Former President Jimmy Carter believes the Iraq war ranks as one of the "greatest blunders" in U.S. presidential history.
Speaking on CNN, Carter said: "I think that the original invasion of Iraq, and all of its consequences, yes, were a blunder. It's going to prove, I believe to be one of the greatest blunders that American presidents have ever made."
When asked if it was a bigger foreign-policy mistake than the Vietnam War, he said: "I think it is going to be a close call ... but perhaps much more vividly known by the rest of the world than Vietnam was."
Carter also said the conflict between rival factions in Iraq isn't a "civil war."
"I think a civil war is a more serious circumstance than exists in Iraq," he said.
Carter suggested that President Bush find a way to pull out of Iraq that would be considered a "victory" by agreeing to an international conference on the war.

You are totally right about that.
I think the media feeds Carter the Simpleton his lines just so it will look ligitimate when they print it or report it. Actually, few if any really care what Jimmy Carter thinks.

Maybe Iraqi is bigger and costlier, but President Bush is taking care of business, not leaving it to the next guy to clean up.

Jimmy is not an honest man, which is interesting because he was elected on a "trust me" platform. If you were alive during Vietnam, and Jimmy was, you are flat out lying to state the world will more vividly remember Iraq.
There was a world wide left wing movement against the Vietnam war, instigated in large part by the Soviet Union, and we had daily protests including Washington DC being taken over by hundreds of thouands, shootings on campuses, and the violent disruption of the Dem convention in Chicago.
Jimmuh is an out and out liah.

Actually Jimmuh Dum de Dum Carter, one of the biggest blunders in history is your Presidency. It was a total disaster and nearly sank the country under a cloud of malaise. Second to your handling of the economy, long gas lines, high unemployment, and sky high interest rates comes your dreadful foreign policy performance with letting the mullahs take over Iran, then rub your nose in it by taking our embassy hostage ... where you did exactly nothing for over a year.
Go out and slay some wabbits, it's about all you are good for.

The invasion wasn't a blunder. Tying Rummy's hands was a huge blunder -- but we don't need (ex)President Blunder in Human Form telling us about it.

THE biggest blunder of the 20th century was allowing the Shah to fall to the Jihadis.
That'll be Carter's legacy...a nuclear Iran hostile to western civilization.
