Jimmy Carter Calls Iraq War "Unjust"
POSTED: 6:02 am EST March 9, 2006
SEATTLE -- As the United States begins its fourth year in Iraq, former President Jimmy Carter blasted the war in an appearance in Washington state, calling it "completely unnecessary," "unjust," and "initiated on the basis of false pretenses."
Carter was in Seattle yesterday for a building dedication at the University of Washington. The event that was interrupted when strong winds lifted part of the tent where he and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates had just finished speaking. No one was injured, but the event was moved indoors.
Carter's comments about Iraq came during a ten-minute news conference beforehand.
Carter said that although the war was unjust and based on false pretenses, the U-S cannot just "pre-emptively withdraw."
He urged the Bush administration to bring home as many troops as possible within the next 12 months.

"blah, blah, blah". Thats all Jimmy Farter has been saying since the beginning of this war. I'd like to know the real story of how Jimmy Farter has been linked to oil-for-food scam. I've always thought that "Mr. Peanut" needed some *****.
