Jimmy Carter Offers Help for Russia’s Bombing Campaign in Syria
The Washington Free Beacon ^ | October 20, 2015

Posted on 10/20/2015 3:03:27 PM PDT by McGruff

Former President Jimmy Carter said recently that he provided maps of Islamic State positions in Syria to the Russian embassy in Washington, a move apparently at odds with the Obama administration’s official policy of not cooperating with Russia in the Syrian war.

Carter said on Sunday in Georgia that he knows Russian President Vladimir Putin “fairly well” because they “have a common interest in fly fishing.” When he met with Putin in April along with other global leaders to discuss the crises in Syria and Ukraine, the Russian president gave him an email address so the two could discuss his “fly fishing experiences, particularly in Russia,” Carter said.

“I sent [Putin] a message Thursday and asked him if he wanted a copy of our map so he could bomb accurately in Syria, and then on Friday, the Russian embassy in Atlanta—I mean in Washington, called down and told me they would like very much to have the map,” Carter said at his Sunday school class in Georgia, according to a video of his remarks first aired by NBC News. “So in the future, if Russia doesn’t bomb the right places, you’ll know it’s not Putin’s fault but it’s my fault,” he added as the audience laughed.

I’m laughing at this. Was the sarcasm tag left off the original article? How would Carter know ISIS’s positions?

“Where did he get them? Walmart? “

Former presidents have contacts and are owed favors. Politics is all about favors. Plus, it may be that he continued to get curtesy briefings, a practice that will probably stop now.

That’s good because the Russians have no idea of where the terrorist sunni extremists are hiding

Well, whether the Russians have any use for these maps or not, or whether the contain any classified information, I’m sure Putin is happy to embarrass Obama by accepting the offer.

If there was any valuable Intel on your computer, the Russians already had it.

At first I think this was one of those semi-satire items.

I’m pretty sure Russian intel knows where the targets are without Jimmy’s help.
