All-star lineup

The Senate Foreign Relations Committee is really very friendly to Democrats, and it shows. The first four questioners are, in order, Biden, Lugar, Dodd, and Hagel. Two anti-war Republicans and two presidential candidates. Their questions are tough, and we've still got Kerry, Feingold, Boxer, Obama, and Webb (and for that matter Coleman and Voinovich) to look forward to.

Update: Hagel's giving a speech. It's a good, if somewhat disjointed rant, but so far there hasn't been a single question.
