Bush is attacked with words again, this time by ex president Jimmy Carter!
Carter announced that the president has used the 911 horror for his own political gains.
LONDON (Reuters) - U.S. President George W. Bush has exploited the September 11 attacks for political gain, former president Jimmy Carter has said in an interview.
Asked in an interview published on Monday in the Guardian why U.S. polls were split over the war in Iraq, the former Democrat president said:
"I think the basic reason is that our country suffered, in 9/11, a terrible and shocking attack ... and George Bush has been adroit at exploiting that attack and he has elevated himself, in the consciousness of many Americans, to a heroic commander-in-chief, fighting a global threat against America."
"He's repeatedly played that card, and to some degree quite successfully. I think that success has dissipated," he added.
"I don't know if it's dissipating fast enough to affect the election."
The Nobel Peace Prize winner described the invasion of Iraq by U.S.-led forces as "unwarranted" and "a completely unjust adventure based on misleading statements."

Why is this an attack? It's just a statement of the plain obvious truth.
