1. He's well past it; Cant he just retire?
Schnorrkell   (12.13.08)
2. He must be envious of Neville Chamberlain
Cynic ,   USA   (12.13.08)
3. Jimmy Carter's unrequited love for Hizbullah
Jake   (12.13.08)
You have to feel for the guy. Jimmy must be feeling personal anguish that his love and affections for Hizbullah have not been reciprocated. But then again, Jimmy never met a terrorist he didn't love. Hizbullah is headstrong and won't fall for empty overtures. She just wants to know that she's gonna be the only one!
4. Pathetic Carter
former Dem ,   Bethesda, MD USA   (12.13.08)
The doddering fool is either senile or classically evil, or both. A disgrace to the state of Georgia and the US, unfortunately.
5. Carter Was And Is A Disgrace
Dan ,   USA   (12.13.08)
6. A Supporter of Dictators and Terrorists
A.C.Guard ,   USA   (12.13.08)
By "leadership role" Carter means an inti Israel role.
7. What an idiot....
Andy ,   ramat hasharon   (12.13.08)
8. Because what could be better than meeting with terrorists..?
Zvi   (12.13.08)
HA is not merely a "political faction." It is a terrorist organization and a group that seeks to impose hegemony over Lebanese politics by force. It is an arm of the Iranian regime that occupies sections of Lebanon in the name of that regime's pointless jihad against Israel. Carter cannot offer Hizballah anything that would not severely damage either Lebanese independence and Lebanese open society or the safety of Israeli civilians. Hizballah will play a role in peacemaking if and only if its foreign sponsors want it to do so. There is no point at all in flattering the slave when the master is calling the shots. Carter is completely naive about the Iranian regime and its puppets. He insists on learning nothing from his own experience. Carter needs to stop meddling in the middle east; Camp David was helpful, but since then he has done far, far more harm than good.
9. Jimmy just jumped the shark
K ,   Texas, USA   (12.13.08)
that's all, folks
10. Delighted to meet with a terrorist organization?
Samuel Prime ,   Canada   (12.13.08)
How low can Carter stoop? Kissing the ass of terrorists who killed 100s of US marines is the most disgraceful form of diplomatic behavior. (His old age senility is catching up with him.)
11. Wow they can see a real nut case...good for them..lol
Gr ,   USA   (12.13.08)
12. Senile, old anti semite..
Arthur ,   SF, CA   (12.13.08)
13. CARTER THE WORST PRESIDENT EVER
Los Angeles   (12.13.08)
Carter is the worst president we have ever had. Who cares what Carter thinks?
14. take the hint
scott ,   chicago   (12.13.08)
there is no negotiating with these ideologies. of course he will blame something related to israel for the meeting not happening
15. Carter is a useful idiot for the Arabs
Michael Ezrachi ,   St. Louis, USA   (12.13.08)
Carter is a useful idiot for the Arabs, it is obvious that carter is an anti Semite, and anti Israel. If carter wants to promote peace, carter should go to Sderot and demand that the arabs stop shelling Sderot, or go to his buddies in hamas and demand the release of Gilad Schalit, unharmed and alive. Or carter could condemn the Iranian calls for the destruction of Israel. carter is a disgrace to all Americans.
16. Carter
Dodee ,   US   (12.13.08)
Iran did not speak to him while holding US hostage. They are not going to let Hzb talk with him now. The guy is a chump.
17. Carter is irrelevant
Avinoam ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (12.13.08)
He is either preposterously stupid or anti-semetic, and I somehow doubt that he is that stupid. Hizbullah? Syria? Iran? Peace? The Jews don't want him meddling in the Middle East, and clearly neither do the Arabs. Now that Iran is well on its way to becoming a super-power the terrorists have no need for their token American president.
18. carter is an israeli/ american spy. hizb arent that stupid!
gargur ,   gaza   (12.13.08)
19. next on carter's list: bin laden.
(12.13.08)
20. Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww....
Tahl ,   Israel   (12.13.08)
We're so sorry to hear, Jimmy, that our ruthless enemy, who cynically targets our country time and time again, who regularly calls to wipe us off the map, and whom you admire and love so much - snubbed you like this. This must have been a real heartbreaker for an Israel-hater like you. Maybe Nasarallah, in his devilish wisdom, realized that you are such a pathetic, senile idiot, that being seen next to you, might cause your loserness to rub off on him? And make him just as laughable and irrelevant as you are? We're so sorry about your broken date with your sweetheart. But don't worry. There are still plenty of wonderful fish in the sea. The adorable dreamboat in Tehran, Mahmoud-A, is waiting just for you, go for it Jimmy!
21. le-hoos-ze-her!
Jim Carey   (12.13.08)
22. Ha ha!
Ralph Muntz   (12.13.08)
23. far out in tra-la-la-la land
Moucho Garx   (12.13.08)
What a fool - bo back to the peanut farm, peanut brain! Jimmi 'apartheid-fighter' Carter is so far out in tra-la-la-la land, that he doesn't know who the bad guys are. What he should do is offer himself as a western hostage to his ol' iranian bum-chum, ahMADinejad, leader of the hizbo-hamas-syrian evil alliance, and then squeal for justice, freedom, democracy and equality for his fellow terrorists - from his cell.
24. The Hizbullah’s and Nasrallah.
Robert Bernier ,   Tel Aviv   (12.13.08)
The Hizbullah, exist only because it is supported by the dictatorship of Syria and the fanatic Islam regim of Iran. Their moves are not fair. They have an unfair agenda. They fight unfair battles in the wrong place at the wrong time. They should be destroyd to the last. History tells us that those who came by sword will go by the sword as described at : http://xrl.us/bjcsj
25. no, wait, he's so right!!
stooge   (12.13.08)
(Just wanted to try and balance the TBs out a bit, but really, Carter is an absolute and complete ninny) ; )
26. Carter de-lighted? Carter de-idiot! (End)
Raoul ,   Israel   (12.13.08)
27. # 20 Tahl
er der   (12.13.08)
"And make him (yalla-nasrallah) just as laughable and irrelevant as you are?" Yalla-nasrallah actually needs no help in that area. He's managed that one all on his own already (as he is hiding between cracks, unable to escape the smell of his own poop...).
28. They thought he was too anti Zionist for them
jason white ,   afula,israel   (12.13.08)
carter and all former U.S. presidents and all former politicians the world over should be ignored by the media.
29. Even Hizbullah Can't Stand Carter
Lawrence Tendler ,   Safed Israel   (12.13.08)
There's no Fool like an old Fool.
30. Carter Can't Seem To Take A Hint
