(131,073 posts)I did not do what I should have done to read and find out whether Bush was telling us the truth about Saddam being responsible for 9/11 and having weapons of mass destruction, Jones said during an interview on The Tyler Cralle Show.
Because I did not do my job then, Jones continued, I helped kill 4,000 Americans, and I will go to my grave regretting that.
