So why does he think the US electorate punished him so badly over Iran - a
crisis that wasn’t his choice, and in which relatively few Americans died -
while the polls are so split about Bush’s arguably far worse, and certainly more
deadly, adventure in Iraq?
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,” Carter says.
“He’s repeatedly played that card, and to some degree quite successfully. I
think that success has dissipated. I don’t know if it’s dissipating fast enough
to affect the election. We’ll soon know.”
