“At best naive”? That’s putting the best face on it, Joe. Wonder what the good senator thinks privately?

“Naive” is far too kind to describe Carter. He’s anti-American, like most leftist RATS. That’s why they get so upset when anybody questions their patriotism, like Obama refusing to salute the flag.

Anyone who heard Carter telling how he was going to sit the Syrians down and talk would know he is an arrogant traitor.
Who does he think he is? He’s just like Bill Clinton, who cannot stand being out of the White House.

..................

No basis to revoke his passport, he hasn't broken any travel bans. Though I've raised questions about things like the Logan Act and various laws barring aid and advice to terrorist organizations if his statement

"Before I went to Nepal, I put in a call for Condoleeza Rice just to have a personal conversation with her about my plans," Carter said. "I went over the entire itinerary. She could not take my call because she was traveling in Europe, so she asked David Welch, who is the assistant secretary of state. We had a 20-minute conversation, which was very pleasant, never a single negative word and not a single request that I modify my itinerary."

is correct, he's undermined our nations foreign policy, but hasn't violated a thing. His acts are deserving of condemnation though, and it's not like the administration would pull his passport even if he deserved it.

Carter will have a Cabinet position under Obama. This mission is advance engineering to give “Black Panther” Obama a big diplomacy coup shortly after he is elected.

I can’t understand why his passport wasn’t revoked before he left the country.

Naive at best.

Stupid at worst.

But most probably trying to rehabilitate his image as the worst president in US history. His thinking: “If I can just swing one more peace deal then the whole world will love me and forgive me for my disastrous presidency.”

Senator Lieberman is being entirely too kind in his assessment of Dhimmi Jimmuh.

Yeah, I keep thinking what a great success the four years under Carter were. I imagine he's been a terrific help in sorting things out over there. I can see the lasting benefits of his efforts while in the White House. Yasser Arafat — the Nobel-Prize-Winning Man of Peace. Talk about an oxymoron. I don't know how the Israel P.M. managed to keep a straight face, much less hurl.

An 18-year-old college student expressing similar views would be naive.

An 83-year-old ex-President who has been on the world stage for over three decades expressing those views can be nothing but senile.

Jimmy Carter -- Governor, President . . . Traitor?

The Omega Letter ^ | 1-24-05 | Jack Kinsella

>snip<;

"Vincent pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court in Manhattan Tuesday to being an illegal agent of Saddam in violation of U.N. sanctions on Iraq and related U.S. tax laws. He faces up to 28 years in prison. However, he "flipped" in hopes of a lighter sentence and, Attorney General John Ashcroft said, is cooperating with investigators.

As part of his plea, Vincent testified that in 1996, during negotiations over the "oil-for-food" program, he channeled payoffs to a U.N. official in exchange for favorable influence in the international body. Some of those names are, to say the least, startling.

Among them are former president Jimmy Carter, who met with Vincent and three Iraqi clerics at his home in Plains, Georgia, in September 1999.

The purpose of the meeting, according to a Carter spokesperson, was "to hear their views on the plight of children in Iraq and the impact of the U.N. sanctions on Iraq."

Before the visit, Carter was already on record as opposing sanctions against Iraq. According to the New York Sun, Vincent also allegedly reported on his meetings to Iraqi intelligence officials.

A Saddam-era Iraqi weekly once praised Carter for being 'in sympathy with the suffering Iraqi people' for speaking out against the 'stringent' sanctions imposed on Iraq by the UN at US insistence after the first Gulf War.

The paper claimed Carter had promised to send his wife Rosalynn and his son, Chip Carter, to Iraq to highlight the effect sanctions were having on Iraqi civilians, running the story alongside a photo of Carter and the three Iraqi clerics Carter met with at his home.

The Justice Department said that, as a lobbyist, Vincent met with a number of high-ranking US officials, but refused to identify most of them, citing a policy of withholding the names of people who are involved in a matter under investigation but not suspected of wrongdoing.

(Jimmy Carter's name was evidently NOT among those being withheld by the DoJ)

Jimmy Carter has used his status as a former president to interfere with US foreign policy regarding Iraq, going all the way back to the first Bush presidency.

In November 1990, two months after Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, Carter wrote a letter to the heads of state of the permanent members of the United Nations Security Council.

Carter urged the countries to drop their support for Bush's proposed military solution, reversing his own 'Carter Doctrine' of the 1970's which stated;

" Any attempt by any outside force to gain control of the Persian Gulf region will be regarded as an assault on the vital interests of the United States of America, and such force will be repelled by any means necessary, including military force.")" >snip<;

Rep. Sue Myrick, R-N.C., told FOX News that she advocates revoking Carter's passport and supports a measure to withdraw all federal funding from his Georgia-based institution, the Carter Center.

"We have a policy in this country about Hamas and he is deliberately undermining that policy," Myrick said
