"One of the key factors that arouses intense feelings of animosity in the world is the festering problem in the Holy Land, the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza and the inability of Israel to live in peace with its neighbours," he said.What an idiot....

Ugh yeah...I was stuck with listening to that last night. I love WSB but I think that this hour long radio show was pathetic. I was SORELY disappointed that WSB wasn't running Sean Hannity or Royal Marshall at this time instead.

They say he has an IQ of 170... go figure.
It is good to know who is chosen for a "nobel" rat prize, that way, we can know the enemy of the United States.
After all these years, I still cringe and am angered at the mental picture of the hostages, paraded before cameras with blindfolds, and the commercial footage playing Paul McCartney's, "the long and winding road." Carter sickens me.

"The peanut farmer was probably the most honest USA president ever".
I'm not so sure about the honesty part - i.e. Bert Lance, Clark Clifford, Robert Vesco, etc.

Unfortunately the
Peanut President speaks for a lot of misguided Americans when he says that pre-emptive war is wrong.
This is an issue that we must debate openly.
The fact is, pre-emptive war is right. And we who know that have to be ready, willing and able at all times to advance the arguments as to why it is right.
We can blame the Peanut President all we want for arguing the wrong side of this issue. But he's not alone. And what we have to do is refine our arguments. And win.
The survival of Freedom depends on it.

And don't forget registered Libyan agent brother Billy. Or the cocaine-snorting twins Hamilton Jordan and Jody Powell. Yeah, well-conceived criticisms, Carter. And (to paraphrase one of his heroes, Joe Stalin) remind us again of how many divisions you have?

And, poetic justice that on the same day he criticised Bush's foreign policy his "beloved" North Korea was caught shipping scuds to Yemen.

Mr. Peanut-still the useful idiot's idiot, and as it has been said, " there's no fool like an old fool".

Imagine this. We are about to send our troops into the former Yugoslavia under Clinton's orders. Former Pres Ford goes to Moscow and publicly declares that the USA has no national interest at stake in the region. He goes on to state that Milosovich has no interest in threatening his neighbors, that he was duly elected by the people. He blatantly states that this would be an unjust war, with potentially terrible results. That it sets a bad precident.
Now imagine the media reaction.
However, Carter is a Democrat. Bush is a Republican. So the media focus? Trent Lott!

"and the inability of Israel to live in peace with its neighbours," he said."
Not to forget this little gem, he also took the opportunity to blame the violence in the Middle East on Israel, rather than the arabs. I didn't respect the guy, but my dislike is growing.
"The former US president, Jimmy Carter, marked his elevation to the status of Nobel peace laureate yesterday by chiding President Bush on his doctrine of pre-emptive war"
Considering that he was chosen as a slap at W, I'm not sure that this can be called an "elevation." More like a decension.
Carter might want to note that a little pre-emptive war making against Hitler could have saved the lives of millions. Perhaps the parallels here are reasonable.

That's Carter for you. Classic example of "biting the hands that feed you." Is there a place to sign up to recall Carter's Nobel prize, like the one recalling yASSer araRAT's?
To: kattracks
Carter, responsible for:
Cuban Criminal boat flotilla.
Ayatollah Khomenei's takeover of Iran.
Hostage crisis.
Gutting of the miltary prior to Reagan's restorative work.
Higher unemployment rates at the time.
Higher Percentage rates.
Higher taxes.
Ludicrous infantile Liberal Whining for the past two and a half decades.
And there's people who insist he was a great "Militarily Friendly" president who "did a lot of good".
I challenge them to prove it.
