IT IS NO SECRET WHO CARTER SUPPORTS IN THE M.E.,WECAN THANK HIM THATHE WAS NOT PRESIDENT AT THE TIME OF 9/11 AND AMERICAN DIPLOMATS HAVE A LOT TO THANK HIM FOR HOW HE HANDLED THE U.S.A. DIPLOMAT EMBASSY HOSTAGE SIEGE.BUT, AS I REGARD HIM AS AN INCOMPETANT PERSON, HE MUST BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY .ERRORS, HIS PAST RECORD . HE IS THE PROSPECTIVE LEADER THAT WANTS TO HEAD THE GROUND SWELL OF ANTI BUSH OPINION .. HIS POLICIES ARE NOTCONDUCIVE TO WAGING A SUCCESSFUL WAR WITH A TRULY "UNITED" STATES OF AMERICA AGAINST IRAN ,SUPPORT FOR BUSH MUST BE MAINTAINED INORDER TO BRING ORDER TO A TURBULENT M.E., WE MUST REMIND OURSELVES THAT CARTER IS NO FOOL AND EVERY EFFORT SHOULD BE MADE TO UNDER -MINE HIM AND CONSTANTLY POINT OUT HIS MULTIPLE FAILED POLICIES
32. Jimmy Carter Expert on Iran? HAHAHA!
The Doc ,   Haifa, Israel   (09.20.07)
Yes, he is the same President whose gloriously failed rescue operation ended in flames! Same Jimmy Carter who did NOTHING against Iran when Iran invaded US territory (The American Embassy in Teheran). He did not act then, when it was easy to clean up the place of the crazy Ayatollah Khomeini who was nurtured by the French (yes, ze French). And as a BIG slap on his face, the hostages were freed on the day R. Reagan was sworn! His claim to the crown of fostering the Peace between Egypt and Israel is false too. The kudos go to the two great leaders of the time - Menachem Begin and Anwar el Saadat. Carter was only the maid who cleaned up the room they stayed during the negotiations. What a pathetic little imbecile! Now he is busy writing anti-Israeli books full with lies and venom and suddenly he becomes an expert on Iran and gives us advice? Well, Jimmy, allow us to bluntly IGNORE your insane rants. I can't believe the Americans were so blind as to vote for such a miserable failure. It is sad to see a retired American President leaving us with such a long trail of bigotry, lies, failures and black marks on the American History. Jimmy - go back to your bed and ask the nurse to give you a bit more of those pills. It seems that they have lost their tyranquilizing effect.
33. GREAT JOB TOPPLING THE SHAH, DHIMMI, THANKS !

34. Carter is a threat
Josef Matamoros ,   Finland   (09.20.07)
Carter is a threat to mental sanity. Take him seriously, and he becomes a threat, take him lightly and he turns into a joke.
35. Elder of moron
Greg ,   Israel   (09.20.07)
I think this just about sums it up: http://www.israellycool.com/2007/09/20/thoughts-of-the-elder/
36. YOUR TIME IS UP
ME ,   UK   (09.20.07)
37. carter dumb not stupid
alan ,   anilca   (09.20.07)
this is not intended to be inflamatory;merely controversial. Carter: the President who let American captives cool their heals in Iran for several hundred days is now an expert on the intentions of the Iranians Would be funny if it were not so pathetic
38. EVERY EXPERT SAYS IRAN'S NUCLEAR ACTIVITY IS NON-CIVILIAN
Gideon   (09.20.07)
39. Hullo Mr Carter. I notice you say ALMOST!
Tim - Brighton ,   UK   (09.20.07)
How ALMOST is ALMOST inconceivable? 10%? 5%? What if the attack is chemical or worse? Mr Carter. Your ALMOST is NOT GOOD ENOUGH
40. Jimmy Carter was my Army colonel father's favorite President
Rivkah   (09.20.07)
That is because President Carter was for peace. When Carter gave away the Panama Canal America built and paid for which enabled Panama to become a nation, separate from Columbia, my father said America paid Panama $4,000,000. a year for the use of the canal zone land which was the same in the 1970's that America paid per year in 1904 or thereabouts, which was unfair in my father's opinion. Being a career US Army officer, my father looked for peace presidents because he dreaded wars. Having said that, it is my opinion that the Panama Canal was America's, bought and paid for with American blood and funding. Letting a Red Chinese Army front company run it (Hutchinson-Wampoa) has resulted in an invasion of Red Chinese into Central America and across the southern US border, entering illegally. Estimates are that 40 per cent of the illegal border crossers are OTM which means Other Than Mexicans. Red China has set up military bases in the Caribbean, too, which is a threat to America. NOW, the Honorable Jimmy Carter says Iran is not a threat to Israel. He wants peace, but misses the verses in the Bible that say ARMAGEDDON is a CONSEQUENCE of dividing "MY LAND" referring to GOD's LAND. "By peace he destroys many" is a description of a very destructive world leader which is applicable to many on the world scene today.
