Because Carter has been wrong about damn near everything and didn’t want to damage his legacy?

>>>Why Is Jimmy Carter So Disastrously Wrong on the Middle East? <<<

The short answer is; Habit!

Carter is a guy that has been wrong his entire life, wrong on the Shah, wrong on inflation, wrong on gas, heating oil and sweaters, wrong on North Korea, wrong on election monitoring of untold numbers of Communists including Hugo Chavez.....

What the hell else can we expect from him....revoke his passport and cellphone!

[ought-six]

Easy. He hates Jews.

[elhombrelibre]

This one is too easy. He's a disaster because he impugns the motives of the US and its allies while being naively willing to accept the good will of those who are pledged to destroy the US, Israel, civilization, and all that is good in the world. The man is a moron at best and an evil person at worst.

Why Is Jimmy Carter So Disastrously Wrong on the Middle East?

He's being consistent.

He's been disatrously wrong on virtually every issue since entering public life, so why change now?

“Navy to Commission Attack Submarine Jimmy Carter....”

Can we all say oxymoron!...It should have been named the attack submarine Rabbit Whacker.....

Why Is Jimmy Carter So Disastrously Wrong on the Middle East?

The answer is obvious.

Because Carter is RESPONSIBLE for much of the modern mid-East problems.

He backs Hamas because Hamas is a creature of Iran. Carter enables the current Iran when he cold-shouldered the Shah.

That's why Carter stands almost alone in his position. He sees the US repudicating his policy as President and is terrified for his legacy.

[EGPWS]

Why Is Jimmy Carter So Disastrously Wrong on the Middle East?

It's simple, because he hasn't changed and always will be a liberal Democrat.

He was wrong and totally oblivious as President and he STILL is.

The worst president of the 20th century!

I didn't vote for Carter in 1976 (a former Canadian who
became a US citizen in 1974 ... my first oppportunity to vote) because I felt Carter, as a one term Governor of Georgia, didn't have the experience and background to be President. I voted for Gerald Ford who, of course, lost.
Carter was such a abysmal failure as President I'm proud of the fact I've continued to vote Republican these many election cycles since.

...because Jimmy Carter’s head has lodged itself in a very dark, personal space and Ole Rabbit Teeth cannot remove it.

[engrpat]

I think the long and short answer is the blames Israel for his loss and failure to get a second term. In his mind if Israel would have done what he wanted there would have been peace and he would have been the national hero.
