Hoy: Carter "worst ex-president" ever
The best thing that can be said about President Jimmy Carter's administration is that it was only four years long. The best thing about Carter's ex-presidency is his work with Habitat for Humanity. Just about everything Carter has done since he was booted out of the Oval Office in 1981 on the international stage has been at best a disaster.
Former President Carter, who helped broker the historic Camp David peace accord, said President Bush has pursued an "erroneous policy" that has fostered violence in the Middle East.
Carter said the United States should work for an immediate cease-fire between Israel and Hezbollah and the world community should concentrate on a long-term solution, but he is uncertain whether Bush can accomplish a cease-fire.
"It depends on whether world opinion is strong enough to get the administration to change its erroneous policy, which has been to encourage the continuation of attacks on both sides," Carter, a Democrat, told The Grand Rapids Press in an interview Friday.
First, the Arabs hate the Jews because they're Jews and there isn't squat an American president can do to change that.
Second, has Alzheimer's finally set in? Seriously, what evidence is there that President Bush has been encouraging "the continuation of attacks on both sides"? None. Seriously, in Jimmy's World (ohh...that's good...I'm going to start referring to it as that from now on -- for this reason too) President Bush was begging Iran and Syria to get Hezbollah to run across Lebanon's border with Israel and kidnap two Israeli soldiers.
"In my opinion, maybe the worst ally Israel has had in Washington has been the George W. Bush administration, which hasn't worked to bring a permanent peace to Israel," Carter told the newspaper.
Worst ally, huh? Jimmy's World is a bizarre place, especially considering this bit.
No one quite realizes just how passionately anti-Israel Carter is. William Safire has reported that Cyrus Vance acknowledged that, if he had had a second term, Carter would have sold Israel down the river. In the 1990s, Carter became quite close to Yasser Arafat. After the Gulf War, Saudi Arabia was mad at Arafat, because the PLO chief had sided with Saddam Hussein. So Arafat asked Carter to fly to Riyadh to smooth things over with the princes and restore Saudi funding to him — which Carter did.
So, does this make Carter the "best enemy" Israel has ever had?

Carter is an embarrassment even as a Christian, with his suck-off of every 2-bit anti-american dictator on the planet. Invites from Chavez, Jim Il-Jong, Castro? He's got 'em
