“In an interview today in the Independent, the British newspaper, the Independent reports that President Carter "strongly criticized" Mr. Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair "for waging an unnecessary war to oust Saddam Hussein, based on lies and misinterpretations." This is not me speaking; this is former President Carter. This is not a reporter giving an editorial point of view. This is former President Carter. I will repeat: "for waging an unnecessary war to oust Saddam Hussein, based on lies and misinterpretations. There was no reason for us to become involved in Iraq recently. That was a war based on lies and misinterpretations from London and from Washington claiming falsely that Saddam Hussein was responsible for the 9-11 attacks, claiming falsely that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. And I think that President Bush and Prime Minister Blair probably knew that many of the allegations were based on uncertain intelligence. A decision was made to go to war. Then people said, let's find a reason to do it."”
