On the Iraq War
"I was a supporter of the invasion of Iraq on the weapons of mass destruction grounds...when we have uncertainty or lack of data, we have no alternative in the weapons of mass destruction arena but to err on the safe side." 12/14/05

In 2006, Carter outflanked the Bush administration, advocating a strike on North Korea if they did a ballistic missile test in a Washington Post op-ed titled “If Necessary, Strike and Destroy.”
