Rep. Walter Jones Is Sick Of Borrowing War Money From 'Uncle Chang'

North Carolina Rep. Walter Jones, Ron Paul's fellow anti-everything old crank who's occasionally right, is sick of the Afghanistan war, like the vast majority of Americans and people everywhere. But did you even know, like Walter Jones knows, that some guy in China named "Uncle Chang" is paying for the whole thing?

Here goes our "Afghanistan reporting for the week," with this copy-pasted block quote and video via TPM (thanks TPM!):

In a question to the Commander of U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan, General John Allen, Jones said, "What is the event that the administration and General Allen, you sir, are going to be candid with the United States Congress and more important than the Congress, the American people as we spend $10 billion a month that we can't pay for, the Chinese, Uncle Chang, is lending us the money we are spending in Afghanistan."

Can anyone explain why we're not bombing this Uncle Chang fellow right now? John McCain would've done it. (No, really, John McCain would've invaded mainland China by now.)
