Jimmy Carter: America Can Persuade Israel to Make a Just Peace

As a farmer, I will never forgive the wretched little turd for the grain embargo.

Carter didn't run very well in the Dakotas in 1980 did he?

[cajun-jack]

carter was senile when he was 15...i was born into a family of democrats that voted straight democrat ticket no matter who was on it...(not bragging/sarcasm/just stating fact)i even voted for the p'nut man.....but thanks to his "leadership" i switched from the dimwitocrap party and have never looked back...at rosalyn's request, i am working on a new health medication for jimmuh.....i am combining ginko biloba with viagra...not only will he get an erection....he will remember why!!!!!!!

[xm177e2]

The basic premises of these resolutions are withdrawal of Israelis from Palestinian lands in exchange for full acceptance of Israel and Israel's right to live in peace

Surely Jimmah remembers the Oslo Accords, which were supposed to do the same thing. I mean, come on--he was present at the signing!

[goldstategop]

Bwahahaha!!! More of Jimmy Carter's infamous incompetence on display. This was the same man whose policies ushered in the Ayatollah Khomeini, who let American hostages rot for 444 days in Teheran, and who botched a rescue mission at Desert One. And he thinks he knows what it will take to make peace in the Middle East? I particularly relished his description of Arafat's dictatorship as being inaugurated under a "democratic" election. Yeah right. An election in which there was only one official candidate running and in which 99.99 percent landslides are the norm in the Arab Middle East. No America can't persuade Israel to make peace if only ONE side wants it. Carter is sadly out of his depth and he shows again why the American people couldn't wait to get rid of him after 4 nightmare years of being President. He really should stick to building Habitat Homes For Humanity.

Of course, they are all to the right of Bush, except Tuco, who hangs in there. Maybe that is the clue. Don't bash Bush from the left (except from the Buchanan perspective).

Two comments. I thought we were still counting Buchanan as being on the right. Isn't Murraymom (sp?) still with us, or doesn't she count as anti-Bush?

[liberalism=failure]

Ah yes, that's right, let's take advice from the biggest failure of a president we ever had. NOT!

I have a better ideas--Let's stay out of it, it's not our business.

[Walkin Man]

Wow! The NYT op-ed page with columns from bothAlGore & Jimmuh Carter.

Now thats what I call high quality birdcage liner!

[TiaS]

Would it surprise the "know-it-alls" out there if maybe Jimmy Carter knows something about all this that you don't?

[TopQuark]

Wow! The NYT op-ed page with columns from bothAlGore & Jimmuh Carter.

I think The NY Times simply strives to look presidential, Pokey. As you can see, their trouble is in that they publish wrong presidents --- one failed and almost-president.

The "paper of record" has a record of betting on a wrong horse. Did you know that they supported Musollini in the 1930s?

[anapikoros]

Didn't Yassir's term run out in '99 or was it just another one of those "one man, one vote, one time" elections.

[Nam Vet]

"I have one question for Jimmy Carter, who ran against Yasser Arafat in the election?"

The ONE (ally puppet) who was still alive. The rest wer pushing up daisies.

Get a life dude.

The ONLY way Israel will ever have peace is to rout out the Palestinians!

[pariah]

Ok, I read the disgusting hit piece on Israel from Britain's socialist media. Why should you wonder that most FReepers disbelieve such biased newspeak when it contains oxymronic gems like the following?:

In late 1987, a spontaneous yet well-organised uprising - the "Intifada" - began in Gaza...

Get a clue, mv1!

[Anthem]

Reagan was just the dumbass recipient of his forsight. [sic]

You know, he's right. Reagan was kind of a dumbass to want the Presidency after Carter. Let's look at Carter's foresight:

• 444 Hostages
• double digit inflation
• interest rates near 20%
• '79 oil embargo
• contracting economy
• Expanding communism

I can't go on, I'll get flashback nightmares. Good thing Reagan was such a dumbass.

Too bad the moderators don't let some of these idiots stick around for a while. It would be kind of fun to watch them splutter down their very short vocabulary list.
