kucinich and walter jones would have passed their resolution in the house defunding the libyan war if boehner had not run in a substitute. ask gaddafi if we're at war with him. we've attacked and killed his troops. the united states is -- ask those guys over there -- >> we killed his daughter. >> we lied about going in. we said it was to protect -- >> during the reagan years. >> to protect civilians. >> u.s. >> you killed one. >> okay. okay, you've heard from eleanor and pat. speaker think we are at war wit >> we're spending $10 million a day, part of an effort to bomb bombs on gaddafi's compound. it doesn't pass a straight face test in my view that we're in the midst of hostilities. >> you agree with the speaker? >> yes. i think we are. i can understand everybody can play legal games with the words here, but when the president goes public and says we're going to get gaddafi out and we're going to really be involved in this war, on whatever terms, we're involved in hostilities. but having said that, it's a political issue basically. but why do they play games like this? i just don't u

. >> the big story of the time back to your old friend walter jones, congressman walter jones. >> there's so much news today you can't shake a stick at it. >> we have breaking jones. >> walter has been, you know -- michael steele, walter jones has been an anti-war republican for some time and it's not like he's in san francisco. i mean his district -- he's got camp lejeune. what he's found is a lot of his constituents are in support of the fact that we're too extended. we need to bring our troops home. >> that's the national sentiment. even in groups of the republican party, you're hearing more talk about we've done a lot, let's bring them back. of course, i got in a lot of trouble for saying it a year ago. >> you said it a year ago. we've been saying it for a couple of years as well. what we've found is the american people have caught up. they want our troops to come home and it looks like congress is starting to catch up. >> we have that coming up, but first there is breaking news out of libya this morning. explosions reportedly shaking the area around the compounds of moammar. f it's t

walter jones, a republican from north carolina, is one of the few who acknowledges what war is, and he has written 10,000 personal letters of condolence to people who have lost loved ones in these wars. the others just kind of wrap themselves in a black, making this up phony baloney talk about how they love the troops come -- in the flag, make this phony baloney talk about how they of the trips, and don't give a damn about how the troops come home and don't have jobs. >> here is all i can do. let's try to figure out who, how, how this went down, how we make sure it does not happen again. >> that is congressman a winner with jonathan karl of abc news -- congressman weiner with jonathan karl abc news. was the congressman's crotch or wasn't it? should we care? >> we probably shouldn't care pri is our great diversion. the woman who received it says she doesn't know him. he has handled this ridiculously come up at the same time, there was an indictment of john and address on campaign finance abuse stemming from -- is a fair -- indictment of john edwards on campaign finance abuse stemming fr

>> republican congressman walter jones of north carolina, and tha -- a member of a bipartisan group of lawmakers suing the president, saying that he violated the war powers resolution. does that have any merit, nina? >> note, to read it is to understand that it is a silly suit. it is kabuki, all the people care about this very much. republicans, who used to think that the war powers resolution was unconstitutional -- that is what john boehner said before -- are now harkening to eight. the democrats are a little more consistent. every president skirts and the war powers act. there is the way to do it, and it is to cut off the funds. >> i don't see that happening, but there is consistency on the part of dennis kucinich and walter johns here, that they took that position under the previous administration. what i find rather disturbing or rather fascinating is to watch these people readjust, whether it is john boehner becoming a boarding and supporter of the war powers act or the democrats -- born-again a supporter of the war powers act or the democrats who railed about the need for the wa

in fact, walter jones, congressman from north carolina. which is where camp lejeune is, a strong antiwar vote. you can throw in democrats who have been out there saying we've got to get out of afghanistan. pointing to the cost. $8 billion a month or something. how can he justify that. and hamid karzai is unsettling the country. why is america there. >> bret: go ahead, fred. >> they want to get out of afghanistan, withdrawal as many troops as possible in july when the president is going to withdrawal some. the recommendation he will get from general petraeus, though, will be fewer than 5,000 troops. any more than that as charles says you jeopardize ultimate success that has been laid out by secretary gates. you knock out the safe havens hs there and turn back attack by taliban and in 2013 when you are supposed to bring out all the troops or most of them that'll the way you do it. not by pulling them all out now. the struggle here unanimously between the pentagon believes, secretary gates leading the generals, mike mullen, petraeus and all o

you just heard congressman walter jones from north carolina. this is common sense. several republicans in this body oppose this war. even some of the republicans running for president have expressed concern about continuing the military occupation much longer. it's simply not acceptable to ask for more patience and more time for this strategy to work. you mean 10 years isn't enough? how many families were missing a seat at the table on father's day this past weekend because we kept giving this dreadful policy one more chance? afghanistan casualties are on the rise, mr. speaker. with 2011 on pace to be the deadliest year yet and 43% of fatalities having occurred since the surge began a year and a half ago. how many more people have to die, mr. speaker? both u.s. service members and afghan citizens before we say enough? how many more lives have to be destroyed, how many more young americans have to leave limbs behind in afghanistan, how many more have to come home ravaged by posttraumatic stress, and how many more billions in taxpayer money do we have to waste for the

jones: mr. speaker, thank you very much. monday i had the honor and the humbling experience of viss thing walter reed hospital. i met three -- visiting walter reed hospital. i met three young men that all three lost both legs above the knees. actually one of them i engaged about afghanistan and he with his wife there with him believes we have done all we can do. certainly he has done more than that. he's given his legs for this country. that leaves me to wanting to read just a paragraph of a editorial by eugene robertson that was in the north carolina papers. and the title of his column is afghan strategy, let's go. afghan strategy, let's go. and i read the last paragraph of his column, we wanted to depose the taliban regime, and we did. we wanted to install a new government that answers its constituencies at the polls, and we did. we wanted to smash al qaeda's infrastructure, training camps and safe havens, and we did. we wanted to kill or capture osama bin laden, and we did. even so, say the hawks, we have to stay in afghanistan because of the dangerous instability across the border in the nuclear armed paki
