OMAHA, Neb. -- Republican Sen. Chuck Hagel, a thorn in his own party's side when it comes to Iraq, announced Monday he would retire from the Senate and not seek any elected office in 2008.
"I said after I was elected in 1996 that 12 years in the Senate would probably be enough, and it is," Hagel said.
