Wonder which book they are reading from?

FORMER US president Jimmy Carter has said Israel holds at least 150 nuclear weapons, the first time a US president has publicly acknowledged the Jewish state's atomic arsenal.
Asked at a news conference at Wales' Hay literary festival yesterday how a future US president should deal with the Iranian nuclear threat, Mr Carter put the risk in context by listing atomic weapons held globally.
"The US has more than 12,000 nuclear weapons, the Soviet Union (Russia) has about the same, Great Britain and France have several hundred, and Israel has 150 or more. We have a phalanx of enormous weaponry ... not only of enormous weaponry but of rockets to deliver those missiles on a pinpoint accuracy target," he said, according to a transcript of his remarks.
While the existence of Israeli nuclear weapons is widely assumed, Israeli officials have never admitted their existence and US officials have stuck to that line in public for years.
The Nobel Peace Prize winner said Washington should talk directly to Tehran to persuade it to drop its nuclear ambitions.
Years of US policy, including sanctions and a debate about the possibility of military strikes, have not persuaded Iran to abandon its ambitions to produce enriched uranium.

The last I read was that Israel had about 220...but I would
guess they gots lots more....
So Carter ain’t saying nothing really new...though he ought to be
praying for peace instead of expecting people to not fight, after
he comes out with his wisdom.
I think the Southern Baptist may have gone further south
than you’d think.
I certainly hope Israel has many more than that.
Someone with brainpower and a very big stick is needed in the ME.
How long before this knucklehead starts giving State secrets to terrorists in the name of peace making? Assuming he hasn’t already.
He knows the difference but hates Israel so much he wishes the numbers were reversed. Or that someone had already taken out Israel.
He was and is a communist. The first deep plant Soviet sympathizer who got to the Presidency.
Regrettably, you are correct. Very few Americans will candidly admit to their being in the throes of anti-Semitism--it is usually camouflaged as "anti-Zionism," or a mere political difference with Israel's current leadership, or...well, something. Anything. But never what it really is.
Carter strikes me as anti-Semitic to the core. He just lacks the integrity or moral courage to express his core convictions unabashedly.

This should be a major concern. Hog tie him and drag him back home. Then have him detained until further notice.
I would sure think so. He has certainly demonstrated complete irresponsibility and outright antagonism for U.S. and Israeli security. Even as dated as his Presidential experience is he was plenty close to the Clinton administration. Bring him in and waterboard the old fart. Find out what he’s been spilling and what he’s been told by Hamas.
Yes, I finally figured that out as well.
Jimmy’s problem centers around the fact that he hasn’t had his monthly high colonic in 30 years.
