Britain and other European governments should break from the US over the international embargo on Gaza, former US president Jimmy Carter told the Guardian yesterday. Carter, visiting the Welsh border town of Hay for the Guardian literary festival, described the EU's position on the Israeli-Palestinian dispute as "supine" and its failure to criticise the Israeli blockade of Gaza as "embarrassing". Referring to the possibility of Europe breaking with the US in an interview with the Guardian, he said: "Why not? They're not our vassals. They occupy an equal position with the US."

Can a former president be tried for treason?
Only Jummah would encourage taking it “lying down” on memorial day
Jimmy continues his bizarre behavior. I must admit he surprised even me by laying a wreath at the grave of Yasser Arafat. Stunningly insulting to all thew Jews, Arabs, Europeans and Americans maimed and murdered by that thug and his henchmen.
No wonder he’s in the bag for Obama. Birds of a feather, that sort of thing.
Typical for the traitor Carter, trying to undermine US policy in foreign lands. Has there ever been a more despicable ex-President? Before Jimmy C. there was a well-established tradition that ex-Presidents did not get into the political fray and instead either retired completely from public life or else devoted themselves to ceremonial and bi-partisan types of events. This was for the very good reasonn that it was better to have any living ex-Presidents be symbols of political unity and the basic enduring principles on which America was founded.
Jimmy C., in his egotism and mania for power and influence, totally trashed this tradition and has been just another partisan hack for the Demagogues.
‘Can a former president be tried for treason?’
my first thought too...except I thought he “should” be tried for treason!
This is over the line. Don’t let him back in the country
Hay festival, eh. Good place for a gelded scarecrow with sawdust for brains to be on Memorial Day.
It doesn't really matter what "XXX" and "YYY" are - just the grammatical form of the sentence alone strikes me as treasonous.
God I’m f#$king sick of this treasonous piece of sh!t meddling in our foreign policy. You’d think he’d be content with the damage his miserable, failed presidency did to this great nation.
No wonder he started Habitats for Humanity out of guilt. He ripped people off during the early 1980s with his 18.5% home loan interest rates.
But I bet Obama can top an 18.5% interest rate. You just watch!
Strike that comment, but you all know what I mean
Is there a way to ah...get the ball rolling?
Has there ever been anyone like him since Benedict Arnold?
‘Carter, visiting the Welsh border town of Hay for the Guardian literary festival, described the EU’s position on the Israeli-Palestinian dispute as “supine” and its failure to criticise the Israeli blockade of Gaza as “embarrassing”.’
The most embarrassing thing I can think of is Jimmy Carter.
What a buffoon.
Probably not. I wish he’d just go quietly into the night. His lack of shame is astounding. If I screwed something up as badly as he did I’d kill myself.
30 years from now I hope we won’t read about ex-President Obama pulling off this sh*t. No Hussein presidency.
I wish President Bush would, in fact, rebuke the old fart vigorously. Then the democrats would have to rally to Jimmy’s side right square in the middle of the election campaign, at considerable political cost. Probably the reason Carter is overseas is to keep him off the skyline here in the U.S. so he doesn’t upstage Hillary and BO with his gaffes.
The beauty of being raised in a land in which men and women will die for, among other things, the right to free speech, is that no one will prevent you from opening your mouth and showing the entire world what spineless ass you are, if you happen to be one.
bitter-ex-president-pimping-for-a-legacy alert.
He has no shame
Is there any chance Jimmy might relocate to the Gaza?
Well, in strictly feudal terms, Europe is more like the militarily impotent peasants cowering in the fortified castle protected by the military might of the feudal lord when danger comes around.
Unlike in a feudal society, the modern-day Europeans expect that military protection from America as if it were a European Union birth right.
Without U.S. military power, Europe would be begging Iran and Russia for oil at any price.
With Jimmy Carter policies in effect, America would be without any credible or effective military power.
I would be perfectly content with the Europeans taking on the responsibility of solving the Israel/Palestinian problem.
Not that it justifies what he did, but even the British detested him for his traitorous action afterward.
Carter doesn't really have any achievements to point to, and he's lionized by the left only to poke America in the eye.
Carter has plenty of company, though, with Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, B.Hussein Obama, Jim McDermott, Jay Rockefeller, ...
Good. Let him go be a pest in Europe.
I stand corrected! :)
Give this imbecile a one-way to ticket to live in Gaza with the terrorists. He wouldn’t last 24 hours.
Are any of you kind freepers psychoanalysts/psychiatrists who can give us a good grip on his psychosis?
Thank you.

So Traitorous Jimmah calls the EU “supine”?
The Eurabians are already supine, but not for the reason he thinks.
One wonders just how deeply indebted this walking weasel must be, and to exactly whom.
So what is the mechanism via which Carter luanches media blitz (like the present one) when things have gotten too quiet for his own ego??
There are numerous “Carter says” stories that have just appeared this weekend. It is normally a time of memorials, parades, family, graduations-—but not a great deal of other news.
I like the idea of being HUNG for treason. If anyone deserves it, he does.
FUNNY farm is more like it, Bat.
The next time they scuttle one of the old Nuke Subs likw he was on, we should strap him in for a meeting with Davey Jones!!
Liberalism is truly a mental illness.
Will no one rid us of this meddlesome priest?
This colossal failure is becoming a major problem for America.
Mike now says Liberalism is a DANGEROUS Mental disorder.
Jimmy Carter once again reiterates the Democrat policy of comprehensive appeasement.
‘...whenever foreign policy is debated, ‘Jimmuh’ should be held up as an example of Democrat expertise in foreign policy...’
sad part is that the media won’t dwell on the despicable comments made by Carter and even sadder is that the Republicans...including McCain... don’t seem to have any ‘fight’ in them....whether it comes to Carter or Obama. The ‘R’s’ haven’t learned that they lost the 2006 Congress cause they ‘kissed up’ to the Dims rather than standing up for what’s right for our country.
