Who cares what this anti-Semite thinks?

HE AND HIS REPUBLICAN PARTY THINK'S THEY ARE SMARTER THAN AVERAGE AMERICAN WHO BARELY MAKES THEIR NEDDS. WHAT WE WILL DO EVEN THOUGH WE WILL WIN THIS WAR??? AT WHOSE COST AVERAGE MIDDLE CLASS AND HARD WOKING AMERICAN AND MAN AND WOMEN IN SERVICE. I AM SICK OF PLITICIAN WHO MAKES MONEY AND CARRIER ON INNOCENT PEOPLE.

I do. As a Jew I'm proud of Israel as a Democracy struggling to achieve freedom for all of its citizens. As an American, I'm proud of Jimmy Carter for vocally criticizing Israel's choices when it abuses its power over the peaceful 95% of the Palestinian population of the occupied territories.

Former President Carter has done a lot of good for humanity in America through his charitable organization. He might sound like Anti-Semi in the book his wrote, but his action has been anything but. The man has trying to help to resolve the Isreal-Palestine conflict for years for God sake. He hits it on the nail in regarding to Chenney. This arrogant, self center control freak has no credibility left in predicting anything based on his past record. What good has Chenney done for this country? Next to President Carter, his is no more than a speck of dust.

I care, because Mr. Carter is right.

Jimmy Carter??? Who cares what he says, except for the media. This same nut job also made critical comments of President Bush at Mrs. King's funeral. Jimmy...please go away, out of the public spotlight...your legacy gets more and more tarnished every time you open your mouth. Does the media forget that Jimmy Carter was a racial bigot when he ran for Governor of Georgia? He was anti-black and anti-Martin Luther King then.....why is he a media darling now?

Mr. Cheney could learn a lot from Mr. Carter about winning a war and improving America's damaged image abroad. As more countries dive out of the "coalition of the willing" in Iraq, Mr. Cheney may want to take a look at Mr. Carter's foreign policy record in the Middle East (the only President to successfully broker an agreement between Israel and Egypt), his record of fair elections in other countries and now is war on river blindness in southern Etheopia.

Mr. Cheney who tried to force the uranium issue down the American public's throat and then out Valerie Plame, a CIA agent, to protect his own rear end; Mr. Cheney who predicted that the insurgency in Iraq is in its last throes (2 years ago); Mr. Cheney who on Meet the Press said there was American intelligence that linked Al Quada w/ Sadaam Hussein has created a chasm of distrust at home and abroad because his judgement is almost as bad as his boss'.

Jimmy Carter on the other hand is not only through a private war reducing a horrible disease among some of the world's most wretched peoples. He's also rehabilitating the image of the U.S. abroad.

And Mr. Cheney could use some serious rehab!

for some one who was able to get 5 draft deferments.......in other words being a draft dogger ...he should be impeach like his boss

I completely agree with Pres. Carter. At the beginning of all of this, it was a battle to "win the hearts and minds" of those who would want (or be recruited) to do us harm. I would love to ask Pres. Bush if he feels our actions have reduced the number of these people or increased them. The answer is obvious. I truly feel that Mr. Cheney and this administration say to the American people what they feel is in the best interest of the country which many times is not the truth. "Last throes" and the president telling everyone that we were winning in Iraq up until days after the November election are perfect examples. In my opinion, their credibility is shot.

Like Pres. Bush, Pres. Carter speaks of being a Christian but unlike Pres. Bush, he has spent years attempting to help the people of Israel by finding a solution to the area's continuing struggle. I have read his book and I believe what he has to say based on 2 factors. When you look at his record and his personal characteristics, I don't feel he has any other motive than to try to find a way to lasting peace for the people of Israel and Palestine. Secondly, after seeing what Israel did to so many innocent people in Lebanon last summer, I do feel that it is possible for the Israeli treatment of the Palestinians in the occupied territories to be just as Pres. Carter stated. Israel, of course, has an obligation to protect is soldiers and country but they laid waste to the entire country of Lebanon in response to the actions of a few (as the US put off a Security Council vote to stop the violence on both sides.) This was another one of this administration's attempts to "win the hearts and minds." If a murderer with a gun runs for cover into an apartment building full of innocent people, is the correct response to bomb the apartment building?

I think the UK has the right idea when it comes to Iraq.

The presence of foriegn troops is exacerpating the situation by simply being there. It means that there are plenty of targets for the Jihadists to shoot at and to bomb. It also means the Iraqis are not having to step up to the plate. Instead the Iraqis are enabled to kill each other, ethnically cleanse areas, and basically cause absolute mayhem.

