Jimmy Carter was on MSNBC's Hardball early last week, ostensibly to promote the new paperback edition of his widely panned 2003 novel, The Hornet's Nest, a Revolutionary War tale set in the Carolinas and Georgia. There's what appears to be a great lot of library-culled research in the book; it was seven years in the writing, Carter notes in his acknowledgments. So Hardball host Chris Matthews was curious whether the former president--"as an historian now and studying the Revolutionary War"--thought there might these days be something especially relevant about that subject. Specifically, about "the Revolutionary War as...[an] insurgency against a powerful British force," Matthews wondered whether President Carter saw "any parallels between the fighting we did on our side and the fighting that is going on in Iraq today?"
In other words: Whaddya think? Is Abu Musab al Zarqawi sorta like George Washington?
In response to which Jimmy Carter--who is just about the most embarrassing American alive, when you get right down to it--replied: Yes.

Ah yes, the president that turned Iran over to the Islamofascist, 12% unemployment, 20% interest rates, gas lines, then blames the American PEOPLE for Malaise. Yeah he's credible.
This man is a disgrace.
Carter just gave a powerful endorsement and recruiting tool to our enemies.
You forgot to mention the Panama Canal giveaway.
Oh yes, Reagan was against that little #, but Jimmuh hurriedly signed it away.
Gave a Traitor an Honorable Discharge.
No doubt about it, this guy has been losing brain cells at a rapid rate.....ever since he turned 25 years old.

I think that any story containing the names "Jimmy" and "Carter" in close proximity to eachother to be read while I am eating breakfast deserves a "report abuse" reply.
Why is he writing about or commenting on a war he said was unnecessary? Any true historian would see the necessity of revolution in the 1700's. Any liberal would see the necessity to pacify a tyrant.
And the Presidential directive that ALL lights must be turned off in Fed buildings at night and when the last person left a room. Then people actually think this guy has a brain.
The man who raised incompetence to an art form speaks; truly, those who Can't, Teach!
There is so much that it could fill a book on Presidential incompetence.
