Jimmy Carter: “I think that because we took strong action, the dollar has been very stable ever since the 1st of November.”

Base on what I just said, which I can't retract.

the federal, state and local government process to get the money appropriated to the families so they can start rebuilding their homes is a total disaster.

I think that sends a clear signal to Maliki that we won't be there indefinitely and my hope is that they'll be a commitment by the world community including the controversial nations of Syria and Iran.

I would prefer a much more rapid withdrawal myself and I don't know what the, you know, what the recommendation will be until I see the written report.
