Hagel Acquiesces To Block Debate On Non-binding Iraq Resolution

Hagel is a co-sponsor of the non-binding, bipartisan resolution – but he joined every other
GOP senator in voting to avoid debate.

Interestingly, Hagel was still talking last Friday about the absolute need for the debate. That
was the same Friday when the Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky confidently
guaranteed that all of the Republican flock would be in the fold, voting against taking up the
resolution.
