RAW STORY
Republican Rep. Walter Jones of North Carolina said Saturday that former Vice President Dick Cheney would likely end up in hell because of his role in the Iraq war.
At a Young Americans for Liberty conference, Jones said it was
impossible under current law to prosecute a president for intentionally
manipulating intelligence reports to make the case for war. He explained
he co-authored a bill to change the law, but the legislation was killed
in committee by his Republican colleague Lamar Smith of Texas.
“I have no malice towards Lamar, I have respect for him,” Jones
remarked. “But that again is the problem. Congress will not hold anyone
to blame. Lyndon Johnson’s probably rotting in hell right now because of
the Vietnam War, and he probably needs to move over for Dick Cheney.”
Jones
initially voted in favor of the Iraq war in 2002. He infamous called
for “French fries” to be renamed “freedom fries” after France refused to
support the U.S. invasion of the country.
The conservative Christian turned against the war after witnessing
American causalities and once it became clear Iraq was not building any
weapons of mass destruction....................
