WASHINGTON, March 17 (Reuters) - Senator John McCain still has questions about the Obama administration's choice of veteran diplomat Chris Hill to be U.S. ambassador to Iraq after meeting with him on Tuesday, McCain's office said.

The Senate Foreign Relations Committee plans on March 25 to hold a hearing on Hill's nomination, amid suggestions by some Republican senators that he lacks sufficient Middle East experience and had mismanaged delicate negotiations with North Korea.

"Senator McCain and Ambassador Hill had a productive meeting but questions still remain," said McCain's spokeswoman, Brooke Buchanan, who did not describe the questions.

If it isn’t apparent to everyone, it soon will be: Nobody but has-beens, never-wases, and people with somewhat checkered pasts will agree to work for this ramshackle Administration.

Juan McCain so slow and clueless. We could get nuked and he would still be wondering about it. He needs to retire ASAP.

We really need to stop trotting McCain out as if he were a representative of our party.

Every time he opens his mouth it sounds like sour grapes. Also reminds people why they voted against him. It’s clear that McCain still thinks he’s relevant. Sure increases my respect for Bob Dole.
