According to the newest chapter of the Gospel According to St. Jimmy Carter in The Bible of Liberalism (The New York Times), he and he alone solved the North Korea nuclear crisis in 1994, only to have President Bush screw it up with his "Axis of Evil" declaration in 2002. Not since "I did not have sexual relations with that woman" has the world heard such a crock.
Here's what really happened and why Jimmy Carter is responsible for North Korea acquiring atomic capabilities:
Under Bill Clinton's watch, North Korea reneged on its obligations under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and prepared to convert nuclear fuel rods at its facility in Yongbyon into weapons-grade plutonium. While Mr. Clinton sought worthless U.N. sanctions, the Pentagon drafted plans to send U.S. forces to protect South Korea.
But Mr. Clinton chickened out and sent Mr. Carter, who hastily negotiated the Agreed Framework with the North and announced its terms over CNN. Though Mr. Clinton thought the Framework would prove worthless, he signed it on Oct. 21, 1994, just to guild his image as a peacemaker. Within hours, North Korea's violations began. Meanwhile, America spent the next eight years living up to its end of the bargain by delivering copious foreign aid to the North.
While the Clinton administration's attention was distracted by Bosnia and bimbos and Mr. Carter was making the world safe for communist regimes and Islamic terrorists, the North Koreans merrily went about processing their nuclear material. In October 2002, they finally admitted they had centrifuges, which were forbidden under the Framework, for processing enriched uranium. The Bush administration promptly and wisely canceled the feckless Framework, but by then, the damage Mr. Carter had done was irreversible.
Always the appeaser and seemingly eager to prove you can fool some of the people all of the time, Mr. Carter now proposes that America return to the negotiating table: "The simple framework for a step-by-step agreement exists, with the United States giving a firm and direct statement of no hostile intent, and moving toward normal relations if North Korea forgoes any further nuclear weapons program and remains at peace with its neighbors."
Is he senile or just delusional? What should happen next is for Mr. Carter to go back to Plains, Ga., crack a Billy Beer and leave foreign-policy decisions to people unwilling to be the sycophants of communist tyrants.
The leftist, imbecilic, peanut-brained architect of the Panama Canal giveaway could literally screw up a steel ball with a rubber mallet!
No, he is quite deliberately evil.
My defense...I was a stupid, naive, (first time voter) college student who had no idea what I was doing. I plead ignorance and insanity. "Get out the vote" is a mistake. Only those that are informed on the issues should have the privilege of voting.
Epilogue...I am very happy to report that was the one and ONLY time I voted for a DemocRat.
Thanks for the ping...I feel better coming out of the closet!
Both.
wagglebee - I completely agree with your points. Carter is a danger to free people everywhere.
I honestly do not think it is a stretch to say that Carter was a true "Manchurian Candidate."
I know how fun it is to make fun of the Clinton years, but the reality is that they were an absolute joy compared to Carter's term. If Carter had not betrayed the Shah of Iran (who was one of the staunchest allies America EVER had), we likely would not be having the problems with Islamofascism that we are today. He also betrayed Taiwan, handed Nicaragua to the communists, had no idea that the Soviets were about to invade Afghanistan and managed to do more damage to our economy than anyone ever imagined was possible. I really doubt that America would be a superpower today if Reagan had lost in 1980.
It's VERY embarassing, and he didn't have the excuse of youth and inexperience . . .
Yes, Carter is the donkey's ass (an ass' ass) and BJ Clintoon is the donkey's stomach (all appetite, no brain).
Senile, deluded, twisted, moronic, stupid, uninformed, ignorant, foolish, dangerous, naive, etc, etc...
I just saw Stansfield Turner on Fox a little while ago....from Jimmah's Administration...
I didn't hear the whole interview, but his last line was something about how we need to "get to know" Kim and other leaders that we disagree...
OOPSY...because earlier, I saw a clip of the interview that Bill O'Reilly has done with President Bush...(airing over 3 nights..ugh)...and he specifically asks Bush if he has even spoken personally with Kim Jong-Il...and Bush says, "No"...and when asked if any of his closest advisors had...he said "no"....
Well....doncha know that left are gonna LOVE to make a big deal about that.
you missed jimmuh's hallmark and most important trait: incompetent
Yeah, Jimmy Peanut "got to know" Kim's father so well that he (Carter) lied to the US public and the world, lied to the Clinton WH, did everything possible to force the 1994 agreement through..... I'm going to have to buy that book by Marion Creekmore (liberal weasel), much as I hate to give money to such a moron, because there are just too many juicy items in there which have to be reproduced here and around the web...... such as when Carter writes a fawning, groveling letter to Kim Jong-Ill's father (who was in power until his death later in 1994). Carter tells the despot that he (Carter) hopes that Comrade Kim Il Sung's "dream" of a unified Korea will be realized....... as though Kim Il Sung's "dream of unification" could be realized under any conditions not appalling to South Korea and the USA!!
I believe the former CIC (Carter in Canoe) is suffering from "Senile Delusionality". That is where dumb old ideas seem new and wonderful.
b) Delusional
c) Both of the above
The correct answer is "C"!
It's pretty tough when one cannot dig deep and at least offer a little compliment to someone. Not that I will lose any sleep over it.
Jimmy loved his mama, Miss Lillian.
There's a compliment for him.
This is an important thread!
