The Damage of Jimmy Carter

Carter's Hamas meeting legitimizes terrorism

Posted April 18, 2008

The peace process is difficult enough without Carter's lies. He says U.N. Resolution 242 specifies an Israeli withdrawal to the 1967 border. It does not. The author of the resolution, British U.N. Ambassador Lord Caradon, has spelled it out. A book by Ken Stein, Carter's principal colleague on his previous trips to the Middle East, attacks the veracity of Carter's accounts of meetings with various leaders by which Carter justifies his anti-Israeli position.

A senior foreign policy official summed it all up: "Carter is an idiot savant," he said with a sigh. "But hold the savant!"

Jimmy Carter,first American ex-president to be a traitor to his country

While the press may assail Jimmy's trips, may it also note, the parellel confusion of the American government issuing an arrest warrant for a master chess player for participation in a chess game rematch against a former world chessmaster adversary Spassky in Yugoslavia in 1992 in defiance of the UN's embargo.

Jimmy, a former president and peanut farmer, is able to fly around the world learning to teach terrorists about good will and love for their fellow man and misrepresent America's foreign policy, and therefore, my question is why is Jimmy not a criminal or have an arrest warrant issued to him.

Jimmy can do what he wants, insult successor presidents and invoke his foreign policy, acting like a layman practing law without a license, or making fraudulent claims with the assistance of foreign heads of states or institutions in name of his quasi-political agenda as private citizen/ex-president of the USA, but as long as he does not play chess, he is not breaking the law. What is going on?

As former president, he holds title to top secret information and therefore is a liability and should have been prosecuted. He should have had his passport and title as president of the USA revoked, and sent to Guantonoma, to do what he does best, growing peanuts, to feed to his muslim brethren...call it community service. At least our American soldiers who fought under his leadership (Lebanon and Iran hostage rescue failure) will not be dismayed anymore with the thought of having such a buffoon to lead this great nation into military action again.

False statements

After much research I'm tired of the endless bashing of israel with false information, such as "the real terrorist". Israel has never gone in anywhere when they weren't under fire by those who'd said in writing their goal -- to wipe Israel off the face of the earth.

Dear Likud/Hamas

Likud's new party also lead by Sharon, Kadmina, withdrew from Gaza. It does not throw leaders of other Israel political parties off roofs so that there is no one for Arabs to talk wtih. They do not have a charter with a goal of destroying others. Their charter talks about compromise & peace! Try it sometime.
