SENATOR HAGEL: 'QUIT BULLSHITTING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE'
A Republican senator said he did not believe Saddam had nuclear weapons and warned U.S. officials against "scaring" the American public with predictions that he is about to get them.

"My bottom line is that I don't think he does possess nuclear capability," Sen. Chuck Hagel of Nebraska said of the Iraqi president on CNN. "[T]o scare the American public by saying this guy is a couple of months away from not only possessing nuclear weapons but a ballistic missile to deliver those, that's dangerous stuff here."
