tHE rEPUBLICANS PUT hAGEL ON TRIAL, NOT A HEARING.

The New York Times headlines on the Hagel hearing were: Hagel Has Rough Outing Before Ex-Colleagues

BBC ran an article calling it a 'testy' hearing.  The whole world must be laughing at the inappropriate handling by his 'fellow' Republicans.  Obviously, the chairperson had not done his homework or tried to find anything out about Chuck Hagel. They further said he had been 'grilled; at the senate hearing.  " Senator Jim Inhofe, the top Republican on the panel, who said shortly after the hearing began: "Senator Hagel's record is deeply troubling and out of the mainstream.""  Inhofe asked he had been wounded in Viet Nam.  This was a surprising question which suggested to me that he had not done his homework.  If Inhofe had asked one of his aides to check Wikipedia, he would have known that Mr. Hagel has two purple hears.

It is shameful also to see how little the committee could stay on relevant issues.  It is clear they do not know there job.  Senator McLain shows how small a man he has become.  Those of us who did not vote for him to be president can only feel confirmed in their decision.
