The much anticipated Senate confirmation hearings for Chuck Hagel, President Obama's choice to become his Secretary of Defense in his term, began this morning with Hagel's former friend John McCain badgering the former Nebraska GOP Senator to give a yes or no answer to the question of whether his opposition to the "surge" in Iraq was the right call.
Meanwhile Florida GOP Senator Marco Rubio announced today that he will not support Hagel, as he told Fox News today.
