Jimmy Carter has always been a dupe of dictators around the world, from Cambodia whom he surrendered to the Khmer Rouge, to Mugabe in Africa, to China with regard to Taiwan, to North Korea and to Chavez in Venezuela.

His track record of conceited, pompous sympathy for dictators represents a batting average of 500 - for the other team.

What came of the nuclear agreement HE made with North Korea? North Korea was violating it before the ink was dry.

I know, but I was merely saddling Carter with the dismal record of the Democrats..... Bush Republicans have not been much use, either!

For such a smart guy, Jimmy Carter is really dumb, or naive, or both.

One would think this guy would have lost a little bit of his stupid over the last forty years. No such luck.

"Move America Forward today will call upon Carter to provide a full accounting of his meetings and conversations with Samir Vincent, who yesterday pleaded guilty to participating in numerous illegal activities as part of the U.N. scandal.": Jimmy Carter linked to oil-for-food scam Ex-president worked with key figure in scandal combating Iraqi sanctions

"Tongsun Park (born 1935 in Sunch'ŏn, Korea), also known as Pak Dong-seon, was a South Korean lobbyist. He was involved in two political money-related scandals: Koreagate in the 1970s, and the Oil-for-Food Program scandal of the 2000s. . .In 1976, Park was charged with bribing members of the U.S. Congress, using money from the South Korean government, in a successful effort to convince the United States government to keep United States troops in South Korea. . .In 1992, Park was approached by Samir Vincent, an Iraqi-born American who was lobbying unofficially on behalf of the Saddam Hussein regime, to try to create a program that would bypass the United Nations-approved economic sanctions of Iraq that had started in 1991. Park agreed, requesting a payment of US$10 million for his effort, to which Vincent agreed. Park served as a liaison between Vincent and then-United Nations Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali, with whom Park was friendly. In late 1996, partly as a result of Park's lobbying efforts, the U.N. Oil-for-Food Program began. After 1997, when Kofi Annan became the new secretary-general, the government of Iraq dropped its ties with Park; by then Park had received about US$2 million in payments. . .According to the Federal Bureau of Prisons Web site, he was released from prison on September 10, 2008. The next day, he left the United States for South Korea. . .":Tongsun Park

"And when Mr. Strong became Mr. Annan's personal envoy to North Korea from 2003 to 2005, he turned, as he later acknowledged, to Mr. Park -- born in what is now North Korea -- for advice.": Central Park [Tongsun Park]

"Back in 1994, President Clinton prepared to confront North Korea over CIA reports it had built nuclear warheads and its subsequent threats to engulf Japan and South Korea in “a sea of fire.” Enter self-appointed peacemaker Carter: The ex-prez scurried off to Pyongyang and negotiated a sellout deal that gave North Korea two new reactors and $5 billion in aid in return for a promise to quit seeking nukes. Clinton embraced this appeasement as achieving “an end to the threat of nuclear proliferation on the Korean Peninsula” — with compliance verified by international inspectors. Carter wound up winning the Nobel Peace Prize for his dubious efforts. But in 2002, the North Koreans ’fessed up: They’d begun violating the accord on Day One. Four years later, Pyongyang detonated its first nuke. . .": You can thank Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton for North Korea's nukes

Jimmy is right on most of his statement. His is forgetting the most important part though .....the threat of total assured destruction is the reason we will get a treaty.

The worst fool is an old fool. Jimmy, just go away. It has already been established that you were a terrible President. Do not re-confirm that conclusion.

Didn’t he have a supposedly terminal brain tumor FOUR years ago?!

I think that was a terminal wad of Saddam's oil voucher proceeds given to his library courtesy Samir Vincent and Shaker el Khafaji .

Whatever Jimmy...you and the other globalist appeasers have done nothing but make North Korea stronger and more belligerent. A grown up is making policy now.
