It's worse than that, apparently: the top few candidates for Secretary of Defense have turned the job down.
Who can blame them? The Democrats were swept into power in 2006 based on opposition to the Iraq War; being the Secretary of Defense under a Democrat President is a thankless job, much like say the Secretary of Health and Human Services is under a GOP President.
