the job. The response to her nomination is ridiculous. I think Kerry would make a good secretary of defense as long as his senate seat remains safe. He has been right on many issues and has real military experience. He could also bore some of our enemies to death

I don't really understand this. We have generals in the military. We have generals at the CIA. Now we want more generals in the State Dept? And what does it say to the world when our top diplomat is a war maker?

I like Clark, but not for Secretary of State.
