Jimmy Carter - the man who push for and got an islamic republic in Iran that started this whole mess with global jihad. Then made the USA look absolutely pathetic in dealing with the hostage crisis. He is the WORST modern president.

He is also the most horrid ex-president, we have ever had.

He should stick to building houses for poor people, and stay out of foreign policy!

What so many don't know, or seem to forget that Carter has been a friend of feinds; Castro, Chavez, Aristed, warlords Mohamed and Hussein Aideed to name a few....read on:

Jimmy Carter (Democrat) pulled us out of the Olympics, and hurt the American farmer when he halted the sale of wheat to Russia in response to the soviet invasion of Afghanistan. His brother was given $250,000 from the terrorist nation of Libya, while his . He allowed 50 diplomats at our embassy to become hostages of terrorists in Iran. For 5 months Carter (Democrat) allowed those people to be held, while he attempted "diplomatic" and "economic" pressure to free them. This failed. His ill planned military rescue attempt ended with 3 damaged helicopters and 8 dead military troops. The hostages were held for over 14 months. When Ronald Reagan (a Republican) was elected President, the captors fearfully offered to negotiate release of the hostages. They were freed while Mr. Reagan (Republican) took his oath of office.

In 1993, clinton (Democrat) expanded the limited humanitarian mission in Somalia, to include rebuilding the nation. The UN "peacekeepers" embarked on a war against Somali warlord Mohamed Farah Aideed. clinton (Democrat) included our troops in this war. Aideed and the Somalis never attacked us. In October, the forces of Aideed brought down two U.S. Black Hawk helicopters, in Mogadishu and precipitated a vicious daylong firefight, wounding 77 and killing 18 Americans, whose naked, mutilated bodies were drug through the streets. This horrifying act was broadcast around the world. This, despite clinton (Democrat) sending former President Carter (Democrat) to negotiate peace talks with Aideed. Afterward, clinton declined to bring Aideed to justice, when offered his capture by frightened clan allies, instead clinton (Democrat) decided to cut and run--quit the mission in Somalia. In fact, two months later to the day, US soldiers were escorting Aideed to the Mogadishu airport by motorcade and flying him to Addis Ababa in a US Army airplane! Aideed remained in power until Aug. 1995. Clinton's retreat broadcast a signal of weakness around the world. It sent a message to our foes, that America will change her policies if terrorists kill our people. During the war with Aideed, the clinton administration sent Mohamed Aideed's son, Hussein to Somalia as a Marine Corps translator. He left the military, and remained in Somalia, becoming a warlord himself and being responsible for the deaths and displacement of 50,000 Somali's. clinton (Democrat) invaded Haiti. Haiti never attacked us. A brokered deal instigated by former President Carter (Democrat), allowed clinton (Democrat) to send in our military to place Jean-Bertrand Aristide in power, knowing full well what a despot the man was. This is one of foreign policy’s all-time worst liberal bungles. Today, the disastrous results of Clinton’s experiment in Caribbean colonialism are painfully evident. On Oct. 12, 2000, terrorists bombed the USS Cole as it sat in the Yemeni port of Aden. The bomb killed 17 U.S. sailors. American officials quickly linked the attack to bin Laden and al-Qaeda. Nothing was done.
