Ford disagreed with Bush on Iraq war
Bongo please post your reasons for saying Carter was one of the worst Presidents, be specific....don't just repeat what you have heard from fox news....THINK for yourself. DO some research.....he was screwed by the treasonist neocons going behind his back. Carter was too good for the White House he would not play their game so they went behind his back which is treason.
Arms sales is the bread and butter of the neocons...it always has been so they made it a point to smear Jimmy Carter...this quote is what set them against him......
"The arms industry is unlike any other. It operates without regulation. It suffers from widespread corruption and bribes. And it makes its profits on the back of machines designed to kill and maim human beings.
So who profits most from this murderous trade? The five permanent members of the UN Security Council??the USA, UK, France, Russia, and China. Together, they are responsible for eighty eight per cent of reported conventional arms exports. ??We can??t have it both ways. We can??t be both the world??s leading champion of peace and the world??s leading supplier of arms.? Former US President Jimmy Carter, presidential campaign, 1976
What exactly in the above qoute do you have problems with?
The rest of the world does not seem to agree with you.....
Jimmy Carter is without doubt one of the most active and influential ex-presidents in American history.
After leaving office, he established the nonprofit Carter Center, tasked with advancing human rights around the world. Through his and the center??s work, Carter has helped monitor more than 60 democratic elections, worked with governments in sub-Saharan Africa to develop sustainable agriculture, negotiated for peaceful conflict resolution in various countries, and worked to eradicate diseases such as Guinea worm and river blindness. For these and other efforts, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002.
Carter??whose presidency was highlighted by achievements in international diplomacy such as the Camp David Accords between Egypt and Israel, the Panama Canal treaties, and the arms-reducing SALT II treaty with the Soviet Union??is also the author of 20 books. The most recent, Our Endangered Values: America??s Moral Crisis, is a wide-ranging critique of how fundamentalism, both religious and political, is influencing American policy at home and abroad.

SO what's your beef...do you grade presidents on how many wars they start or how many Muslims they kill? I don't get you so please enlighten me.BlueCat Reviewed by BlueCat on . Ford disagreed with Bush on Iraq war Ford asked that these statements be released after his death. Former president Gerald Ford said that the Iraq war was not justified. "I don't think I would have gone to war," he said a little more than a year after President George W. Bush had launched the invasion advocated and carried out by prominent veterans of Ford's own administration. In a four-hour conversation at his house in Beaver Creek, Colorado, Ford "very strongly" disagreed with the current president's justifications Rating: 5
