Because he's a senile old fool, and always has been.

He’s wrong because he’s a communist and wants the jihadis to destroy Western Civilization.

Both of you have 90% of the reason covered. The remainder of the 10% has to do with Jimmy Carter being so full of himself that he actually believes his own propoganda.

Because Carter has been wrong about damn near everything and didn’t want to damage his legacy?

>>>Why Is Jimmy Carter So Disastrously Wrong on the Middle East? <<<

The short answer is; Habit!

Carter is a guy that has been wrong his entire life, wrong on the Shah, wrong on inflation, wrong on gas, heating oil and sweaters, wrong on North Korea, wrong on election monitoring of untold numbers of Communists including Hugo Chavez.....

What the hell else can we expect from him....revoke his passport and cellphone!

“Carter has NO brain at all.”

Maybe he had one at one time, but (and my apologies to “The Twilight Zone” or “Outer Limits”, or one of those kinds of shows) then an earwig got to his brain and ate it all up; and now the bloated and sated earwig is just passing gas, which is what now makes up Jimmah’s thought processes.

“Carter has NO brain at all.”

Jimmy Carter was/is a nuclear engineer and quite a brilliant engineer by all accounts. He commanded a nuclear submarine for the US naval forces, if I recall correctly.

He is not stupid at all.

He is brilliantly supporting the side he wants to win -— it’s just so abhorent, it’s hard to think he’s not stupid.

He did not command the sub. Check out this old news. Why in hell would the Navy name a sub after him...the worst president in U.S. history?

Navy to Commission Attack Submarine Jimmy Carter
Story Number: NNS050215-14
Release Date: 2/15/2005 7:01:00 PM

Special release from the U.S. Department of Defense

WASHINGTON (NNS) — The Navy will commission its newest nuclear-powered attack submarine Jimmy Carter Feb. 19, during an 11 a.m. EST ceremony at Naval Submarine Base New London, Groton, Conn.

The attack submarine Jimmy Carter honors the 39th president of the United States.

President Carter is the only U.S. president to have qualified in submarines. He has distinguished himself by a lifetime of public service, and has long ties to the Navy and the submarine force. Carter graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1946, served as a commissioned officer aboard submarines, and served as commander-in-chief from 1977 to 1981. Carter’s statesmanship, philanthropy and sense of humanity earned him the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002.

Retired Adm. Stansfield Turner, a classmate of the president who served in the Carter administration as the director of the Central Intelligence Agency, will deliver the ceremony’s principal address. Rosalynn Carter is the sponsor for the ship named for her husband, with daughter Amy serving as matron of honor. In a time-honored Navy tradition, Rosalynn Carter will give the first order to “man our ship and bring her to life!”

Jimmy Carter is the third and final submarine of the Seawolf class. As the most advanced submarine in the class, Jimmy Carter will have built-in flexibility and an array of new warfighting features that will enable it to prevail in any scenario, against any threat – from beneath Arctic ice to shallow water. Differentiating Jimmy Carter from all other undersea vessels is its multimission platform (MMP), which includes a 100-foot hull extension to enhance payload capability. The MMP will enable Jimmy Carter to accommodate the advanced technology required to develop and test a new generation of weapons, sensors and undersea vehicles for naval special warfare, tactical surveillance and mine-warfare operations.

Capt. Robert D. Kelso, a native of Fayetteville, Tenn., will serve as Jimmy Carter’s first commanding officer, leading a crew of approximately 130 officers and sailors. Built by General Dynamics Electric Boat in Groton, Conn., the 12,130-ton Jimmy Carter is 453 feet in length, has a beam of 40 feet, and can operate at speeds exceeding 25 knots when submerged.

This one is too easy. He's a disaster because he impugns the motives of the US and its allies while being naively willing to accept the good will of those who are pledged to destroy the US, Israel, civilization, and all that is good in the world. The man is a moron at best and an evil person at worst.

He's being consistent.

He's been disatrously wrong on virtually every issue since entering public life, so why change now?

The answer is obvious.

Because Carter is RESPONSIBLE for much of the modern mid-East problems.

He backs Hamas because Hamas is a creature of Iran. Carter enables the current Iran when he cold-shouldered the Shah.

That's why Carter stands almost alone in his position. He sees the US repudicating his policy as President and is terrified for his legacy.

It's simple, because he hasn't changed and always will be a liberal Democrat.

He was wrong and totally oblivious as President and he STILL is.

The worst president of the 20th century!
