SEATTLE -- Former President Jimmy Carter criticized the war in Iraq on Wednesday, urging a troop drawdown as the United States enters its fourth year of conflict in Iraq.

"It was a completely unnecessary war. It was an unjust war," said Carter, the 2002 Nobel Peace Prize winner. "It was initiated on the basis of false pretenses. All of those are true, but we can't just pre-emptively withdraw."

If only James Earle Carter's daddy had withdrawn, James Earle wouldn't be shaming him and the USA today.

If so forced, the blood on our hands will not be innocent.

It will be complicit. Just like the firebombing of Japan.

My dad went into the Navy in 1946, so I'm probably alive today because of it. Nonetheless, those who died in Japan as well as those in Muslim countries who might die in any action we might take are largely innocent. It's their leaders who are guilty. I think that's a very important distinction to make and I hope you do to. Most people are just trying to live their lives in this world and really don't care what their government does.

Jimmuh Carter also urges eradication of all deadly swamp Rabbits that chew holes in canoes or boats and then eats the helpless victims. He has never recovered from deadly rabbit attack many years ago and requires heavy sedation in a Mental Ward, as he still suffers from severe hallucinations and post traumatic Stress syndrome.

Carter is a malaise a general feeling of worry, discontent, or dissatisfaction, often resulting in lethargy.

It was one of his favorite words, a clear case of psychological projection.

The Islamofascists fired the opening salvo of the 20th century during his presidency. He chose futile gestures and what he described as "non-violent" military action, as nonsensical a term as there ever was.
