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, 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."
It takes one to know one.
Don't be so easy on Jimmy. He was THE worst.
I think Jimmy Carter is one of the worst presidents we've ever had.
Most of the USA: "Carter one of the worst"
Go to hell Jimmy
And one of the worst EX-Presidents we have ever had.
He is shamless..
I can imagine Rummy's response:
"I'd be worried if he thought otherwise."
I'll have a stroke if this traitorous sonofabitch gets re-elected.
Being called "One of the worst" by a POS pretender like catah will be worn by Conservatives as a "BADGE OF HONOR"!
I look forward to jimmah's obituary.

Oh please, please Lord let us see a day soon when GWB, Sec Rumsfeld, and others have had enough and come out swinging hard! I would love to see GWB trash Clinton and Carter with the same fervor Clinton used the other day. Except Mr Bush should do it without the sneering anger.
I'm having a problem deciding whether Jimmy Carter or Bill Clinton is more disgusting.
Ping....
based on how much you like Jimmah Cartah.... ;)
Pic not on this puter - Sorry
This only confirms that my admiration of Rumsfeld is well placed.
He is...and also was worst sitting....the man is a delusional, do gooder, with his brains in his..posterior.He likes Clinton..that tells you
all about him...Ronnie cleaned his clock..Jake
