It's good our former Presidents are on the same page with what we are doing in war or we would really be sending the terrorists awrong message. Thank my lucky stars we are unified voice and don't have a miserable failure coming back only to shoot us in the foot. Wasn't he doing ok building houses? What ever happened to former Presidents shutting up? Bush 39 never spoke up.

Carter through out the first ball at the opening of Petco Park here in San Diego last night. He did NOT get a rousing reception.

Former President Carter on Thursday called the Bush administration's decision to wage war against Iraq "ill-advised and unnecessary," adding the resulting campaign "has turned out to be a tragedy."

This from a president whose military couldn't even successfully fly helicopters halfway into Iran. Stick to building low-income housing, Jimmah, and let someone else do the nation-building.

That's Jimmy 'I fought of a killer rabbit attack and lived to tell the story' Carter.

Too bad someone didn't set loose a rabbit on the field to chase him around. I would have paid really good money to see that.

What kind of Pansy takes a four day "birding" trip? Considering the disaster that was the Carter presidency I would think that people would know enough to go with the opposite of whatever he thinks would be a good plan. Funny the press can't see he has the reverse midas touch (everything he touches turns to cr*p). Let see, intervened in Hati that worked, intervened in N. Korea well thats just great, etc. etc. This pompous jack*ss even managed to be a thorn in the side of the Clinton adm. because he was so full of himself and too much of a dove. What a joke, if he had half the morality he claims to he would be hiding in shame.

Birding News Flash!

Yellow bellied sap sucker spotted in Lower Rio Grande Valley.

Hiding in the rose garden, while the US becomes a laughing stock abroad is a plan, Jimmy?

Did I really spell THREW wrong in my last post? YEESH.

And I love that he thinks Bush's environmental policies are the worst the nation has ever had, even worse than when there WAS no environmental policy, worse than when Lake Erie caught on fire, etc. What a partisan hack. He'll say anything, no matter how absurd, if it serves the interests of his political buddies, and persuades (cons) even a couple voters.

"Carter, who placed 103 million acres of Alaskan land under federal protection during his term, also took the current White House to task on the environment."

Yes.. a fact we Alaskans never forget and have been trying to undo ever since. Also, a fact that the crying liberals of the lower 48 seem to forget every time Alaska gets more Federal funding from Congress. CARTER GAVE OUR STATE TO THE FEDS!! Senator Ted Stevens, makes them PAY FOR IT.

Methinks he's popping back in the news cause the last of the Seawolf class submarines, USS Jimmy Carter, is launched into the fleet on June 5th. This boat's cursed, no doubt about it. The CO was sacked a few months ago due to 'lack of confidence in leadership ability'

[mtbopfuyn]

Alert! What does Carter know and when did he know it? If the 9/11 Commission really wanted to get to the bottom of this (ha!) Carter may have reason to be worried. Yeah, I know, but he sure has been poking his nose in things lately.

[Nonstatist]

Lets look at President Failure's past history as President. He "lost" Iran and Afghanistan, oversaw the explosion of stagflation; high inflation and interest rates and unemployment. He was a dithering, indecisive,unprincipled, disorganized micromanaging dolt, who got slaughtered by a candidate who the Press spent months painting as a dangerous idealogue.

Yea, lets listen to him.

FLASHBACK:

Role of Pres. Carter in Illegal Financial Demands on Shah of Iran directly led to Iranian terror takeover

[Still Thinking]

Dude, what's with your screen name? It make me cringe, just thinking about it.

[Dr Snide]

seems to me that nothing says 'lack of confidence in leadership ability' like Jimmy Carter.

[laconic]

Those who can't, Teach (record inflation, high unemployment, record interest rates, Desert One, 444 days of hostages, amnesty for draft dodgers, enormous gas lines and nonexistent energy "shortages", Russia invades Afghanistan, Shah overthrown).
