If I were Theresa, I'd have it go to all the kids evenly, otherwise she's really not being a mother to Kerry's children.

But possibly the Heinz will prevented her from doing that.

Carter Says Bush Exploited Sept. 11 Attacks

Sun Oct 24, 9:57 PM ET Politics - Reuters


LONDON (Reuters) - President Bush (news - web sites) has exploited the Sept. 11 attacks for political gain, former president Jimmy Carter said in an interview published on Monday.

Asked in an interview with Britain's Guardian newspaper why U.S. polls were split over the war in Iraq (news - web sites), 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 (news - web sites) 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."

Carter also accused Bush of neglecting the nuclear non-proliferation work carried out by his predecessors.

"All of those long, tedious negotiations that were done by Dwight Eisenhower, John Kennedy, (Richard) Nixon and me and (Ronald) Reagan to control the spread of nuclear weapons have been abandoned by Bush," he said.
