Former US president Jimmy Carter lashed out at British Prime Minister Tony Blair for being "so compliant and subservient" to the Bush administration in Washington.

"I have been surprised and extremely disappointed with Tony Blair's behaviour," Carter told the Sunday Telegraph newspaper as he promoted his new book "Faith and Freedom."

"I think that, more than any other person in the world, the prime minister could have had a moderating influence on Washington, and he has not," said the 81-year-old former head of state.

He faulted Blair for not having been a constraint on US President George W. Bush's decision to invade Iraq in March 2003 -- an invasion which, he said, subverted the fight against global terrorism.

"We now have a situation where America is so unpopular overseas that, even in countries like Egypt and Jordan, our approval ratings are less than five percent," said Carter, who was in the White House from 1977 to 1981.

"It's a shameful and pitiful state of affairs, and I hold your British prime minister to be substantially responsible for being so compliant and subservient."

AND THE SENILE S.O.B. SAYS THIS ON FOREIGN SOIL!

[Paradox]

I used to say the Carter was the best EX-President we ever had. Now, it is clear, that he is the WORST ex-president of the last century at least.

You beat me to it.

This is sad, but the old man could do more for humanity at this point by just dying.

"I have been surprised and extremely disappointed with Tony Blair's behaviour"

Of course, nobody was ever disappointed with the ineffective, irresponsible, and destructive behavior of the failed presidency of this loser.

What are we supposed to do with Democrat former Presidents who won't honor tradition and stay out of foreign policy matters?

[decal]

Impolitic, perhaps, but not bad. Had one deleted saying the same thing on another thread.

And you know, it doesn't mean the Mods necessarily disagree with the sentiments ;)

Will the despicable Carter dump on Mr. Howard next?

[paudio]

I think he's a megalomaniac who enjoys sucking up from the leftists--regardless where they are from... Losing reelection to a Hollywood actor perhaps hurt his feeling so much that he wants to prove to the world that he's the greatest of all, and the American was wrong to send him home in 1980...

[I still care]

How did anyone who hates his own country so much ever get to be president?

Maybe he's still mad about this:

[catholicfreeper]

You know this is so bizaree I cant even imagine Carter saying this. This should like be on the Onion or something.

[pennboricua]

No I believe it is time for Blair to respond leaving all diplomacy aside and ask if this is the same Carter that during his presidency allowed sovereign American soil to be invaded and American citizens to be held as prisoners for 444 days, that ran the most inept White House in history and feared vicious rabbits.

Possibly a new low in classlessness, even for Jimmah.
What an utter turd.
