They were trying to show you hear stories about hagel. Hes lazy. Come on. Theyre trying to demean him. And at the Staff Meetings he agreed with kerry and general dempsey.

Oh, general clappers fault. Well, do you want to fire him . No. So, hagel was easy sacrifice because, a. , a republican, who the republicans dont like. And, then you have and of course he wag weakened by the confirmation hearing. Again, ive known chuck. We worked together in the Reagan Administration. He was number two at va. Not 35 years old.
