Bush has done far, far worse (just counting foreign policy), and spent far more lives and treasure to do that." Ha, Carter only had a few people trapped in a hostile Middle Eastern nation. Bush managed to get 200,000+ stuck there. “People fault Carter for not getting the hostages back from Iran, and making the US look bad.

Always love good Wikipedia entry. But actually, even though Julian is making a joke, that doesn't mean that he isn't relying on a certain kind of assumption in order to make the joke be funny or amusing or whatever. The assumption in this case seems to be something like that Carter's negative judgment of Bush's foreign policy is probably reason to think that Bush's foreign policy isn't good (because EVEN Carter, as bad of a reputation as he has in dealing with foreign policy matters, is willing to say that Bush is terrible). And if you agree with that assumption, then the joke works better. If you don't, then it doesn't. Or something like that... T:Porter,

I don't know enough about Carter to judge whether or not he has any foreign policy skills. But if the assumption is that he doesn't, then I'm not sure he's the best to judge whether or not somebody else does. Yeah, my thoughts are more in line with those of Thomas, I think.
