Carter savages Blair and Bush: 'Their war was based on lies'

Drudge Report ^ | March 22, 2004 | Andrew Buncombe

Jimmy Carter, the former US president, has strongly criticised George Bush and Tony Blair for waging an unnecessary war to oust Saddam Hussein based on "lies or misinterpretations". The 2002 Nobel peace prize winner said Mr Blair had allowed his better judgement to be swayed by Mr Bush's desire to finish a war that his father had started.

Just so you'll know, we're all embarassed he's from the U.S.

[risk]

His daddy didn't start the war...Saddam did.

Plus, if one of us is attacked, all of us is attacked. I guess he sort of forgot about that rule.

"Mr Bush's desire to finish a war that his father had started." FIRST of all, old fool, that is PRESIDENT BUSH to you SECOND, your whole tirade could be attributed to an elderly man losing his senses - but you just proved yourself a liar in the finest Demo fashion with the above statement. "Everyone" knew what the terms of that war was, including you. President Bush 41 certainly could have wiped the floor with Bubba, but instead showed the honor that was never taught on that peanut farm.

I've got one word to say to that inflationary fool: IRAN

[leprechaun9]

This is the Democrap piece of $hit that was part of the Democrap Party's effort to enlist support from the Soviet Union to defeat Ronald Reagan in 1984. The Soviets infused large sums of money (~$20 million) into environmental groups to attack Reagan's Environmental record!

For a description of these efforts read: Reagans's War.

Yes, an old fool with a big head.
Jimmy Carter did an awful job when he was President. I remember the high gas prices at the pumps, the long lines or no gas at the filling stations. Thanks for the memories, Jimmy. Double digit inflation and didn't do anything about our hostages for 444 days. How did you get Noble Peace Prize? People felt sorry for you?

jimmy carter leaving the Baptist Church was the best thing that ever happened to the Baptist Church.

I heard many people say that "He is not crooked enough to be in politics."

They were and still are wrong. jimmy carter ranks with hillary clinton, bill clinton, ted kennedy, and john kerry in the crook department.

Same with him being such a "religious man"

President Bush as caused another fraud to expose his true colors.

[Indie]

Psssst...hey Jimmy....yeah you....shhhhh...listen Jimmy......

SIT DOWN!

[mewzilla]

Carter savages?? ROTF! This from the guy who could barely fight off a killer rabbit??

"When will Carter ever get a life?"

It is too late for carter to get a life.

He is just another soul on the long list of clinton worshipers who are growing older and becoming more bitter each day.

Why are they bitter? monica lewinsky.
In their dreams and fantasies they see themselves taking her place with bill.

Bitter reality hits when they realize that this can never be, thus shattering their most precious dreams resulting in lives filled with jealousy and envy toward monica.

The jealousy and envy of monica turns to hatred of monica.

They cannot public ally voice their hatred of monica so they do as every intelligent challenged individual has always done, direct their hatred to someone or something else. In this case President Bush.

They cannot publicly voice their hatred and jealously of monica, therefore, they do as intelligence challenged individuals have always done. Direct their venom to someone or something else. In this case President Bush.

[crz]

You got that right..Then he sits back and howls after we have to clean the poop up that he left behind.
When the bastard let the only stable government in the region to collapse and then allowed a radical Islamic bastard to take over in its place...geez Carter done more in his term to ruin foriegn relations than all the presidents combined.

[pctech]

Whatever happened to former presidents not criticizing their successors???? I'm beginning to think there should be a law against what Carter, Clinton, Gore, and others are doing against the sitting president.

[TedsGarage]

Well, that's what happens when you put a Southerner in the White House.

[Lucky2]

What's so disturbing out jimmy carter and his stupid comments is that there are actually people who read and believe him. (I have relatives who still think he's great).
jimmy is an old fart who can't shut up and I wish he would as he's only hurting the USA and our troop overseas.

"...Carter is another failure looking for cover..."

There's a used spiderhole in Iraq, one owner who was evicted, no rabbits.

Glad to be here!

Remember Carter's little fireside chats when he was pres and inflation stood in the high teens and we had to conserve fuel and turn down thermostats? Why? Because according to our fearless leader, it was all our fault...'the American malaise'. The insufferable Bible-thumping prig has never taken responsiblity for his weakness as pres., which essentially led us down the path to this present terrorist mess. Thank you, Jimmy Carter, loser of all time.

[hershey]

I especially like your description of Carter. And thanks, also, for the list of his failures in office. He's despicable and has spent every waking moment out of office trying to whitewash his performance. This banging nails for Habitat for Humanity is another sleazy photo op., painting Jimmy as such a caring individual. It's smoke and mirrors. He got $8 mill. for his memoirs and Rosalie got a similar amount. They kept all that money and didn't give it away to the poor. He's totally bogus.
