Jimmy Carter Urges Bush to Bring Troops Home

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."

He urged the Bush administration to bring home as many troops as possible within the next 12 months.

"The violence is increasing monthly," Carter said. "My prayer is we'll see some kind of democracy eventually evolve."

His comments came at a news conference before a building dedication at the University of Washington.

Carter was the keynote speaker at the dedication of the university's new Genome Sciences and Bioengineering Building in honor of William H. Foege.

Foege directed the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention during Carter's presidency and later headed The Carter Center, which promotes peace and health programs around the world.

Carter credited Foege with saving the lives of millions of people through his efforts to eradicate smallpox, Guinea worm and river blindness, and by encouraging childhood immunization.

Foege works with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, which contributed $50 million for the building.

As some FReeper posted a few days ago, with Jimmah, you get a twofer. Worst President ever and worst ex-president ever.

Did Jimmah say we better get out of there and nuke them from orbit?

[Doctor Don]

Jimmah, you spent too many hours in that submarine. You were oxygen deprived......you are near brain dead! Sorriest, bitterest, most tactless ex president in US history!

To this day I reminisce that the rabbit failed to take Jimmah out.

Jimmy Carter Urges Bush to Bring Troops Home

Jimmah BELONGES in a HOME

When Jimmah Carter dies I will say six words: "Good riddance" and "Thank the Good Lord."

As far as I am concerned he won't be missed.

"Does anyone even pay any attention to Mr. Carter anymore?"

Sure. Last time he was in Berkeley, there was a massive turnout. People waited for hours in the cold and the dark, just to cheer his arrival. He's also well received in Cuba, Venezuela and other communist dictatorships.

"Carter wants relevance. He has none, and knows he has none. He also has to be hopelessly envious of the fact that when he dies, there will be no national outpouring the likes of which we saw when Ronaldus Magnus sadly left us.

Has to stick in his craw. The MSM can try to pile on Reagan all they want - the truth is the country loved him and loved the way he made us feel about ourselves - a complete 180 from this idiot peanut farmer and his "misery index."


That was well stated, and worth repeating.

Carter is, and always has been, a senile old fool.
He is a real embarrassment to the south, and the great state of Georgia.
We expect this only from leftist blue states.

Who is Jimmy Carter???? I stay pretty informed as to people who matter, and I seriously don't think I've ever heard of this guy.
