Salon.com Politics: "Even Rep. Walter Jones, R-N.C., who in 2003 was so much in favor of the administration's plans that he coined the term 'freedom fries' to retaliate against France for opposing the invasion, reversed his position this weekend, saying, 'I voted for the resolution to commit the troops, [but] I feel that we've done about as much as we can do.' Jones also acknowledged that 'primarily the neoconservatives' duped the country into supporting the war: '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.'"
