Via Greg Hengler, why would an American cap a three-day visit to Kim Jong-Il’s national gulag by accusing the U.S. of human rights violations? Well, much like Superman, Carter’s more a “citizen of the world” now than part of the country he used to lead. In fact, he wasn’t there on behalf of the State Department but as part of a delegation from “The Elders,” an elite team of ex-statesmen who travel the world sharing the sort of wisdom that’s made “Jimmy Carter” synonymous with successful foreign policy ideas here at home.
Kim wouldn’t meet with them, incidentally, for reasons I don’t understand. When you have a former U.S. president willing to carry your water, hand him a bucket. Instead, Kim sent them a message saying he’d be willing to meet with either South Korea or the U.S. to talk disarmament and any matters — like, say, food for the population, which may or may not be suffering an unusually harsh famine right now due to a bad winter. In theory, that would increase American leverage over Kim: The more desperately he needs food, the more willing he’ll be to make concessions to get it. But now that we’ve got this choice soundbite from an Absolute Moral Authority like Carter suggesting that other countries have a right to be fed by us without preconditions, well, who knows. Besides, after all the North has done for them lately, South Korea practically owes them, no?
Earth to the peanut farmer: GO AWAY!!!!!!!!!
Think about this. An ex-President is accusing this administration of starving North Koreans as an instrument of foreign policy. I think Jimmy may have gone over the line this time.
Imagine the chore of being the next Republican President trying to save the nation-- and the worst President EVER will be second-guessing you with the full support of the presstitutes of the MSM.
Two North Koreans were executed in front of their extended families for reading a pamphlet dropped from a balloon, then the entire extended families were sent to concentration/death camps.
This is Standard Operating Procedure in North Korea.
Now, what was this about human rights?
I’ll go for giving them food IF we can withhold all food from Carter.
Dear Former President Carter:
There are over 160 countries in the world. Why is food for North Korea a South Korea/US problem? What has North Korea done with all the food we’ve sent already? Do you think maybe, ala Sadaam, they sell that food to oh, say, China and Russia? Why do you spend your retirement bashing America? Are you that bored with life?
Perhaps your talents would be better utilized back in the peanut fields.
Best Regards, your former constituients
Carter’s continued existence makes me think that it may just be possible for someone to be too stupid to die.
Yo Carter, bring a bag of peanuts with you next trip to NK, Dumbass.
Moron.
The Norks don’t have a right to food unless they pay for it.
And South Koreans are certainly under NO obligation to provide after the Norks have repeatedly attacked them.
Is there ANY WAY we can prevent Carter from returning from North Korea? Please?
I guess according to Carter, it is okay to bite the one that feeds you.
Long Pig is like pork, so you want to go with a sweet Rhine wine, perhaps Zeller SchwartzKatz. It will help with the bitter taste...
Sooooo, he’s essentially admitting that North Korea’s economic philosophy is a failure and has left them incapable of feeding themselves.
Not the take you probably wanted there Jimmuh.
I voted for Carter. A naval officer, a southern gent, what could go wrong? The gift that keeps on giving.
He reminds me of Bertrand Russell and his war crimes trials of the US in London in the 60’s. Russell was, by that time, addlepated and run by some young Brit ideologues.
I can’t see what Carter’s excuse might be.
Thanks SeekAndFind. The phrase “withholding food” should be in Carter’s living will. Also “hold pillow over face”.
Jimmy Carter if you cared about those people, you would convince their country’s leader to let them go somewhere with food.
OPEN THE BORDERS.
There is food beyond them...
