Bush's war worries
By MASSIMO CALABRESI


Monday, June 20, 2005; Posted: 12:48 p.m. EDT (16:48 GMT)
Of all the people to turn on George Bush's war in Iraq, Representative Walter Jones was among the least likely.



A conservative Republican whose North Carolina district includes the massive Marine Corps base Camp Lejeune, Jones led the charge to convert French fries into "freedom fries" in Capitol Hill cafeterias after France refused to support the war.

But last week Jones co-sponsored legislation calling on Bush to declare victory and start bringing the troops home by October 2006. Jones, who has written more than 1,300 letters to families of killed service members, says, "What else is there left for America to do? I think the American people are going to see this resolution as worthy."

....

The Administration has also been put on the defensive by the so-called Downing Street memo, a set of minutes of a July 2002 meeting held by British Prime Minister Tony Blair.

In it, then British intelligence chief Sir Richard Dearlove asserted that during a recent visit to Washington he found that "military action was now seen as inevitable" and that "the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy."
