Senator Cornyn is exactly right. There are so many considerations when choosing a Secretary of Defense. This person's standing on issues, how they conduct themselves and how they view diplomacy and what their views are relating to defense and all views about the US and all the countries around the globe. Alas, Obama doesn't really care what his appointments do or how they are viewed. He is really not concerned with making our country better, he only want what he wants, just like a little bully.
