Former US president slaps down 'subservient' Blair (Peanut head)

Former US president Jimmy Carter lashed out at British Prime Minister Tony Blair for being "so compliant and subservient" to the Bush administration in Washington.

"I have been surprised and extremely disappointed with Tony Blair's behaviour," Carter told the Sunday Telegraph newspaper as he promoted his new book "Faith and Freedom."

"I think that, more than any other person in the world, the prime minister could have had a moderating influence on Washington, and he has not," said the 81-year-old former head of state.

He faulted Blair for not having been a constraint on US President George W. Bush's decision to invade Iraq in March 2003 -- an invasion which, he said, subverted the fight against global terrorism.

"We now have a situation where America is so unpopular overseas that, even in countries like Egypt and Jordan, our approval ratings are less than five percent," said Carter, who was in the White House from 1977 to 1981.

"It's a shameful and pitiful state of affairs, and I hold your British prime minister to be substantially responsible for being so compliant and subservient."

AND THE SENILE S.O.B. SAYS THIS ON FOREIGN SOIL!

[Paradox]

I used to say the Carter was the best EX-President we ever had. Now, it is clear, that he is the WORST ex-president of the last century at least.

[thoughtomator]

You beat me to it.

[kinoxi]

This is sad, but the old man could do more for humanity at this point by just dying.

Wouldn't hurt my feelings if this worthless caitiff stayed Over There - let the French feed him.

I hate to be the one to say it,but it's time for Jimmy to be institutionalized.

Second Ping

First one was deleted. I said a bad thing :(

"I have been surprised and extremely disappointed with Tony Blair's behaviour"

Of course, nobody was ever disappointed with the ineffective, irresponsible, and destructive behavior of the failed presidency of this loser.

Former US president Jimmy Carter lashed out at British Prime Minister Tony Blair

What are we supposed to do with Democrat former Presidents who won't honor tradition and stay out of foreign policy matters?

[decal]

Impolitic, perhaps, but not bad. Had one deleted saying the same thing on another thread.

And you know, it doesn't mean the Mods necessarily disagree with the sentiments ;)

[ncountylee]

Will the despicable Carter dump on Mr. Howard next?

[paudio]

I think he's a megalomaniac who enjoys sucking up from the leftists--regardless where they are from... Losing reelection to a Hollywood actor perhaps hurt his feeling so much that he wants to prove to the world that he's the greatest of all, and the American was wrong to send him home in 1980...

[I still care]

How did anyone who hates his own country so much ever get to be president?

Maybe he's still mad about this:

[catholicfreeper]

You know this is so bizaree I cant even imagine Carter saying this. This should like be on the Onion or something.

[pennboricua]

No I believe it is time for Blair to respond leaving all diplomacy aside and ask if this is the same Carter that during his presidency allowed sovereign American soil to be invaded and American citizens to be held as prisoners for 444 days, that ran the most inept White House in history and feared vicious rabbits.

[California Patriot]

Possibly a new low in classlessness, even for Jimmah.
What an utter turd.

It would be nice to see this.

Here's what America thought of 4 years of Jimmy Carter:

So why does anyone listen to him? Or buy his books?

[MikeA]

The Traitor speaks again! Someone given him a straw hat, some overalls and a reed of long grass to dangle from his lips and send him back under a tree in Georgia.

This loser has constantly violated all protocol of being an ex-president by attacking a sitting president and now even allied governments. And this is the dumbass who constantly accuses Bush of ALIENATING allies even as he insults one of our most important??

And please note this man speaks glowingly of the former North Korean tyrannt, Kim Il Jong, yet attacks a brave and stalwart ally like Blair. I guess Jim Bob is just jealous Bush actually has foreign allies, unlike him about whom the world thought was such a laughing stock they'd do nothing for him or our country during his watch.

I have more respect for Clinton than I do this asshat.

