Jimmy Carter Calls On US To Step Down As Mideast Mediator

USA Today ^ | 7/1/02 | Jimmy Carter

[11th Earl of Mar]

Recently, Emory Professor Kenneth Stein and I spread a detailed map on my office floor and examined the hundreds of strategically planted Israeli settlements in the West Bank and Gaza, each surrounded by a military force and connected by a web of guarded highways. The remaining unoccupied Palestinian lands appeared as small, isolated red splotches.

How high was the inflation rate when you entered office, Jimminy? And how high was it when you left?

[InvisibleChurch]

Former president Jimmy Carter should read One-term president Jimmy Carter

Hey Jimmy! Have you taken a look at Zimbabwe lately to see what your handiwork has wrought? Oh yes, your advice is the best ever. To ignore.

You sure do make a dandy ex-president. Why don't you go pound a few more nails into some of those insta-slums you build?

[Guillermo]

Jimmy Carter: 14 years of undermining GOP Presidents.

Whoever thinks Jimmy Carter is "at least a decent, honorable man" has their head in the sand.

[Northpaw]

I call on Jimmy Carter to step down from whatever position he thinks he holds to comment on anything.

[chemainus]

I remember the peanut well...and now as then..."What the heck is he mumbling?"

[hobbes1]

Not inflation. Always remember Carter did what the Keynesians said couldn't be done.

STAGFLATION

Jimmy Cartuh? Uh, wasn't he the doofus who went to see ol' buddy Fidel and urge him to embrace the Varela Project? Oh yeah Fidel gave Jimmy his answer. And now he's saying the U.S should quit making peace in the Middle East. Come to think of it, it maybe the one time the peanuts for brains goobers is right about something. Let Israel finish off the PLO, Hamas and Islamic Jihad and peace will reign forever after. And uh - Jimmy, you don't know a thing about politics or running a country. Which was why Ronald Magnus whupped your ass. President Bush knows exactly what he's doing without your useless advice. Go back to building Habitat for Humanity Homes --- its more suited to the few skills you do have.

other world leaders — perhaps in the Arab world

Peanutso. Is the Carter Center one of those places with high fences and lots of folks in white coats?

[TADSLOS]

Here, Jimmy, take this box of nails. You know what to do with them...

[DallasMike]

Except for the Oslo agreement, success came with balanced U.S. involvement.

Except for World War II, we got great with Japan during the early 1940s.

[wheezer]

I think the stopped clock is right on this.

[11th Earl of Mar]

Palestinians ... chose a president and Palestinian Authority members who were universally accepted as legitimate.

Did you catch this?

Arafat is legitimate!

[DallasMike]

Except for World War II, we got great with Japan during the early 1940s.

Except for World War II, we got along great with Japan during the early 1940s.

I will read before I post. I will read before I post.

[hellinahandcart]

I wish he'd shut his mucking fouth already...

[goldstategop]

Really? Even Colin Powell has finally concluded talking to Arafat is a waste of time.

[11th Earl of Mar]

I think the battery is running down in your clock.

[rellimpank]

--he doesn't even know how to do that. A few years ago, he and HFH built some shacks in South Dakota. Upon the first heavy snowfall, several of the roofs collapsed--

[ladyinred]

What's up with this Jimmy?
Weren't you RATS the ones who were whining that Bush WASN'T engaged enough in the middle east just a few weeks ago?
