Jimmy Carter:Father of the Iranian Revolution

Pundit Review ^ | April 21, 2008 | Staff

We just don’t get it. The Left in America is screaming to high heaven that the mess we are in in Iraq and the war on terrorism has been caused by the right-wing and that George W. Bush, the so-called “dim-witted cowboy,” has created the entire mess.

The truth is the entire nightmare can be traced back to the liberal democratic policies of the leftist Jimmy Carter, who created a firestorm that destabilized our greatest ally in the Muslim world, the shah of Iran, in favor of a religious fanatic, the ayatollah Khomeini.

Carter viewed Khomeini as more of a religious holy man in a grassroots revolution than a founding father of modern terrorism. Carter’s ambassador to the UN, Andrew Young, said “Khomeini will eventually be hailed as a saint.” Carter’s Iranian ambassador, William Sullivan, said, “Khomeini is a Gandhi-like figure.” Carter adviser James Bill proclaimed in a Newsweek interview on February 12, 1979 that Khomeini was not a mad mujahid, but a man of “impeccable integrity and honesty.”
The shah was terrified of Carter. He told his personal confidant, “Who knows what sort of calamity he [Carter] may unleash on the world?”

The fact of the matter is that Jimmy Carter has always hated America and has gone out of his way to coddle terrorists and the world’s worst tyrannical dictators. It is important to point out that, ideologically, Carter’s disdain for America is shared by the heart and soul of today’s “blame America first” Democrat Party (Pelosi, Kennedy, Kerry, Obama, Cllinton, Murtha, etc…)Carter’s weakness and ineptitude largely enabled the Islamic Revolution and the Jihad against America. George W. Bush, in spite of his mistakes, has, at the end of the day, kept America free from terrorist attacks post 9-11.

Lol, I’ll take Travolta!

Besides, you already did the ‘dance thing’!

[Irish Eyes]

Thanks for the ping. Some interesting information.

Rafsanjani, a low level cleric and pistachio orchard owner who had hundreds assassinated all around the world was president before Khatami.

So many Iran names are similar - Khomeini, Khatami, Khamenei, I have to stop and think myself so realize how much harder it is for others.

You may not have noticed but the AntiMullah site has seven sub-blogs with links in the left hand margin column. The intention is to try to spread articles out so that they do not bury one another and some like Terror News are definitely subject specific.
http://terrornewsbriefs.blogspot.com/

currently has a very long extended Conflict & Terror post

People visit from all over the world and some spend OVER TWO HOURS browsing around some 1,000 pages a day. Normal Internet visits are good if they last ONE OR TWO MINUTES.

AntiMullah tries to post new articles daily in many if not all the sub-blogs and receives information from many sources - including exclusive ones both inside and outside Iran.

Bookmarking for daily visits would be a great idea if you wish to keep up with Middle East matters and a slant against the dangerous liberal politicians like Obama, Clinton, Reid, Pelosi etc., who put our country in danger with opinions similar to Jimmuh, the Idiot, Carter.

He has a right to those but should also consider what is best for our country and people, not just his whacky mindsets and Marxist views.

The site tends to speak its mind with focused opinions and has run into the Mullahs trying to obstruct it with very little success since it is hard to hack into Google.

Feel free to share the site with anyone you think would benefit. I try to do this for FReepers.

You wrote: “As to Carter himself, he is not simply an inept, idiotic man. He is an evil and vindictive one.

The British Foreign Ofice sent somewhere between 200 and 400 trained observers to the USA to monitor the election between Carter and Reagan to spot if the Soviets were going to pour in large sums of money to buy the election for Carter.

He was generally considered a Soviet/Communist MOLE and appears to be proving they were right with his penchant for Communist friends like Castro, Chavez, Ortega and others. And with Islamic Jihad a “virtual” Marxist organization using the name of a religion, his meeting with Hamas etc., underlines this.”

Of course, it all makes more sense now. Carter is a slimeball, but he has “status” that would make any accusation like this look foolish,...uh, let me change that to “HAD status”: his arrogance has cast away any cover and his kissing the butts of the murderers in the name of “peace” has made him more transparent than ever.

Too many people in the world thought the “danger of Communism” ended with the fall of the Soviets. It didn’t, the Commies “played possum” for a while and have relaunched their aim of world domination, only they have chose to use our own ideas against us. Putin of the KGB rules Russia like a Czar, and is one of the richest men in Europe, but his commie past and present shows more vividly every time a “dissenting voice” is silenced by murder. communism is the driving force behind the Islamists, they get the “useful idiots” to die, and march in when the time is right. I could go on and on, but lets just let names make the point: China, North Korea, Iran, and the work of the “Socialist” Billionaire, George Soros, whose money is probably behind the weakening of the dollar and the outrageous speculation prices for oil.

