>>>The closest that Mr. Hunter has come to real executive experience is chairing the Armed Services Committee from 2002 to 2006. He did a reasonably good job as far as we know, but the job was not high profile. The Democrats had no reason to derail the work of that committee, so he shouldn’t have faced any serious challenges.

Actually, that is not true:

HUNTER INTRODUCES “NUCLEAR SECRETS SAFETY ACT” (Duncan Hunter - 2000)

>>>”The Clinton-Gore Administration has, through fumbling incompetence and short-sighted policies, lost critical defense secrets,” said Hunter. “The recent incident at Los Alamos National Laboratory is indicative of the irresponsibility and disregard this administration has given to protecting America’s national security. This legislation begins to correct the problem.”<<<

That's good research, but the article in question is from the year 2000. If I remember correctly, Mr. Hunter wasn't the chairman of the Armed Services Committee until 2002. During the time that he was the chairman, the situation wasn't the same. The Democrats have been trying to disrupt the war effort, but they haven't had the same incentive to derail the committee.
