Worst President EVER Criticizes Bush, Blair

The Peanut President is at it again!

It was only March 31, 2007 when I reminded Mike's America readers of this statement by former President Carter: "The United States has alienated its allies, dismayed its friends and inadvertently gratified its enemies by proclaiming a confused and disturbing strategy."

Carter's statement at the Democrat's 2004 Convention was part of the failed Kerry presidential campaign which stressed the need for allies in the war on terror.

Now, In the same week when President Bush welcomed outgoing British Prime Minister Tony Blair to the White House, former President Carter gave an interview to the BBC:

Carter attacks Blair for 'blind' support of US in Iraq

Former US president Jimmy Carter on Saturday attacked outgoing Prime Minister Tony Blair for his "blind" support of the Iraq war, describing it as a "major tragedy for the world".

In an interview with BBC radio, Carter was asked how he would describe Blair's attitude to US President George W. Bush. He replied: "Abominable. Loyal, blind, apparently subservient.

"I think that the almost undeviating support by Great Britain for the ill-advised policies of President Bush in Iraq have been a major tragedy for the world."

My question is: Why would a sane person, especially one of such importance, think it wise to insult repeatedly one of America's best friends who was in this country to be honored shortly before his retirement?

And of course this isn't the first time the Peanut President has taken cheap shots at Blair.

In the last five years Democrats have tossed aside the traditional standard of conduct where "politics stops at the waters edge." But repeatedly attacking and insulting our staunchest ally and greatest friend is a new low for people who have already sunk to subterranean depths in their loathing of any institution they do not control.

Jimmy Carter has tarnished the dignity that former President's used to cultivate. In doing so, he is no longer owed any respect at all.

Also this week, Carter said that President Bush was "the worst in history" in international relations.

O.K. Let's review shall we?

We recall that it was on Carter's watch that Iran fell to the Ayatollahs and the specter of Islamic Jihad arose. OPEC and the energy crisis began with long lines at gas stations common. Our military was weakened while the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan. Finally, Americans suffered from the worst economy since the great depression.

And Carter is calling Bush and Blair names?
