SEATTLE -- Former President Jimmy Carter criticized the war in Iraq on Wednesday, urging a troop drawdown as the United States enters its fourth year of conflict in Iraq.

"It was a completely unnecessary war. It was an unjust war," said Carter, the 2002 Nobel Peace Prize winner. "It was initiated on the basis of false pretenses. All of those are true, but we can't just pre-emptively withdraw."

Like the last pick in the NFL Draft, Jimmy Carter wins the Mr. Irrelevant Award.

Shut up,Jimmuh !

[paul51]

The headline is very misleading.

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

Incompetent fired micro manager who loves dictators.

[RichInOC]

No. Do you suppose the insurgents would settle for a reacharound?

[Question_Assumptions]

Gee, Jimmy. Run and leave some Middle Eastern people in the living hell of a totalitarian government LIKE YOU DID TO THE PEOPLE OF IRAN? You never learn, do you, Jimmy? You probably still think the Sandanistas were good for Nicaragua, too, don't you, Jimmmy?

Why should we listen to anything this man says after his response to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, which ultimately led to the Taliban, was TO BOYCOTT THE OLYMPICS. Way to go, Jimmy. Go away. Please. You are an embarassment and at least part of our current problems in the Middle East are YOUR FAULT.

[Cognoscenti247]

He must have mad cow disease...

[359Henrie]

Jimmie, ya turned that thermostat down to far cause your peanut brain is still frozen.

[sangoo]

Geeze, I detest this guy. What a loser he was, is, and will always be.

[aquila48]

He's got experience when it comes to retreat... remember the Iran hostage rescue fiasco - the lowest point in morale for the US in its history.

[lgjhn]

He's eaten too many peanuts....again.
Go away, Jimmuh....the clintoon will take care of everythin' for ya....

[Fruitbat]

On top of being a communist and fascist at heart, he's a moron.

[austinaero]

Jimmy "I know how to handle muslim extremists" Carter has some advice to give?

If he says we should get out, then I say we should stay,,TWICE as LONG!

Jimmy really needs to cut back on the peanut butter...

[A CA Guy]

BS, had the UN, France, Germany and Russia not been screwing us over, we would have been in there 11 months earlier and gotten WMDs.

Nobody ever said they never existed, only that they were not there by the time we went in.
Even known things the UN had tagged were gone, so lots of foul play in action on this whole issue.

[Fruitbat]

HTH did someone that's so stupid become president!

[Frank_2001]

Well stated!

[soloNYer]

I think his opinion means a bit more to journalists than the rest of America.

[Doofer]

The headline is very misleading.

It sure is. Now I'm no lover of Jimmy Carter but who on this board is against a drawdown?

[winner3000]

(...said Carter, the 2002 Nobel Peace Prize winner.)

Carter and Arafat...The Nobel people must be proud!

[upchuck]

Carter urges troop withdrawal from Iraq

Of course he does. This is news??

[doug from upland]

This ***clown sometimes makes it difficult for me to consider Clinton the worst we've had.

[Americanexpat]

Hey Jimmie you want us to withdraw from Iraq the way you did from Iran?

[ferri]

maaaaaaan! can't we dip that idiot in some cheese to shut him up for awhile??? (if i remember right he is allergic to cheese, i always wanted to mail him some when he was Pres. lol)

[Moonman62]

Worst ---- president ---- ever.

[Jean S]

"troop drawdown" versus "troop withdrawal".

I don't see where you get the "very misleading."

[When do we get liberated?]

Rarely do I have an actual lol event. Your post was one!

[highlander_UW]

Anyone up for starting a petition to have Carter's US citizenship revoked?

[Williams]

"Unjust" war? What a contemtible piece of leftist garbage he has become.

[When do we get liberated?]

Peanut butter? Estas fumar de mota?

[Moonman62]

How to be a great president: Take the opposite side of Carter's position.

[Trueblackman]

Well Carter Presidency was completely unnecessary and the disgrace at Desert One was unjust and uncalled for.

[devolve]

[Natural Law]

Why should I care more about this than anything my crazy aunt says?

[Rembrandt]

Isn't it time for Jammah to greet his own 72 virgins?

[When do we get liberated?]

No, they were based on true false pretenses. Obviously you either didn't read or you have difficulty understanding liberals

[austinaero]

Only the good stuff my friend.

[paul51]

withdrawal of a military force means disengagement. Draw down of a military force means reduction. There is a difference

[Humidston]

HEY JIMMUH, WHY DON'T YOU HAVE A SIT-DOWN AND RE-THINK GIVING OUR PANAMA CANAL AWAY BEFORE YOU COME AROUND HERE TELLING ANYONE HOW TO RUN OUR WAR!

[When do we get liberated?]

No, they were true, but on false premises.

[AmishDude]

We had to put up with this guy for 4 years, why do we have to continue to suffer?

[Graymatter]

If it were up to me, I wouldn't put Carter in Breaking News if he were taken hostage in Iran.
Well ok maybe then. But nothing less!

[eyespysomething]

I love your shortbutsweet messages!

[When do we get liberated?]

I'd put it under good news

[tina07]

that was the plan, stall and delay and give Saddam the time he needed to get the WMD's out to preserve all those Oil for Food deals..no doubt at all.

[potlatch]

I think it's kind of neat devolve, never have seen one like it before!

[jazusamo]

After the way he handled the Iran hostage fiasco he should stick to his wine making. He sounds like he's been drinking too much of it.

[Westlander]

Americans request Jimmuh Carter be removed from earth.

[4U2OUI]

Jimmah is an old fool.
