My issue here isn't necessarily with withdrawal from Afghanistan, it is who Jones is buddying around with:

American Friends Service Committee

Jones enjoys being the useful idiot:

"On 10 issues, you probably wouldn't agree with me on any but one," Jones said.

Yeah right.

“You can’t trust any of them. I’m talking about both parties.”

Pretty hard to disagree with that statement.

Congressman Jones Once Again Aligns Himself with Liberals

Frank Palombo called Cong. Walter Jones a hypocrite for claiming he supports our military while once again aligning himself with liberal left-wing groups. According to an article in the News and Observer today, Cong. Jones is the only Republican slated to speak at an “all Democrat” rally at the State Legislative Building.
“Cong. Jones claims to support our military, yet he continues to conspire with left-wing liberals and others who would destroy our military,” Palombo said. “It is unconscionable that any member of Congress would sign on to such a thing as this, especially one whose district is directly involved to such a large extent with the US Armed Forces and who claims to be their champion.”
According to records obtained by the Palombo for Congress committee, Cong. Jones has never visited our troops in Iraq or Afghanistan.
“As a veteran, I am appalled that a Republican Congressman who has been so adamantly opposed to our involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan for eight of the last ten years has never taken the time to visit our troops in country so that he can see for himself what they are truly facing and how they feel about their mission as they defend our freedom,” Palombo said.

And in related news, National Journal ranks Walter Jones the least conservative Republican member of Congress. Look who ranks more conservative:

233. Charlie Bass, N.H.-2 (R)
234. Dan Boren, Okla.-2 (D)
235. Chris Smith, N.J.-4 (R)
236. Tim Johnson, Ill.-15 (R)
237. Justin Amash, Mich.-3 (R)
237. Mike Ross, Ark.-4 (D)
239. Ron Paul, Texas-14 (R)
240. Steven LaTourette, Ohio-14 (R)
240. Jim Matheson, Utah-2 (D)
242. Jason Altmire, Pa.-4 (D)
243. Mike McIntyre, N.C.-7 (D)
244. Joe Donnelly, Ind.-2 (D)
244. Tim Holden, Pa.-17 (D)
246. John Barrow, Ga.-12 (D)
246. Collin Peterson, Minn.-7 (D)
248. Henry Cuellar, Texas-28 (D)
249. Ben Chandler, Ky.-6 (D)
250. Jim Cooper, Tenn.-5 (D)
251. Walter Jones, N.C.-3 (R)

Jones ranks only slightly more conservative than Heath Shuler and Larry Kissell.
