Carter backs Pelosi's trip, despite Bush's rebuke
CNN ^ | 4/4/07 | Dugald McConnell

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Former President Jimmy Carter expressed his support for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's trip to Syria, rejecting White House criticism of the visit.

"I was glad that she went," Carter said Wednesday. "When there is a crisis, the best way to help resolve the crisis is to deal with the people who are instrumental in the problem."

Pelosi arrived in Syria on Tuesday, in an attempt to open direct dialogue with Syria's leader, something President Bush opposes. Pelosi also discussed with President Bashar Al-Assad concerns about Syria's support for militant groups.

Bush on Tuesday called the trip "counterproductive" and said it would send mixed signals.

"Photo opportunities and/or meetings with President Assad lead the Assad government to believe they're part of the mainstream of the international community, when, in fact, they're a state sponsor of terror," he said at a news conference in the White House's Rose Garden.

The disastrous one-term failure who let Islamists take over Iran, raid our Embassy, and hold Americans hostage for 444 days applauds the embarrassment who calls herself Speaker. How many Americans would still be alive if Carter had not been President? How many Americans will die in the future because of this woman's actions as Speaker?



These are the people who want us to forget about Islamist terrorists and focus our efforts on the "threat of global warming".

Well if Jimmah is for it, it can’t be too bad. Can it?

Carter backs Pelosi's trip, despite Bush's rebuke

LOL! "Despite" Bush's rebuke!? Rather BECAUSE of Bush's rebuke... and because Carter is a senile, treasonous, terrorist-loving turd himself.

Gotta love CNN's priorities of relevant persons.

And this is worthy of a story, much less a headline?

I mean, DUUUHHHH.

Oh, sure, and if Republicans had been free-lancing with conflicting foreign policy initiatives during the loathsome Carter years, Jimmy Peanut would have embraced their efforts.

Don’t these Demagogues ever start to implode from their own hypocrisy and self-contradictions?

Carter (or Clinton) would have been apoplectic at Republicans doing anything similar during their mis-spent time in office.

Jimmy STP Carter never misses an opportunity to stab America or her allies in the back.

One day he’ll answer for it and it won’t be pretty.

Bet the rent.

Carter negotiated for 444 days to win the release of our hostages in Iran. Yep, Jimmah believes very much in endless negotiating.

He knows that she’s getting her payments for supporting the terrorists like he always did and does. Maybe she’s giving him his cut on the side.

The peanut farmer is still...a peanut farmer.
Go pound sand, Jimmah!
Better yet, just go away and be silent.

Who in the bloody hell is in charge? Chaos and anarchy are starting to reign. A weak executive and increasingly lawless Congress invite nothing but trouble. Nature abhors a vacuum.