41. #32 Doc: The hostages were released after Hon. Jimmy Carter
rivkah   (09.20.07)
PAID BILLIONS of DOLLARS to Iran for them according to the movie "Obsession" available on the internet at www.obsessionthemovie.com . That gave the Moslems a taste for US money paid to terrorists for concessions. The Hon. Jimmy Carter is like Exc. Shimon Peres: he does not quit and he hopes for peace. But the problem is that they want peace by dividing God's land that the Bible says leads to Armageddon. Mass deportations of PALS to other Moslem countries is a better answer, as well as UN sanctions against countries like Syria and Iran that fund terrorism and attacks on Israel.
42. Carter
Dr John Maxwell ,   Rechovot Israel   (09.20.07)
And if he is wrong what will he say " OOPPS" The last time Carter tried anything connected to the Iranians( American hostages rescue) he couldn't even find the damn place!!
43. Carter presided over Islamic revolution
russel ,   tlv   (09.20.07)
When Carter was president the Shah was deposed, the Ayatolah swept into power and the Islamic revolution began, sowing the seeds for 9/11 and all the evil that now befalls the world. Carter also botched the rescue of American hostages from the Iranian revolutionary guards of whom the current Iranian president was a member. Carter fluffed it then, Carter wants us to fluff it now. Carter is in the pay of the Saudi's now; I guess he was back then as well. The man is a traitor in every sense of the word - to his country, to his religion and to the Western world.
44. The product of Mr. Carter
QmAn ,   london   (09.20.07)
Iranian regime is a product of this man and we irania will never forgive him what he did to Iran.
45. President Carter
Walt ,   USA   (09.20.07)
I am just trying to figure out why people still listen to him. He was a failure as a leader, and really does not have anything to teach us. It is time to send him to a nursing home.
46. Teheran Hostage drama was on Carters Presidency!
Alan ,   SA   (09.20.07)
47. I'm convinced that when they gave him a brain scan, they
DID NOT have the ,   machine plugged in!   (09.20.07)
48. American people passed judgment on Carter in 1980.
Sidney ,   USA   (09.20.07)
Even at Democratic conventions, he is not mentioned. Let him rest in peace.
49. Carter A Classic Anti-Semite
Joe ,   Afula, Israel   (09.20.07)
Carter is a classic example of an anti-semite. How else can you explain this statement? iran has said they want to wipe israel off the map and that Isrel has no right to exist. Now they are trying to make nukes and we have this ridiculous statement from Carter. He is Chamberlin of 1939 all over again and can not be trusted.
50. And God Didn't Make Little Green Apples
Jason Derrick ,   Sydney Australia   (09.20.07)
And it don't rain kassams in Sderot in the summertime There's no such thing as re-armed Hizbullah and Nasrallah is a nursery rhyme...
51. Carter the courageous
Walldizo ,   Damas   (09.20.07)
Before reading your contribution I thought you would mention Israeli Nuclear arsenal...Oooops made a mistake meaning Iranian Nuclear Warheads aimed at AMERICA, EU and israel.Carter is a great man regardless of what some of you may think of him.Exposing Israeli evil intentions is the duty of all decent beings, Carter is one of those rare brand of people whose numbers are on the rise.What Carter had done to Israel, in terms of establishing its hegemony over the region, exceeds all aid provided by all US Presidents compound.So , show at least some respect for the guy. Bottom line, as long as Israel continue to possess nuclear weapons and continues to threaten the safety of the region,its only natural that all those threatened by Israeli bellicosity would tend to go nuclear. Wisdom states that we all drop this phobic attitude and start realistically, resolving the existing issue namely ;ending Israeli occupation and the liberation of Arab land.
52. Latest AS slogan"Its time for a little DEBATE"
Alan ,   SA   (09.20.07)
53. However the main DEBATE is how to eliminate Israel
(09.20.07)
54. He's right...for now...
daniel   (09.20.07)
Thankfully we only have to wait till they get nukes
55. Carter Crap
Brod ,   USA   (09.20.07)
It is not surprising to see an Antisemite Carter to say such crap. It would seem that to him an actual threat to Israel would be when Israel is vaporized with a Mushroom Cloud.
56. carter is really funny!
(09.21.07)
interesting how the carter PEACE ORGANIZATION is actually funded by a coutry (saudi arabia) who exports and finances the BIGGEST TERRORISM IN THE ENTIRE WORLD. says something, doesn't it?
