Former President Jimmy Carter is criticizing President Barack Obama’s Middle East policy, saying he has shifting policies and waited too long to take action against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.
In an interviewed published Tuesday in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, the 39th president said the Obama administration, by not acting sooner, allowed ISIL to build up its strength.
“[W]e waited too long. We let the Islamic State build up its money, capability and strength and weapons while it was still in Syria,” he said, using an alternate name for the terrorist group. “Then when [ISIL] moved into Iraq, the Sunni Muslims didn’t object to their being there and about a third of the territory in Iraq was abandoned.”

Well, he’s still gold on SNL.
Jimmy Carter is an embarrassment to males. He is a wimp, good for nothing liberal slimeball. I am sad to have him say he is a Southerner. But, my good friends of the good state of Georgia have to claim him and his peanut head. You can easily say what the blood line was like when his brother Billy was a pal of Moo Mar Ka-dolf-fee. Jimmy and Billy. Man those two must have made Mama Lillian proud. Good ole Billy Beer. From what I heard about it, it tasted like cow’s pi$$. Since I don’t drink, at least I did not have to throw up drinking it.
You’re an expert on blowing it when it comes to Islamic terrorism, aren’t you Jimmyboy?
Good explanation! Any thing that 0dumb0 can do to undermine & de-legitimize Israel, he will do. He is evil to the very core of his demonic soul!
Ahhh. Jimmah Carter. He knows more than any one in the Oval Office about foreign policy even though his foreign policy failed.
Kinda funny that he’s taking swipes at President Zero while Bush remains mostly silent.
I'm confident he can go much much lower.
If there’s anyone on this planet who would know a thing or two about blowing it, it would be Jimmy Carter.
