Republican senators successfully taking a stand against defense secretary nominee chuck hagel. They blocked a vote on his nomination amid growing concerns about his views on issues and also they want to get more information about benghazi. Peter doocy is live in washington with more on this story. Peter whats next on this now. Today is supposed to be secretary of defense leon panettas last day at the pentagon. He has to stick around for at least another week. Republicans had a rule that requires the nominee for defense secretary to get 60 votes in the senate for confirmation. Mr. Hagel got only 58. Republicans said they wanted to spend more time to dig into his back ground and now they got it. I hope one democrat will look at chuck hagels record and some of the outrageous statements they made about israel and reconsider have one democrat vote no. If he could find one democrat to vote no the flood gates would open. He wanted to install the confirmation until the white house reveals more information about the benghazi terror attack.

Its unfortunate that this kind of politics intrudes at a time when i am still presiding over a war in afghanistan and i need a secretary of defense who is coordinating with pour allies to make sure our troops are getting the kind of strategy and mission that they deserve. Earlier this week had he pushed a vote on the president s nominee to run the cia john brennan because they want more information about the administrations drone policy. Specifically those rules about drone targeting american citizens. Heather . Peeter doocy. Thanks so much. Now congress is off to recess. Thank you. It is 18 minutes after the hour.
