The best words that can be said about Jimmy Carter -- FORMER PRESIDENT.
Thank goodness he isn't in the White House today. Come to think of it if he had never been in the White House the war on terror might not have escalated to the heighth it is.
Speaking at a convention in Europe Carter said Guantanamo and the face that we are holding prisoners there is an embarrasment to the citizens of the United States.
I am a citizen of the United States and am puzzled as to why Carter is speaking for me.
I could care less what we do to the prisoners at Guantanamo, although I do advocate for each copy of the Koran we flush down the toilet there, we flush one Arab prisoner along with it.
But then that might violate the clause of separation of church and state -- wherever it is.
I suggest former President Carter is more of an embarrasment to the United States than a prison full of Arab terrorists.
No, I take that back -- Carter is a disgrace to the United States.
This is the same Jimmy Carter who helped heighten terror in the Middle East when he withdrew support of the Shah of Iran which led to his exile and the seizing of that country by terrorists.
This is the same Jimmy Carter who stood by and did nothing while a group of American citizens were being held hostage and mistreated in Iran.
This is the same Jimmy Carter who, when he did decide to do something about it, abandoned an expiditionary force into Iran when the ill trained and worse equipped soldiers were felled by a sandstorm.
It has taken America more than 20 years now to recover from the damage Carter did in four years in office -- and America would be well served if he kept his mouth shut

ReplyDeleteYou haven't spent much time in the Arab world talking to Arabs!
Arabs are APPALLED (like all moral people should be) at the photos out of American prisons.
But many many Arabs APPRECIATE Jimmy Carter... especially his campaigning for human rights and honest elections in his post presidential years.
Sure beats all the golfing other ex-presidents do!
