Graham to vote no

In an Armed Services Committee meeting, Senator Lindsey Graham announced he’ll vote no on President Obama’s nomination of Chuck Hagel as the next defense secretary. Graham, the Republican from Oconee, says he is unnerved by what he views as Hagel’s inability to articulate what the U-S policy should be toward Iran. Graham told his committee colleagues that he’s worried what’s happening in Syria will lead to bad consequences for Jordan and he predicts that U-S military budget cuts will lead to the collapse of Afghanistan.
