President Carter

Jimmy Carter made these remarks in an interview with BBC World News America.

Regarding Vice President Dick Cheney:

"He's a militant who avoided any service of his own in the military and he has been most forceful in the last 10 years or more in fulfilling some of his more ancient commitments that the United States has a right to inject its power through military means in other parts of the world."

"You know he's been a disaster for our country. I think he's been overly persuasive on President George Bush and quite often he's prevailed."

Say what you will about Carter's presidency.
But, you cannot argue that he is not an intelligent, admirable and compassionate man.
