FALLON, Nev. - Former President Jimmy Carter said Wednesday major policy changes are needed because the Iraq war has divided the nation "almost as much as Vietnam."
"So there's no doubt that our country is in much more danger now from terrorism than it would have been if we would have done what we should have done and stayed in Afghanistan," he said on the campaign trail with his son, Democratic U.S. Senate nominee Jack Carter.
The former president said the Bush administration made a "terrible mistake" by invading Iraq and diverting troops from Afghanistan.
Jack Carter criticized his opponent, Sen. John Ensign (news, bio, voting record), R-Nev., for supporting the Iraq war. Both Carters also said Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld should go.
"I think he's one of the worst secretaries of defense we've ever had," the former president said of Rumsfeld. "Almost every decision he has made has aggravated his military subordinates and has also proved to be a mistake."

Ah yes, this will be very helpful to Jack Carter's campaign in the great "red" state of Nevada.
Keep spouting on, Jimmy.

Jimmy speaks!
Thank goodness, I was starting to think that Hugo had whisked him away to Venezuela to keep as an adviser.

Well...Jimmah has only himself to blame for the enormity of world wide terrorism...probably why he's projecting against the Bush Administration.
Best thing this old, senile, goat (Carter) can do is take a dirt nap.

"I think he's one of the worst secretaries of defense we've ever had," the former president said of Rumsfeld. "Almost every decision he has made has aggravated his military subordinates and has also proved to be a mistake." Jimmy Carter's odious spoutings could gag a maggot!

Almost every decision "YOU" made aggravated military subordinates and has also proven to be a mistake while "YOU" were Commander and Chief.
I know, because I was on active duty during the 4 years of "YOUR" disastrous Presidency.

Single handedly responsible for ME aggression against the US - before he gave Korea its nuclear program - and yet we are supposed to give credence to ANYTHING he has to say about our security?
