I agree with Sen. Cornyn. Sen. Hagel is not a good choice for Secretary of Defense. His comments in the past that Israel should negotiate with Palestinians has placed him out of the mainstream when it comes to foreign policy. Sen. Hagel was not one of my favorites when he served in the Senate. He is definitely not my choice for Secretary of Defense. President Obama has placed forward a nominee that is almost an "in your face" appointee. I think it is a mistake and the President could make a much better choice.
