Britain and other European governments should break from the US over the international embargo on Gaza, former US president Jimmy Carter told the Guardian yesterday. Carter, visiting the Welsh border town of Hay for the Guardian literary festival, described the EU's position on the Israeli-Palestinian dispute as "supine" and its failure to criticise the Israeli blockade of Gaza as "embarrassing". Referring to the possibility of Europe breaking with the US in an interview with the Guardian, he said: "Why not? They're not our vassals. They occupy an equal position with the US."

Can a former president be tried for treason?
Only Jummah would encourage taking it “lying down” on memorial day
Typical for the traitor Carter, trying to undermine US policy in foreign lands. Has there ever been a more despicable ex-President? Before Jimmy C. there was a well-established tradition that ex-Presidents did not get into the political fray and instead either retired completely from public life or else devoted themselves to ceremonial and bi-partisan types of events. This was for the very good reasonn that it was better to have any living ex-Presidents be symbols of political unity and the basic enduring principles on which America was founded.
Jimmy C., in his egotism and mania for power and influence, totally trashed this tradition and has been just another partisan hack for the Demagogues.
‘Can a former president be tried for treason?’
my first thought too...except I thought he “should” be tried for treason!
This is over the line. Don’t let him back in the country
Hay festival, eh. Good place for a gelded scarecrow with sawdust for brains to be on Memorial Day.
It doesn't really matter what "XXX" and "YYY" are - just the grammatical form of the sentence alone strikes me as treasonous.
God I’m f#$king sick of this treasonous piece of sh!t meddling in our foreign policy. You’d think he’d be content with the damage his miserable, failed presidency did to this great nation.
No wonder he started Habitats for Humanity out of guilt. He ripped people off during the early 1980s with his 18.5% home loan interest rates.
But I bet Obama can top an 18.5% interest rate. You just watch!
Strike that comment, but you all know what I mean
Is there a way to ah...get the ball rolling?
Has there ever been anyone like him since Benedict Arnold?
‘Carter, visiting the Welsh border town of Hay for the Guardian literary festival, described the EU’s position on the Israeli-Palestinian dispute as “supine” and its failure to criticise the Israeli blockade of Gaza as “embarrassing”.’
The most embarrassing thing I can think of is Jimmy Carter.
What a buffoon.
Probably not. I wish he’d just go quietly into the night. His lack of shame is astounding. If I screwed something up as badly as he did I’d kill myself.
30 years from now I hope we won’t read about ex-President Obama pulling off this sh*t. No Hussein presidency.
I wish President Bush would, in fact, rebuke the old fart vigorously. Then the democrats would have to rally to Jimmy’s side right square in the middle of the election campaign, at considerable political cost. Probably the reason Carter is overseas is to keep him off the skyline here in the U.S. so he doesn’t upstage Hillary and BO with his gaffes.
