Good idea. He can go cry with Castro.
Um, no. Sadat and Begin came together when Sadat visited Israel in 1977. Carter was just the hotel manager, when Sadat and Begin needed someplace quiet to go to hammer out the details.
You wrote my new tagline. Brilliantly succint analysis.
Someday, if history repeats itself, we are going to lose the tremendous freedoms that we have. When that happens, those who "wail" about how "unpeaceful" things are will either get louder, because that's what they do, or will become nonexistent - because they are the first ones that will be imprisoned or killed.
I pray that I am wrong. History seems to indicate otherwise, though.
He will, within the next twenty years. And we who remain will still be dealing with his problems.
Good grief. Do you really think that matters? These folks are insane fanatics. With or without comments from Carter. He's as irrelevent to events in the Middle East as he ever has been.
Earth To Jimmy Cawtaw,How many have died since your PHONY "PEACE"???
Well,doesn't he have a Nobel PEACE Prize?Oh,I almost forgot,so does Yassir!!!
Surely you remember. Sadat was embraced by his fellow adherents to the Religion of Peace and we haven't heard a peep from the Islamists since then.
Unfortunately right now, it's a numbers game. Of the four living ex-presidents, half of them are Democrat, one is not really talking (Ford at 93) and the other is the father of our current President. (and then there's Hillary)
I guess the solution is to make fewer Democrat X-presidents, and let the existing ones die off. What will happen is, when these two terrorist enablers die, the coverage will dwarf what the media was "forced" to cover when Ronald Reagan died. I don't remember the coverage for Nixon, and I was too young when LBJ died. But I can only imagine the puff pieces that the DBM will do on Jimmah and Bubbah.
Sadat was shot, and don't call me "Shirley." ;)
My apologies! :)
I do. Gasoline on fire.
Hey Jimmy, if you hate this country so much, why don't you Move to Russia so you can hang out with your dead buddy Breshnev, and your living buddy, Vladimir Putin.
Too many damn people with money they didn't earn by hard work. They earned it by BS'ing their way in life. That's the only explanation I have for such liberals.
My brother said that Jimmy Carter wasn't fit to lick George W's boots.I said you're wrong Bruce,he's fit to lick ANYONE'S boots.
This has to be about the third time this week Carter has made some public statement about something he neither understands or appreciates-it's getting more than a little tiresome.
what a slop bag.
He should, but he won't. What is his problem?
Naivete? Pride? Inability to feel shame? Or is he just plain evil?
From Jay Nordlinger, Carter expert :
For years, Carter has been a thorn in the side of presidents, acting as a kind of "anti-president," as Lance Morrow once put it in an essay for Time. You recall how Carter irked Clinton on Haiti and North Korea. His low moment, however, came during the run-up to the [first] Gulf War, when he wrote members of the U.N. Security Council - including Mitterrand's France and Communist China - urging them to thwart the Bush administration's effort. Our government found out about it when the Canadian prime minister, Brian Mulroney, called the defense secretary, Dick Cheney, and said, "What the . . .?" Then there's billionaire terrorist Yasser Arafat (as Nordlinger notes, "Arabs are heavy-duty funders of the Carter Center, and they get a lot for their money"):
After the Gulf War, Saudi Arabia was mad at Arafat, because the PLO chief had sided with Saddam Hussein. So Arafat asked Carter to fly to Riyadh to smooth things over with the princes and restore Saudi funding to him - which Carter did.
At their first meeting - in 1990 - Carter boasted of his toughness toward Israel, assuring Arafat at one point, ". . . you should not be concerned that I am biased. I am much more harsh with the Israelis." Arafat, for his part, railed against the Reagan administration and its alleged "betrayals." Rosalynn Carter, taking notes for her husband, interjected, "You don't have to convince us!" Brinkley records that this "elicited gales of laughter all round." Carter himself, according to Brinkley, "agreed that the Reagan administration was not renowned as promise keepers" (this, to Arafat).
After Carter had that first meeting with Arafat, he went home and promptly served the PLO head as PR adviser and speechwriter. What do I mean? Listen to Brinkley: "On May 24 Carter drafted on his home computer the strategy and wording for a generic speech Arafat was to deliver soon for Western ears . . ." Said Carter, "The audience is not the Security Council, but the world community. The objective of the speech should be to secure maximum sympathy and support of other world leaders . . . The Likud leaders are now on the defensive, and must not be given any excuse for continuing their present abusive policies."
There's Carter sucking up to dictators:
While in office, Carter hailed Yugoslavia's Tito as "a man who believes in human rights." He said of Romania's barbaric Ceausescu and himself, "Our goals are the same: to have a just system of economics and politics . . . We believe in enhancing human rights." While out of office, Carter has praised Syria's late Assad (killer of at least 20,000 in Hama) and the Ethiopian tyrant Mengistu (killer of many more than that). In Haiti, he told the dictator CC)dras that he was "ashamed of what my country has done to your country."
He did even better in North Korea, singing praises to Kim Il Sung, one of the most complete and destructive dictators in history. . . . Said Carter of the "Great Leader," "I find him to be vigorous, intelligent, surprisingly well informed about the technical issues, and in charge of the decisions about this country" . . . He said, "I don't see that they [the North Koreans] are an outlaw nation." Pyongyang, he observed, was a "bustling city," where shoppers "pack the department stores," reminding him of the "Wal-Mart in Americus, Georgia."
