Carter Says Worked with UN to Prevent Iraq War
ATLANTA (Reuters) - Former President Jimmy Carter on Wednesday said he had been working quietly with the United Nations to find a peaceful solution to the standoff between the United StatesOnce again, the failed former president can rack up a huge success in foreign policy. But remember, only measure his intents,not his results( He's a liberal, they arent interested in the results of their actions, just that their intentions are good). Carter, the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002, said he and other officials from his nonprofit Carter Center had spent several months trying to bolster U.N. efforts to disarm Iraq and prevent a war in the Middle East. "That effort has not been successful," the Democrat told participants at a forum in Atlanta to discuss campaign finance reform in the Americas. "The only comment from the Carter Center now and in the future will be to support our troops overseas and to pray that the casualties among them and the innocent people of Iraq are minimized," Carter added. Mr. Carter can't wait to try to interfere with the North Korean show, scheduled for later this year. Carter, who earlier this week described a war against Iraq as "completely unnecessary," had favored strengthening the U.N. arms inspection process as the best way to disarm Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein Sometimes this stuff just writes itself.
