Carter predictably condemns Israeli raid on Gaza-bound ships
2010-06-04
Former President Jimmy Carter has predictably condemned a deadly Israeli raid on a flotilla of aid ships on its way to Gaza. In a pre-recorded statement Wednesday, Carter calls on the International Quartet, led by the U.S., to help end the closure of Gaza, and allow unification of Palestinians.

Carter says the raid is a reminder that "the failed policy of besieging Gaza mainly hurts civilians and agents provocateurs."

The Carter Center, a nonprofit started by him and his wife, says in the statement that it joins the U.N. Security Council in calling for a prompt, independent investigation into Monday's raid. Nine pro-Palestinian activists were killed.

Carter brokered a 1979 peace treaty between Israel and Egypt during his presidency. He has long said bringing peace to the Mideast remains one of his unfulfilled goals.
Obvious man is obvious.

#7  So the raid was obviously the right thing to do.

You won't go far wrong using Jimmuh as a negative weather-vane...

#5  Classic example of "if it upsets him, it must have been the right thing to do." We can only hope that obama one day is part of a completely non-influential group like jimmah's "the elders."

#4  Carter is such a pathetic individual, he has set himself up to be a hilarious hoax. Imagine if someone could slip an article through the net about how Carter suddenly had a vision, in which an angel told him to become an Orthodox Jew?

And he turns all his miserable powers to becoming an unpleasant Zionist. Starts growing a beard and long hair, wearing a yarmulke, and spouting against the Palestinians, Arabs and Muslims.

Reading such an article, Carter would probably have a rage stroke.

#2  To Carter, peace in the middle east means the destruction of Israel and the execution of all Jews.

Not that it would bring peace. The Islamic's will just have to war on each other to fulfill their addition to murder.

#1  I hate to wax nostalgic, but I'm going to miss ol' PeanutHead when he is no longer Worst President Ever. He has been Worst President Ever for, well, pretty much forever.
