unhappy because Hagel was refusing his leadership and expertise on military questions.

BTW, I was not saying that you hate Kerry, but that, for some reasons, you insist to tell us that other people hate him and therefore he should change.
