Jimmy Carter-You Embarrass Me
Posted by Raven on July 31st, 2005
The one time peanut farmer, turned President of the US is now a Sunday school teacher. And he’s at it again. Bashing America and the Bush administration about the Gitmo “embarrassment”.
BIRMINGHAM, England — Former President Carter said Saturday the detention of terror suspects at the Guantanamo Bay Naval base was an embarrassment and had given extremists an excuse to attack the United States.
Carter also criticized the U.S.-led war in Iraq as “unnecessary and unjust.”
I think Jiminy Carter is an embarrassment to America, to our service members and to all freedom loving people.
The Nobel prize winner of has-been days is the king of appeasement.
“I think what’s going on in Guantanamo Bay and other places is a disgrace to the U.S.A.,” he told a news conference at the Baptist World Alliance’s centenary conference in Birmingham, England. “I wouldn’t say it’s the cause of terrorism, but it has given impetus and excuses to potential terrorists to lash out at our country and justify their despicable acts.”
And Jiminy is the expert on this stuff now isn’t he? Is this the same man who sat around for months in a state of confusion and inaction after our fellow citizens were taken hostage? Is this the same Carter who placed Castro high up on a pedestal as a caring man? Is this the same man who claimed the recent elections in Iran were better managed than the US elections?
Critics of President Bush’s administration have long accused the U.S. government of unjustly detaining terror suspects at the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base on the southeastern tip of Cuba. Hundreds of men have been held indefinitely at the prison, without charge or access to lawyers.
“What has happened at Guantanamo Bay … does not represent the will of the American people,” Carter said Saturday. “I’m embarrassed about it, I think its wrong. I think it does give terrorists an unwarranted excuse to use the despicable means to hurt innocent people.”
I think allowing these terrorists to run free could result in the deaths of many innocent people, in America and in other freedom loving nations. And did he take a poll of the American people to justify that statement about not representing the will of the people? Maybe the people of his liking- liberal, limpy dicked, lunatic losers such as himself feel this way, but not all Americans. At least he calls the terrorists what they are…and he does admit that the terrorists use Gitmo as an UNWARRANTED excuse for their actions. He’s a rank above some of his peers.
Earlier this month, Carter called for the Guantanamo prison to be shut down, saying reports of abuses there were an embarassment to the United States. He also said that the United States needs to make sure no detainees are held incommunicado and that all are told the charges against them.
Carter, who won the 2002 Nobel Peace Prize, has been an outspoken critic of the Iraq war.
“I thought then, and I think now, that the invasion of Iraq was unnecessary and unjust. And I think the premises on which it was launched were false,” he said Saturday.
No I think Jiminy is just looking to re-write history about himself. He’s trying to leave a legacy that doesn’t include visions of him being a failure as President…he’s trying to give himself an extreme makeover in his old age.
It’s funny how many liberals find themselves in need of these makeovers isn’t it?

CARNIVAL OF THE CLUELESS #8
Last weekend, my little Illinois town celebrated it’s “Founders Days,” featuring a parade, fireworks, flea market, and of course, a carnival.
One of my favorite carnival games is the target shooting game with ducks all lined up in …
