President Jimmy Carter takes a shot at the "Decider" and Iraq War Czar's second-in-command

Jimmy Carter, a former US President and winner of a Nobel Peace Prize referred to Mr. Bush (the self-proclaimed "decider" until he appointed a new Iraq war Czar this week) as the "worst in history" when referring to Mr. Bush's impact on the world vis-a-vis his seemingly unstoppable antics in the Middle East. Such a characterization from a former president is unprecedented, but then so is the carnage in a once sovereign Middle Eastern Country, I suppose.

The White House responded today that Mr. Carter was "irrelevant." (I'd suggest to Mr. Bush that he not get into a spitting match with one of most popular former presidents at a time when every one of the Republicans running for president are trying to distance themselves from him anyway.)

As regards the ongoing war in Iraq, the White House just might be correct as regards Mr. Carter's "irrelevance."

Oh yes, just to put a little frosting on the cake, Mr. Carter referred to Mr. Tony Blair as "... abominable ... loyal, blind, apparently subservient ..." while answering a follow-up question ... all while visiting England, no less.

And lest Jimmy Carter have forgotten ...

THIS is our foreign policy today!
