As the Title suggests I am a vet, and proud of it, and proud of all those that wear the uniform of the United States of America. You name it we'll talk about it. Politics, sports and much more. However, I am also very interested in what is happening to this great country of ours, politically and socially...So SOUND OFF PRIVATE!!!

Earth To Carter...Your Spaceship is Ready

OK, with all the great accomplishments that former Pres. Jimmy "Peanut" Carter had in his short term as President, you know the success of the Iranian Hostage Situation in the late 70's, and so much more. Here he is ranting in Seattle demanding troop withdrawl. This from a man that had no respect from the Armed Services, even though he served, for his failures during his presidency. Democrats are just wishing he would fade away graciously.

SEATTLE (AP) -- Former President Jimmy Carter criticized the war in Iraq on Wednesday, urging a troop drawdown as the United States enters its fourth year of conflict in Iraq.

"It was a completely unnecessary war. It was an unjust war," said Carter, the 2002 Nobel Peace Prize winner. "It was initiated on the basis of false pretenses. All of those are true, but we can't just pre-emptively withdraw."

He urged the Bush administration to bring home as many troops as possible within the next 12 months.

"The violence is increasing monthly," Carter said. "My prayer is we'll see some kind of democracy eventually evolve."
