No matter how strong a case can be made against Carter and his policies, he is incapable of admitting his mistakes. It is a hallmark of the powerful that when they err they immediately

Did anyone catch him on Charlie Rose the other day? Carter gave one answer about who owns Iraqi oil that floored me. Said he didn't know who owned it and brushed off the question. Charlie had to "correct" him after Carter said something really stupid. Charlie then cleared up all question that Carter's a totally scripted puppet for God knows who or what. He has no clue about anything and talks for 15 minutes saying nothing coherent.
