Ex-Prez Carter: Bush has brought U.S. "international disgrace"
Ex-Prez Carter: Bush has brought U.S. "international disgrace", read the story here. "The former president told a crowd of about 300 on the campus of the University of Nevada, Reno today that the nation is more sharply divided than it has ever been as a result of Bush's policies.
The winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002, he says he's deeply embarrassed that the American government now stands convicted around the world as one of the greatest abusers of civil rights. He continued the theme in a
dinner speech to 700 at a Democratic fundraiser tonight, saying every past president has been a supporter of human rights, until this one." Note from Jack, when those Iranian students seized our embassy, Carter did nothing right and American's were held hostage until a new president took over. Carter didn't bring America presitge nor credibility. In fact, America never looked more weak, than under him. He did a lot to ruin the economy during his administration too. Carter was one of the worst presidents ever. I bet his response to 9/11 would have been to issue a terse protest and warn them they better not do that again or they would get an even more terse protest.
It another story today, George Soros reveals he quits...September 29, 2006 -- Billionaire liberal financier George Soros, who spent millions of his fortune trying to oust President Bush in 2004, yesterday said he hopes to stay out of politics from now on. "In the future, I'd very much like to get disengaged from politics," Soros said at a Council on Foreign Relations meeting on the Upper East Side. "I'm interested in policy and not in politics." Note from Jack: I hope he quits policy too.

I remember 444 days of disgrace while some two bit thugs embarassed us in front of the whole world. Yeah I guess Jimmy knows disgrace alright. By the time he built up the courage (during primary season coincidentaly) to show some back bone it was during sandstorm season getting a number of good Americans killed in vulnerable helicopters.
A couple other American embassies were attacked during that period. The culprits took note of his jellyfishlike spine and took advantage of us. How do you spell wooooose?

Jimmy says we use torture...
Ok compare this (which could occur at
any frat house on any US college campus)
To this:
some of the Torture devices used by Saddam Hussein's son Uday on
members of Iraq's Olympic team as tools of punishment for bad
performance:
Jimmy Carter is an idiot extraordinaire.
Lets not forget, it was during Carter's administration that we saw the rise
of Islamic Terror in Iran, and he, like Clinton, did nothing. It took Reagan
taking office to get the hostages released because they feared he would send
carpet bombing.

Jimmy Carter's disgraceful record:
In an article in May 2002, NewsMax's Chris Ruddy pointed out:
"Remember Carter's human rights program, where
he demanded the Shah of Iran step down and turn over power to the Ayatollah Khomeini? "No matter that Khomeini was a madman. Carter had the U.S. Pentagon tell the Shah's top military commanders – about 150 of them – to acquiesce to the Ayatollah and not fight him.'
"The Shah's military listened to Carter. All of them were murdered in one of the Ayatollah's first acts."
"By allowing the Shah to fall, Carter created one of the most militant anti-American dictatorships ever."
Doesn't mind accepting "oil" money:
"NewsMax has reviewed annual reports that indicate millions of charitable dollars have flowed into the center from His Majesty Sultan Qaboss bin Said Al Said of Oman, Jordan, from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and from the Government of the United Arab Emirates."
"Furthermore, hundreds of thousands of dollars have been donated to the center by the Kuwait Fund for Arab Economic Development. H.R.H. Prince Moulay Hicham Ben Abdallah of Morocco has also contributed tens of thousands of dollars.
the financing behind Georgia’s Carter Center and the Jimmy Carter Library that raises serious doubts that the former president is, in actuality, a wholly neutral intermediary in the troubled region."
Liar extraordinaire:
Wednesday, July 1, 1998 edition of the Washington Times.
"The American people elected Jimmy Carter because he seemed to be more an American and less a creature of modern liberalism than his opponent, Gerald Ford. Candidate Carter called the American tax system 'a disgrace to the human race." He touted that as Georgia's governor, he had slashed the number of state agencies. He called for "a government as good as its people.'"
"Once in office, though, Mr. Carter inflated every noxious government program ever invented. He told the country that we had deserved to lose the Vietnam War. He helped destroy the Shah of Iran while kowtowing to the Ayatollah Khomeini, and ended up indecorously smooching America's worst enemy, Leonid Brezhnev, physically and otherwise. Therefore it is plausible to believe that Mr. Carter simply had run right and governed left, like so many politicians."
