PING

[muawiyah]

He pardoned all the draft-dodgers. I don't recall him pardoning a single deserter. Jimmy hated all the people who actually went into the military during the war - didn't cut them any slack. His only heroes were the cowards and traitors.

It's highly unlikely that Carter could have done anything to prevent the downfall of the Shah. In fact, a pretty good case can be made that much of the anti-Americanism that arose during the shah's deposing can be traced back to Eisenhower's forcing Mossadeek [spelling?] when Ike was in office.

That is only because myth has made Mossadek into a hero, when in fact he was doing to Iran what Chavez is doing in Venezuela and what allende did in Chile. Mossadek was APPOINTED by their equivalent of a congress- once in power he nationalized the oil companies (in other words, stole them from their owners in true communist fashion) and then when the economy collapsed he came under fire. Mossadek then disbanded their 'congress' ... hardly the act of some "democratic" leader.

How about blowing the Ayatollah's plane out of the sky on its way from Paris, like the Iranian generals wanted to do in self-defense?

[Pee_Oui]

Yes, and I'm sure it's not helping us out in this war.

China now controls the Panama Canal...

Jimmuh Cartuh was a big goober pea farmer.

Actually, Carter, himself, said more than once in political campaigns, that he is a nuclear scientist. His trail of dictator coddling suggests that he would have failed as a goober pea farmer.

Wow! Imagine how that would have changed the course of history.

"In my book, he is the runner up to the "America's worst president" title."

Carter and Clinton will have to squabble amongst themselves over the dishonor of being the who of the two is the worst president in our history.

[ErnBatavia]

"So much for the country preacher from Plains Georgia." I hope you don't mean this, even in jest.

I like that line, because all Jimmuh does is "preach". I love how he molds himself as a poor schmuck; I think otherwise --- to seek, obtain the nomination, and then bag the prize, one does NOT succeed by being a "poor schmuck". Jimmuh was, and still is, a very calculating manipulator.

you forgot jimmuh the nobelpeaceprize^TM winner gave away...

PANAMA

[Happy2BMe]

"It was stated in Time magazine that Clinton people told the Iranians that he would not support the Shah. This really set up the bloodbath where all the pro-Western leaders were slaughtered."

This has been repeated so much, most everybody thinks it is true.

He was not a peanut farmer. He was a peanut BROKER. That way he profited off other peoples labor and didn't get his hands dirty.

He was not a nuclear scientist, engineer or even technician. He was a USN reactor officer who was passed over (not promoted) three times and forced out of the Navy.

I used term "deserter" for the people who ran to Canada to avoid the draft, before and after being notified. Not sure what they were officially called.

[NewRomeTacitus]

Hey now! No one mentioned the Panama Canal give-away. Who are those little Mao-suited guys running that now?
I don't think enough ropes could be found if the problems were ever addressed.

[cactusSharp]

bump for later

[Dick Bachert]

Yes, he PAID the Panamanians to take the thing off our hands.

Now our NEW BUDDIES, the Chicoms, are running the damn thing. We'll pay for that -- in spades -- down the road.

The Panama Canal was going to the Panamanians no matter who stood at the White House. Regan would have likely made the deal if Carter hadn't. Congress had been suggesting this since the early 70s. The Panamanians had this idea that the canal actually made a profit and that they should be owning the canal to 'suck' up that profit. They used to go to political rallies in Panama and talk of hundreds of millions in terms of profit. After the treaty was signed and the slow turn-over started...the politicans began to shut up about profit. The truth is that the canal never made a penny of profit ever. The transit payments paid strictly for daily operations and the staff...thats it. The US actually paid for major improvements out of its own pocket in order to keep the transit cost low. When Panama started to finally take over the canal...they suddenly woke up and realized that they would have to front these improvement costs and have no profit. Originally talking of massive transit fees...they finally got realistic and edged them up around 20 to 30 percent. The money-maker now as far as they are concerned is the docks and freight area. Most of the big name politicans have various deals that help float money under the table from the dock to them. The public in Panama has never made any money off the canal or the docks. The standard of living is no better than the 1980s when the Americans were there with a large military prescence....and in most cases, worse.

As for Carter and the treaty...it actually has saved the US government $500 million a year (from 1980s numbers)...from military operations there to the canal improvements. Thats the one positive. As for the shape of the canal in 20 years...obviously, Panama will either have to drastically increase transit costs or ask Uncle Sam to front big bills. I wouldn't give Carter any big credits...but the US government did not really need to run the canal or spend government money on the thing. Either the commerical world pays their share or else it closes.

[poet]

Are you sure we haven't been paying the cost to operate the canal all these years, hmmm, let me see, say, through foreign aid?

This Day in History

"July 14, 1980.....President Carter's brother Billy acknowledges he received money and gifts to act as Libyan agent, is forced to register as foreign agent to avoid Justice Dept. penalty."

As if the beer wasn't bad enough.

Also: July 2, 1980: "Carter campaign asks Federal Election Commission to deny federal funds to Ronald Reagan because private committees raising funds for him are allegedly not independent."
