New Haven, CT (AHN)-Millionaire businessman and Democratic Ned Lamont said Wednesday the U.S. is weaker because of the war in Iraq backed by rival Sen. Joe Lieberman, and he called for shifting forces to Afghanistan and elsewhere.
During a speech at Yale Law School, Lamont said, "We have sacrificed our daughters and sons and our treasure in a war we didn't have to fight. We have ignored the real threats and security needs in the war we should be fighting, the one against the terrorists. ... Senator Lieberman believes that President Bush has it right in Iraq. I believe that he's dangerously wrong."
Lamont, who upset the three-term Lieberman last month in Connecticut's Democratic primary, got a boost Wednesday from former President Carter, who offered a blistering critique of Lieberman's support for the Iraq war, telling CNN's "Larry King Live," "He was one of the originators of public statements that misled the American people into believing that the Iraqi war was justified."
"He's joined in with the Republican spokespersons by saying that Democrats who disagree are really supporting terrorism," Carter said. "So for all these reasons, I've lost my confidence in Joe Lieberman and don't wish to see him re-elected."

I dont know why the history books categorize Carter as our worse President.?. He seems so smart and noble and not a wacked out treasonous scumbag liberal like so many say.
Now, that's always a sight for sore eyes!
Another nugget of wisd...I mean crap from Jimmy Carter.
Jimmy, please. Listen to me.
STFU! You are yesterday's news - and have been for 25 years now.
You coddle Third World dictators and embody the "Blame America First" mentality espoused by the Democrat party these days.
Please go away. Far away. Now.
It is fun watching the progrssive socialist pigs panic! Jimmy (dammie bastard nut) carter needs to go visit his love castro and let the both go swimming with some stingrays.
Your /sarc button isn't working, right? :-)
We need to start a movement: "Please Shut Up You Ex-Democrat Presidents".
Just curious, was he in favor of going into Afghanistan originally?
*************
By golly, you're right! I'm calling for a federally funded investigation!
Jimmy Carter is a sheep in sheep's clothing.
dammie bastard nut = da commie bastard nut!
I need a new keyboard --- and learn how to touch type so I can watch the screen too.
Jimmah Ol' Coot Carter...at it again...ranting and raving.
Do you have a licanse fur yer cerrendar minkey?
Well, Carter (an expert on the non-reelection issue) should endorse LIEBERMAN then
Crikeys!
LOL! That would make a great tagline.
Funny, but in 1980, an overwhelming majority of the American electorate felt exactly the same way about Jimmy Carter. And I don't think he has ever forgiven them for that. Which probably goes a long way toward explaining why he is the sour old creep that he is.
He Barely won the First Time