The commies turned to capitalism to destroy democracy, unless we can stop them again.

Jimmuh destabilized the ME. We are still seeing the results of his folly.

[LomanBill]

>>2) “feckless” boycott of the Olympics,

...
>>8) Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, about
>>which he did nothing other than (see #2, above)

 

Carter incited the Soviets to invade Afghanistan via operation cyclone.  He baited the Sovs into invading and then feigned innocence of that via the boycott.

[LomanBill]

>>The Afghan war created Al Qaeda and Sunni
>>Islamic fundamentalism as a real military
>>force, and we’ll be fighting it for generations.
>>Thanks, Jimmy.

 

You are correct that Jimmuh Carter created Al Qaeda.  He and Zbigniew Brzezinski supported Islamic jihad in Afghanistan with the specific intent of causing the Soviets to invade.

 

It was called "Operation Cyclone".   AFAIK, Carter has never taken responsibility - but Zbig brags about it.

 

 

[LomanBill]

Because the Buffoon from Plains was trying to put some pressure on

Tehran as 1980 was more than half way gone, and the hostages were

still being held prisoner by the Iranian terrorist ‘students’.

 

 

Not exactly.

 

Operation Cyclone was initiated on July 3, 1979; several months before the hostages were taken.

[LomanBill]

>>The commies turned to capitalism
>>to destroy democracy

It seems corporatism and communism are simply mirror images of the same thing - fascism. God is rejected in both systems and replaced with a hierarchical structure that demands itself be the object of worship.

The natural result of secular humanism.

Carter is a fool and a tool of the same stripe as Jane Fonda, traitorous bitch, and Michael Moore, hate America first, phony fat-assed slob; both of whom endorse Barack Obama as do all the most hateful, vile, and extremist left-wing nutcases. Jimmy Carter shouldn’t just have his passport pulled, he should be arrested under the Sedition Act as a co-conspirator and useful idiot operative of an extremely hostile foreign, terrorist sponsoring government regardless of his status as a former US President. The bastard belongs in GITMO where he can minister to his like-minded anti-Semitic, hate America flock and help build them new recreation centers with his Habitat hammer. What an idiot.

[mkjessup]

Not exactly.

Yes, *exactly*

Operation Cyclone was initiated on July 3, 1979; several months before the hostages were taken.

Cyclone was the brainchild of Brzezinski, but was essentially a sideshow compared to Carter's more blatant undermining of the Shah's government (which led to the taking of the hostages once the Shah fell), and so far as the Iran-Iraq War, a more detailed account of how Carter and Brzezinski instigated that carnage can be found here:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2000864/posts?page=51#51

The only thing that Operation Cyclone establishes is that Brzezinski was and is at least as capable as the imaginary character "Dr. Strangelove" (with a buzz haircut), and that the Carter Administration was a curse upon our Nation and the world in general.

Apparently I need reading glasses.  I had in mind that you were referring to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan - not the Iran/Iraq war.  I apologize for my misstatement.

 

You are correct; and the Iran / Iraq war is a typical example of the Rhodesian chess game where warfare is instigated between countries with the intention being their mutual destruction.

 

Kind of like the intent behind the financing of both the Russian Communists and Adolph Hitler - except in that case Hitler bit the hand that fed him and attacked Great Britain first instead of Russia.

 

All the world's a stage, and Zbig fancies himself a director.

 

Most folks are not aware that Zbig is Obama's foreign policy advisor.

Not at all FRiend, the misdeeds and foul-ups of the Carter years are a convoluted path and difficult to follow, even on a good day. No apology necessary.

Astute observations. I've read unsubstantiated stories that General Patton himself had suggested that not only should we have encouraged Hitler to drive the Russians east as far as the Urals, but to have provided air support and 'bomb the Slavic SOBs to smithereens' as we did the Japanese.

All the world's a stage, and Zbig fancies himself a director.

Zbig wouldn't be qualified to empty the director's spittoon.

Most folks are not aware that Zbig is Obama's foreign policy advisor.

Which makes one wonder about Obama-lama-ding-dong's criticism of Carter's tete a tete with Hamas recently?

Good to have you on FR btw, and Welcome! :)
