Antiwar Radio: Representative Walter Jones interviewed about the wars

Rep. Walter Jones, eight term Congressman from North Carolina, discusses why he regrets his initial support for the “unnecessary” Iraq War; the high cost we pay in blood and treasure for continuing the boondoggle in Afghanistan; why a super-debtor nation like the US can’t afford to continue policing the world; how a visit to Walter Reed to see the war wounded can change one’s opinion on US foreign policy; and the small-but-growing Congressional Republican opposition to the Afghanistan War.

MP3 here. (20:03)

Walter Jones was first sworn in to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1995, after serving 10 years as an elected member of the North Carolina General Assembly. Currently serving his 8th term in Congress, Congressman Jones is a member of the House Committees on Armed Services and Financial Services.

Thanks! Walter Jones has really become part of the movement, him, John Duncan (R-Tn.) and Ron Paul are my three favorites in the House with Dr. Paul naturally leading by several miles.

It takes a lot for a Congressman to admit he was wrong. Walter could have kept his opinion pro-war and he would have fit right in with the rest of the Republican party. Instead he changed his mind, went against the flow, but I have to give huge praise to the people of his district for keeping him around after the fact.
