"So we don't talk to Iran, we don't talk to Syria, we don't talk to the Palestinian government, we don't talk to North Korea, we don't talk to any leaders around the world who disagree with us and this is where the problems arise," he said.

LOL.... Oh, yeah, and all the Clintonista hot air with Arafart & friends, North Korea, and Iran achieved soooooo much in the '90s!! STFU Jimmy, you worthless piece of peanut refuse..... your weasel methods have been tried extensively and have been a grotesque failure over and over again. YOU, Jimmy, gave us no advances and many catastrophes such as the Iranian revolution that you contributed to so well.

Carter is liable to say anything except the truth.

Me too along with Ted Kennedy and a few others.

This isn't even news. It's not just old washed-up has beens like Carter. Sitting Senator John Kerry, the most recent Democrat Party Nominee for the Presidency of the United States, blithely called the sitting President a torturer in his "major foreign policy speech" just a month ago. Of course many other Democrats, including other high elected officials and party leaders have said much the same.

Thirty, even fifteen, years ago not a single American would have believed such behavior (without immediate repercussion) even possible. It's stunning what has happened to a once great party.

Yes. Just remember that Carter would call it torture if a terrorist detainee was bitch slapped. Ridiculous. I'm waiting for a Dukakis moment in the next presidential election. Question to Senator McCain: "Would you pull the fingernails off a terrorists if it would save a million Ameican lives? " McCain: "No, I wouldn't, we can't lower ourselves to their level."

Someone should ask Mc Cain or any other media parrot that mentions tortuer,"From your own personal knowledge, can you name who was tortured and the methods used?"

I do not believe that they could answer.

You know how I define torture? Being forced to listen to Jimmy Carter babble. I mean, someone should be embaressed by his behavior. It is very telling that no one in the Democratic party sees fit to disagree with the nonsense he spouts.

I half wonder if he isn't starting to suffer from dementia.

Remember what the hardcore chipheads used to say?
"Webbies are great fun ... especially when thrown by the tail for distance."

[nopardons]

That an old one!

What was dangerous for Webbies ( probably still is ), was that nasties, who were on computers, could and did fry the WebTV box, if they felt like getting back at you.

"Carter says"

Hey, remember when his wife decided to let in the Hatian Boat People? That was before we knew about AIDS.
