gee, whom should I believe? /s

[illiac]

Jimmy conveniently forgot the substance of the phone call....

[Jersey Republican Biker Chick]

Is Jimmy smokin peanuts again?

[The_Republican]

[Always Right]

I question that a person with a brain would even have to be told not to talk with known terrorist organizations.

[Old Retired Army Guy]

Carter who was the worst President in the last 100 years and the worst ex-president ever needs to go to Americas GA and raise peanuts.

[synbad600]

Assuming he’s telling the truth (ha ha), what? He needs to be told not to meet w/ the enemy/ terrorists?

[TexasNative2000]

Obviously, Carter doesn't know how to deal with a powerful woman.

He's sexist and racist for accusing her of lying.

Oh, wait.....he's a Democrat so none of that applies.

[Uri’el-2012]

If they did not put it in writing;
they are remiss when dealing with Jimmah !

[Sacajaweau]

He's kinda blowing in the wind....because a million other folks said he shouldn't be going. He didn't notice?

Using Condi as "the last word" is his peanut mentality.

[Always Right]

[tobyhill]

The State Dept issued a statement via MSM about their disappointment that he scheduled the trip and planned to meet Hamas. It's kind of dumb that he would say now that they weren't POed.

[BARLF]

My thought exactly.

[LasVegasMac]

....the U.S. government ever asked him (Carter) to refrain from his recent visit to the Middle East or even suggested that he not meet with Syrian President (Bashar) Assad or leaders of Hamas,"

No controlling legal authority, right Peanut Head?

Revoke his passport.

[sanchmo]

Nobody in the state department told me not to kick Jimmy Carter in the groin. I guess it’s OK.

[Shermy]

I take Condi’s side in this matter. She could have flat out stated “Don’t go” and Jimmuh would not want to go.

This trip to Hamas in three countries was personal psychological repair work for Jimmy’s own mental state. When his last book came out people criticized him for apologizing for everything about Arafat and most of all about Hamas and jihadism. He was on a radio show for one and showed deep denial that Hamas’ constitution says the things it did. His obsessive, cryptic anti-Israelism needed perfect gardening, like all lefty world views, and this trip to Hamas was to prove himself right, in effect denying Hamas’ voice. His claim on what Hamas told him about living in peace as neighbors was such a miscasting more than one Hamas official came out to correct him.

This trip wasn’t about the Palestinians. Carter didn’t even bother to meet with President Abbas. Carter had three meetings in the West Bank, Egypt and Syria with Hamas. This trip was about Carter proving to himself, and to others, that Israel is 100% wrong.

[marlon]

He also said that Hamams had agreed to recognize Israel and would live side by side with them as long as there was a Palastinaian state. Hammas didn’t even wait for his plane to lift off before denying that one. He’s either a liar or a senile old coot or both. I vote for both.

[Shermy]

correction

“and Jimmuh would STILL want to go.”