"We now have a situation where America is so unpopular overseas

Because of people like you, Murtha, Kerry, Kennedy, etc. I think you get the picture Mr.Peanut.

[SuziQ]

Carter always was, and always will be, a GOOBER!

[AmeriBrit]

let the French feed him.

To get to France he'd have to go across the channel and hopefully they'd make him swim [that would be one way of getting rid of the hateful coot]

[RobbyS]

What an arrogant POS!

[Darkwolf377]

Carter is simply one of those wannabes who found the key to gaining acceptance by the intelligencia: Say bad things about your country. If you say positive things about a group, a party, a company, a nation, you're not serious enough for the Noam Chomsky crowd. If you bash, then you're one of them, because you see through the lies and deception, to the truth that the world and everyone in it is miserable, bad, evil and just wrong.

The Left mainlines cynicism because they never left that high school moody-guy stage. Their souls are dressed all in black, and wear sullen expressions. To gain their regard, as Carter has, all you have to do is say "----- sucks".

[RobbyS]

Howard would have a few choice words in reply.

"We now have a situation where America is so unpopular overseas that, even in countries like Egypt and Jordan, our approval ratings are less than five percent," said Carter, who was in the White House from 1977 to 1981.

Two points:

1. Leadership is not looking at polling information to determine what is the right path to take or policy to pursue.
2. In countries like Egypt and Jordan a plurality if not a majority of the population think that the US and Israel conspired to crash aircraft in the WTC on 9/11. With ignorance like that - why would one care about approval ratings?

[decal]

I just had a revelation.

This waste of food is doing this in order to make BJ Clinton look good by comparison, to pave the way for Mrs Clinton's run for the Presidency. She must have HIS file, too.

[Berlin_Freeper]

Whatever happened to Blair's "very good friend" Bill Clinton?

[Soul Seeker]

Says the worst President to ever be elected to serve this country.

Quite a feat for a ONE TERMER Jimmy.

I really doubt Blair cares what you have to say.

jimmuh with a fellow terrorist


Hey jimmuh, hold it right there, faith and freedom are to be removed from your vocabulary. You, single handedly have done more to help spread terrorism as the first "do nothing" lib pres who starts with a 'c'. Jimmuh...join the hezbo's...your a worthless P.O.S. and I fail to recognize you as being from the same country as I am!

[top 2 toe red]

Lillian, it's a little late to close the barn door after the horse is already out.

[AmeriBrit]

You could be right, I'd almost bet on it.

That reminds me, I wonder if the Clintons ever paid the back taxes they owed?

[top 2 toe red]

I have more respect for Clinton than I do this asshat.

Me, too...and I don't have a thimble full of respect for Clinton.

[Not just another dumb blonde]

Someone needs to tell him he's not President anymore. And nobody cares what he has to say.

[StarfireIV]

The only thing Jimmy Carter should slap down is a few lithium to calm his frequent bouts of dilusionary visions of importance disorder.

[perfect stranger]

[lndrvr1972]

I really think that this man is losing it. He is so critical about everyone but his own presidency..

[F.J. Mitchell]

I am with you...I think. To hell with approval ratings and popularity contests! Let's do what is right and to hell with the consequences!

[rvoitier]

Thank God he's not in power and the ones who do have power shun him.

[David1]

This from a man who was a total disaster as president.

[perfect stranger]

He is so critical about everyone but his own presidency..

Don't forget Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez and Kim Jong.

[ladyinred]

What is the matter with this idiot anyway? Blair is just trying to protect his own nation from freaking Islamic terrorists as is Bush! Too bad Carter and Clinton didn't!!!! What a freaking moron!

[scan58]

Quite a landslide. I voted for carter the first time...I learned the next time.

We need to get our color back. The democrats were always represented by red and the Republicans represented by blue ever since I can remember. They hijacked our blue, but the red sure fits them better.

[Finalapproach29er]

Like brother like brother.

He's Billy Carter, with a better haircut.
