Senator Freedom Fries Joins Downing St Brigade

Sen Walter Jones (R-NC) formerly asked for all French fries to be called Freedom Fries on Capitol Hill, he has since recanted that remark, but this week, Jones will be intoducing a bi-partisan bill that will demand a date for our troops' pullout from Iraq. Watch this video, courtesy of Crooks and Liars, of an interview of Sen Jones, on ABC's This Week with George Stephanopoulos, and if you can believe this- Jones blames the neo-cons in the administration for mis-managing the war and says his conscience is at the heart of his change AND GET THIS: Jones will co-sponsor legislation about calling for the truth regarding the Downing Street Memo and reasons how the US got involved in Iraq!! Holy crap-- a GOP senator is on the brigade for truth w/the Dems. Notice Jones' peacesign pin in the photo... I just hope that Jones is truly siding w/Conyers b/c he knows that Bush lied to get this war started & that he is not a scared GOP rat in the 9th inning looking to save his own skin as so many GOPers did when Watergate brought Nixon down.
