Even if the arabs managed to kill Carter, I doubt Obama would respond against them.

Sure he would. He and Hillary would express their deep concern, and threaten to take the matter to the UN Security Council for further sanctions.

"How irrelevant is Jimmy Carter?

Why won?t he just go away?

Does he truly think he, alone, can bring peace to the middle east? And he actually thinks that Hamas should be taken off the ?terrorist? list?

All rhetorical questions of course....

Actually, he might be cutting in on Obama's belief that only he, Dear Leader, can bring peace to the Middle East. That could be more dangerous to the peanut than anything else.

The very least the attack could have done was cream his limo, and given him a heart attack. Carter has never done anything good for this country and his years in office were a disaster. Many Presidents have gone down the same road. Jimmy Carter not only goes down the road, he consistently trashes this country and our best friends around the world. The struggling Democracy in Israel is at the top of his hate list.

Huh? How come IEDs aimed at Jimmy Carter can be “discovered” and destroyed, but those targeting our troops explode? Hmmmmmmmm?

“As much as I hate and despise Jimmuh, I would not want him to be assassinated.”

Yep. Gagging and choking, partisanship stops at the border, even if it means wishing an old anti-semite like Carter well.

I don’t think I have read any news report that has so filled me with ambivalent feelings.

“al Qaida hid a number of improved explosive devices along a road”

How about a number of “improvised” explosives devices”

Thanks for the link. It appears my kid brother knows more about building houses than Jimmy Carter. Considering my pet guinea pig understands more about the nature of Islamofacism (she has the sense to pee on newprint photos of BO), I guess it isn’t a stretch.

I see. Guess that rabbit is still chasing Jimmy.

The MSM will claim it was a killer rabbi...

Google the video clip of Mike Wallace and Peter Jennings talking about loyalty "as Americans" vs. being an "objective" journalist when you learn of the enemy targeting US troops.

They won't intervene to save US lives.

You must be able to predict the future, as Commment No. 28 was, indeed, removed by AdminModerator.

I guess we’re not the only side that has to worry about friendly fire incidents.