Extra troops are not the answer, it really isn't. Hopefully Congress can get the Hamilton Baker report enacted, otherwise there will be no end to the blood letting.

Mr. Carter is right. As someone said it earlier, "as an American, I'm proud of Jimmy Carter for vocally criticizing Israel's choices when it abuses its power over the peaceful 95% of the Palestinian population of the occupied territories." Why don't you like the truth?

I agree with President Carter and object to any thing the right wing nut job Cheny says. He is a bona fide liar

Having lived through the fiasco that was the Carter Presidency, I can only say that as a student of political history his is without a doubt the worst presidency in the history of the country. He single-handedly decommissioned the military to such an extent that our diplomats and citizens held hostage in Iran, by a group who had as a leader the current head of Iran, and could not even get a rescue force into position. The military budget was so run-down that the equipment failed enroute. He then was too timid to do anything else. He has since come out as a bigot, and racist, but which has been glossed over by his party and the news reporters. Instea of the truth about him and his single term in office, he seems to be made into a super statesman, just short of sainthood. Puuuuuhlease

What I'd like to see is when Cheney starts spewing his doublespeak on one of these so called "news" programs, one of the sanctimonious Blitzeresque anchorpeople just ask the clown:
Senor Cheney, Do you think you have any credibility left either here or abroad?

When did we vote to give the VP the right to take this country to war?
Napolean Bush and his aide, Mr Cheney have ruined the US credibility around the world. Run us into bankruptcy that it will take four or more generations to overcome. Have led our troops into the desert kingdoms that dont want or know anything about democracy and freedom for over 3000 years.
Impeachment is up to the Congress to get the backbone to enforce not just imply!

Carter is nothing but a full fledge liar..Even his staff has come to realize that an they resigned their positions.He is and will be remembered as one of the worse Presidents in history..Him an his Anti American buddy Michael Moore.

Cheney is a vampire. Literally. He is sucking the life force out of our Constitution at this very moment.

I have never thought much of Jimmy Carter as a president. Having said that, I think Cheney is a lying warmonger out more to make billions of dollars for his buddies over at Halliburton (of which he was CEO) who couldn't win the peace if his life depended on it. He has "regrets" about the thousands of dead American men and women that are being killed daily, and ten times that of those being maimed. I don't see his kids over there, nor of his lapdog Bush.

We killed Saddam, and left Iraq without a prayer for survival. The Iraqis had it better then than now even given Saddam's brutality. At least he kept the factions apart and the Iranians out.

We should have just killed Saddam and let those in Iraq sort it out by themselves while we left.

Yeah, stay the course, mission accomplished, and of course let's just send 20 or 30 thousand more of our bravest to become cannon fodder. How much sleep have you lost over that Cheney? And you too Bush? Not much I'm sure.

In the history of American Politics Cheney stands out as one of the worst. He makes Nixon look like an altar boy. This man is a pathological liar who still "believes" that there was some kind of connection between Al Qaeda and Saddam. I hope the Libby case nails this SOB as he is the mastermind of the leak.

I have read President Carter’s book, and he has said what I and many others have suspected for many years; that Israel has been systematically stealing Palestinian lands. There needs to be an Israeli State (pre 1967 borders) and a Palestinian State, secure in their borders. These borders need to be enforced and guaranteed by the UN. The situation of the Palestinian population in the occupied territories is deplorable. Whenever these issues are brought to public attention, Israeli supporters cry “anti-Semitism.”
I feel that if the US policy over the last twenty years had been more even-handed in regards to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and had not financed Israeli settlements on Palestinian land, there never would have been an attack on September 11. This was not done for religious reasons as the politicians would have us believe. Congress (both Democrats and Republicans) have looked the other way because they are afraid of the power of the Israeli lobby, and of losing of their financial support.
Bush and Cheney have made a mess of everything they have touched. They went to war in Iraq instead of concentrating on the terrorists who attacked us. They lied about the reasons for this war with Iraq. This war has increased the number of those who would do us harm, by many thousands. They have ruined US credibility worldwide. They have given tax cuts to the wealthy (whose sons and daughters do not go to war) when those funds are needed to pay for the war. If this war was being paid as it was being fought the Administration knows it would lose the support of those who received this tax cut. The cost of this war is over a billion dollars a day. After all this, most Republicans in Congress are still supporting the Administration’s war policies.
Democrats must support the troops and come up with a plan to get us out of the Bush/Cheney war in Iraq. We cannot get out of Iraq tomorrow, but we can start the process. Democrats said they could do it. Now it’s time for action.
