WASHINGTON (OfficialWire) — A Republican senator is threatening to block the nomination of Chuck Hagel to lead the Pentagon unless Defense Secretary Leon Panetta testifies about the deadly assault on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Libya.
Sen. Lindsey Graham said in an interview with Fox News’ “On the Record” Monday night that he would “absolutely” block the nomination until Panetta explains why the military wasn’t called in during the raid.

whooppeeee !!! Finally we have a Senator with some guts !!!! This should have been done when it first occurred.. but naturally, the Mainstream Media wont say anything about their ‘shining star’….. Obama !!! I hope the day comes when they all regret favoring him and their establishments close for lack of listening to them report the news.
Ignoring Benghazi is idiotic. Sen. Graham should not be fighting this battle alone. It is past time this issue be given the attention it needs. This is like; Ignoring a dead elephant in a phone booth…. I am stunned that so few of our leaders do not seem to grasp this!!!!
Nice to see one of our senators stand up and put a stop to what is going on. Just wish more would follow his example.
