Non

A prominent lawmaker who prompted cafeterias in the US Congress to change the name of their french fries to "freedom fries" in anger over France's opposition to the Iraq war, has now turned against the conflict and wants a firm schedule on the withdrawal of US troops.

Representative Walter Jones, a North Carolina Republican, has written more than 1,300 letters of condolence to the families of soldiers killed in Iraq and will introduce legislation this week calling for a firm timetable on the withdrawal of US troops, ABC's "This Week" said Sunday.

"Quand je regarde le nombre d'hommes et les femmes qui ont été tuées -- il est presque 1.700 maintenant, en plus près de de 12.000 ont été sévèrement blessés -- et j'estime juste que la raison d'entrer pour les armes de la destruction de masse, la capacité des Irakiens de faire une arme nucléaire, qui est toute montré qu'elle n'était jamais là. Et mes maux de coeur, tout à fait franchement."*


*"When I look at the number of men and women who have been killed -- it's almost 1,700 now, in addition to close to 12,000 have been severely wounded -- and I just feel that the reason of going in for weapons of mass destruction, the ability of the Iraqis to make a nuclear weapon, that's all been proven that it was never there. And my heart aches, quite frankly."

Merci, Representatif Jones. Vous avez écrit plus de lettres de condoléance que l'administration de Bush entière combinée. Mais, Il sûr vous a pris assez longtemps pour changer d'avis.
