Sen. Lindsey Graham Threatens to Block Obama Nominees Over Benghazi

Sen. Lindsey Graham has been one of the loudest and most frequent critics of the Obama Administration's handling of the attack on the US Embassy in Benghazi, Libya on Sep. 11.

Four people died in the attack, including Ambassador Christopher Stevens.

Graham has had little recourse other than seeing to it that the issue not fade from the headlines. But now, Graham may have some leverage.

As a member of the Armed Services Committee, Graham is in position to block two of President Obama's top nominees--Chuck Hagel for Secretary of Defense and John Brennan for CIA Director.

Appearing on CBS' Face the Nation on Sunday morning, Graham told host Bob Shieffer that he intends to do just that unless he gets more information from Obama about the attack.
