Lindsey Graham actually said...

"This committee has a bipartisan reputation of holding Presidents accountable."

"The next Secretary of Defense is going to have to deal with a world on fire, and I just believe that the testimony of Senator Hagel was not reassuring."

"I cannot in good conscience support this nomination because I think it is sending the worst possible signal to our friends and our enemies alike."

"I think he is in the mainstream of thinking. I think he will do a good job for the country."
