Jimmy Carter: 'Rumsfeld One of the Worst'
Newsmax ^ | September 28, 2006 | unk

Posted on 09/28/2006 8:49:11 AM PDT by OldCorps

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."

The only way Democrats have to elevate their stature is to belittle & besmirch their opponents.

Carter is most responsible for the muslim terrorists we have today by turning Iran over to radical islamic leaders.

Dear Lord,

Please call Jimmy Carter Home. We don't want him anymore. Maybe he could go on Mansion Building detail...or angel crash clean-up. Thank you in advance.

Amen

Rummy got more that 4000 foreign terrorists to go to the Iraq flypaper to die.

What is with these former Presidents opening their mouths so frequently to bad mouth a current sitting President and his administration? I think the gloves are off and maybe that is a good thing--finally the American public can see the real politician for what they are not--Clinton has shown his real self and Carter continues to do so--any coincidence that the two former most ineffective Presidents are the ones opening up their big traps?

Worse than Harold Brown, Mr. Carter?

This from a guy(Carter) who left us with 20% inflation and 10% unemployment.

Mr. Carter couldn't close an umbrella.

Carter, possibly the worst President of all time, would know what it takes.

"Oh please, please Lord let us see a day soon when GWB, Sec Rumsfeld, and others have had enough and come out swinging hard!"

You are so right! I think that we would all like to see that happen.

Harold Brown was mostly a nonentity. Carter was absolutely pathetic.

No one cares what you "think". What we all *know* is you are a lunatic and were the worst president ever.

The disgraced, impeached, alleged serial rapist, XXX-Prex "42" Bubba J. Klintoon is heartened to see that Jimmah Cartah is working furiously to regain the title of WORST ALL-TIME EX-PRESIDENT which had been captured by said rapist last Sunday morning...

These latest developments put Cartah and Klintoon in a statistical dead heat for the title with 178 Traitor points each. Both Presidential legacies stand at -9,754.5 and falling.

Since Jimmie was a one-term President he is eligible to serve again. Maybe if he would run again we would see how much the people respect his leadership and judgment. When he opens his pie hole why not ask him to put his money where his mouth is?

Other than that, how do you feel about Jimmah?

I saw your

the other day and couldn't resist.

Cartah is a doozy. He needs to man the circulation desk in his library to staunch the losses of what little if any reputation he has left.

No doubt Jimmy Carter is an authority on peanuts; he should work to his strengths and stick with what he knows.

The senile old idiot and his fellow democrat party ilk, has devided the nation through their treasonous-obstructionist politics.

Yes, but he's not THE worst. That would be Jimmy Carter.
