Carter Criticizes Blair Over Support For Bush

HeadlineAug 29, 2006

British Prime Minister Tony Blair’s continued support for the Bush administration is coming under criticism from former President Jimmy Carter. In an interview with the London Daily Telegraph, Carter said he’s disappointed Blair did not stand up to President Bush over the invasion of Iraq. Carter said QUOTE: “My own personal opinion is that the Iraqi people are not better off as a result of the invasion and people in America and Great Britain are not safer… It’s a shameful and pitiful state of affairs and I hold [Tony Blair] to be substantially responsible for being so compliant and subservient.”
