Former President Jimmy Carter said recently that he provided maps of Islamic State positions in Syria to the Russian embassy in Washington, a move apparently at odds with the Obama administrations official policy of not cooperating with Russia in the Syrian war.
Carter said on Sunday in Georgia that he knows Russian President Vladimir Putin fairly well because they have a common interest in fly fishing. When he met with Putin in April along with other global leaders to discuss the crises in Syria and Ukraine, the Russian president gave him an email address so the two could discuss his fly fishing experiences, particularly in Russia, Carter said.

Where did he get them? Walmart?
I sent [Putin] a message Thursday and asked him if he wanted a copy of our map so he could bomb accurately in Syria, and then on Friday, the Russian embassy in AtlantaI mean in Washington, called down and told me they would like very much to have the map, Carter said at his Sunday school class in Georgia, according to a video of his remarks first aired by NBC News. So in the future, if Russia doesnt bomb the right places, youll know its not Putins fault but its my fault, he added as the audience laughed.
Copies them off news broadcasts with his trusty crayon set ...
Lak wut?
I’m laughing at this. Was the sarcasm tag left off the original article? How would Carter know ISIS’s positions?
He got them from Dan Rather.
Is this Jimmy or the brain tumor doing this?
“Where did he get them? Walmart? “
Former presidents have contacts and are owed favors. Politics is all about favors. Plus, it may be that he continued to get curtesy briefings, a practice that will probably stop now.
That’s good because the Russians have no idea of where the terrorist sunni extremists are hiding
Sarc
Thank you for posting this. Weirdest article I’ve seen today!
I have map where Comrade Carter said to bomb.
Does he ever quit?
He got them from Mrs Clinton’s UNCLASSIFIED server.
Yeah, fly fishing is a world priority right now..
Well, whether the Russians have any use for these maps or not, or whether the contain any classified information, I’m sure Putin is happy to embarrass Obama by accepting the offer.
Jimmeh,
If there was any valuable Intel on your computer, the Russians already had it.
Wow!
So many possibilities...
At first I think this was one of those semi-satire items.
I’m pretty sure Russian intel knows where the targets are without Jimmy’s help.
No doubt, but he is a traitor. Imho.
Please no bare chested Jimmy Carter pictures fly fishing.
