Boy, I was really surprised to read sometime ago some quotes from Carter that sounded almost hostile to Israel. I used to think Carter was just a naive, misinformed, very poor ex-President, but I now think he's a vain, sanctimonious blow-hard.
You probably know this already, but in case you don't, during the Hostage crisis, Carter sent 16 EMPTY F-16s to Saudia Arabia as a 'show of force'. Can you believe that? He was and is a witless man, and I don't care if he does have a degree in Nuclear Engineering. He still is intellectually mediocre, at best!
