“If one of our troops goes to Syria and is killed, I will introduce articles of impeachment against the president,” Rep. Walter Jones (R-N.C.)


But if he fired the Director of the FBI for investigating his collusion with Russia and then invited Russian spies into the Oval Office to share classified information, that would have been perfectly okay

3. I doubt it.

But one congressman suggests there’s an even more unpleasant destination awaiting the former vice president: the firey blazes of h-e-double-hockey-sticks.

Rep. Walter Jones (R-N.C.) said as much during a Saturday speech, according to a video that Talking Points Memo unearthed. Jones suggested that Cheney’s support for the Iraq war warranted repayment in the hereafter.

4. One Congressman Has The Courage To Admit The True Consequences Of His Vote For The Iraq War

“I did not do what I should have done to read and find out whether Bush was telling us the truth about Saddam being responsible for 9/11 and having weapons of mass destruction,” Jones said during an interview on The Tyler Cralle Show.

“Because I did not do my job then,” Jones continued, “I helped kill 4,000 Americans, and I will go to my grave regretting that.”

I attended a hearing on the Hill when he learned a few things about what was happening in Iraq, and he immediately changed his mind.
