Sen. Lindsey Graham vows to block nominations unless White House more forthcoming about the Benghazi

[EmperorScorpious]

[quote]Washington (CNN) – President Barack Obama's nominees for secretary of defense and CIA director could be held up by Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham unless the White House provides more information about its response to September's attack on an American diplomatic post in Libya.

The South Carolina lawmaker made the threat Sunday on CBS, using the phrase "no confirmation without information" in vowing to put a hold on the nominations of both John Brennan and Chuck Hagel unless the Obama administration provides more information about the Benghazi attack.

"I don't think we should allow Brennan to go forward with the CIA directorship, Hagel to be confirmed for secretary of defense, until the White House gives us an accounting," Graham said. "Did the president ever pick up the phone and call anyone from the Libyan government to help these folks? What did the president do?"[/quote]

Who cares to be honest with you? Stop bullshitting and playing around with the dumb issues that have no importance, and how about you deal with the more promominet issues? I swear they have nothing better to do.
