Jimmy Carter Blasts Iraq as an ‘Unnecessary War’, Urges Troop Withdrawal

Speaking at a news conference before a building dedication at the University of Washington today, former President Jimmy Carter criticized the war in Iraq and urged 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.”

He urged the Bush administration to bring home as many troops as possible within the next 12 months.

“The violence is increasing monthly,” Carter said. “My prayer is we’ll see some kind of democracy eventually evolve.”

1. Sorry to wake you Mr President Carter but the Iraqi people will

not have anything to do with anything to do with the United States, especially the crawford coward cowboy

2. I agree to a point

We do need to get all our troops out of there, and now before any more die. There is no reason why any more of our finest should get killed in Iraq.
