WASHINGTON -- Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) plans to block two of President Barack Obama's top national security nominees until he gets answers from the White House on the terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya.

Speaking on CBS's "Face the Nation" on Sunday, Graham said he was not going to let Chuck Hagel go forward as Secretary of Defense nor let John Brennan move ahead as CIA director unless he gets more information on the president's involvement in the response to the consulate attack that resulted in the killing of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three others.

"I don’t think we should allow Brennan to go forward for the CIA directorship, Hagel to be confirmed to Secretary of Defense until the White House gives us an accounting," said Graham. "Did the president ever pick up the phone and call anyone in the Libyan government to help these folks? What did the president do?"

It's all about trying to discredit President Obama.

 

[whitehall]

Sounds like Graham is on top of the issue unlike vintage traitors like Reid and Kerry.

Lindsey Graham is a pathetic little creature.

Meanwhile....Grahams own state, SC, has 50% of it's schools and roads crumbling, the 4th highest rate of violent crime, a huge unfunded medicaid problem, a drug problem and has many other problems that would require a new thread for each.

But, our Senator is....obsessed with Benghazi, like the rest of the GOP.

Graham his indeed a disgusting creature.

What was President Obama supposed to do - grab a gun and hop on Air Force One to Benghazi?

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to bucs90 again

Even McCain said blocking cabinet appointments is extreme.

 

[candycorn]

Absolutely perfect.

Obama paints the GOP as the party of "no" and they go out of their way to fit right into it.

Yeah right, Graham might be right about Hagel but his ....schools are crumbling. What a terrific argument. Is there a state in the greatest Country on the face of the earth that doesn't have a drug problem? Barry Hussein's adopted home turf has the most restrictive gun laws and the highest gun violence.

 

[Mr. H.]

At the Senate hearing, Panetta testified that he and Dempsey were meeting with Obama when they first learned of the Libya assault. He said the president told them to deploy forces as quickly as possible.

Again, how many times was the order to "stand down" given?

Oh no worries! Hagel has this locked!

The Senate Armed Services Committee could vote as early as Thursday on the nomination and refer it to the full Senate. Democrats hold a 14-12 edge on the panel.

Gay Bashing Democrats....The Democrats officially come out of the closet.
