Jimmy Carter Calls Condi Rice a Liar

Wed, Apr 23, 2008 at 3:22:43 pm PDT

Jimmy Carter continues to plumb new depths of disgraceful behavior: Carter says Secretary Rice ‘not telling truth’.

ATLANTA (Reuters) - Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter on Wednesday accused Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice of not telling the truth about warnings she said her department gave Carter not to speak to Hamas before a Middle East trip.

The State Department has said U.S. Assistant Secretary of State David Welch, the top U.S. diplomat for the Middle East, issued the warning before Carter, a veteran of Middle East diplomacy, went on his trip last week.

Rice said in Kuwait on Tuesday: “We counseled President Carter against going to the region and particularly against having contact with Hamas.”

“President Carter has the greatest respect for ... Rice and believes her to be a truthful person. However, perhaps inadvertently, she is continuing to make a statement that is not true,” a statement issued by the Carter center in Atlanta said on Wednesday.

“No one in the State Department or any other department of the U.S. government ever asked him (Carter) to refrain from his recent visit to the Middle East or even suggested that he not meet with Syrian President (Bashar) Assad or leaders of Hamas,” it said.

That's a pretty mild version of calling her 'a liar.'

But then again, I believe Carter to be a "well-intentioned person. However, perhaps inadvertently, he is continuing to take actions that are bad-intentioned."

Which is the mild version of calling him 'a moron.'

It's not a matter of deciding which one to believe, but which one to like.

And the likelihood that Rice is telling the truth is pretty high. After all, she runs the department that issued the warnings, and I seem to remember reading about someone at State saying publicly that it would be a Bad Thing for Jimmah to go to Hamas.

QUESTION: Well, here it is. Carter plans to go with the elders.

MR. MCCORMACK: Yeah.

QUESTION: The elders cancel their trip, and then he – and then after being specifically advised that this particular meeting with Hamas, if it should happen, is a bad idea, he’s going to go ahead and do it anyway. What does that say?

MR. MCCORMACK: That says that he is the former president of the United States and he will take his – take his own decisions. And if he decides to travel to Syria, we will provide full support befitting a former president of the United States while he is in Syria. One thing we will not do, however, is in – have the Department of State, in any way, engage in any sort of planning related to a meeting with Hamas.

I'm certain they have some kind of communication back-up if they officially told him not to go. I'd love to see it if they do.

But really, besides the entertainment value, what does it matter if they did or they didn't? He'd have gone anyway.

He's a walking turd so it's really a mystery as to why anyone bothers with him at all.

It would seem to me that if Rice or the state Dept. had issued a warning to Carter, then they should be able to produce it in printed form or by verifying an email...or something.

I did read in the news before Carter's visit that he had been asked not to go by the State Dept....Perhaps they thought that by issuing the statement via the media, that Carter would understand that they did not want him to go?

Someone is not telling the truth.

This is a Clintonesque point on the part of Dumbo. Somebody in the state department did not come up to him and address him with the proper degree of reverence and ask that he pretty please not talk to Hamas. In that his statement is probably true. However, it is certainly true that short of that, the communication that he shouldn't was loud enough for anyone to hear.

I'm am going to guess that he has been getting flack from Dem operatives about making this trip in an election year, especially when he was asked not to do it by a (Rep) administration. My guess is that his immediate concern is to be an honored guest at the Dem convention and he is getting some bad vibes from the party.
Obama has enough trouble w/ his own Hamas connections. He and the Dems don't need Carter hanging around.
Unfortunately, Carter is an attention whore.

I didn't know at the time that his talk on 'human rights' only applied to those followers of Mohammad the pedophile and similar idiocy. I still like Condi Rice in spite of what her loyalty to the current disaster that lives in the White House.

Jimmy Carter wants to be the keynote speaker at the Dem convention. First he sabotages the Bush policy of isolating Hamas, by giving effusive praise to Hamas and going to meet the leader of the Hamas genocide machine. Then he wants to blame the Bush administration for this sabotage that he carried out.

Carter is an enemy of Israel, an enemy of the Bush administration, and a foe of any rational policy of the US.

So is Rice. Not as bad as Jimmah but still not good. It's tough to decide which one to believe.

For me it's a no-brainer. The person who doesn't takes Hamas at their word.

Yes....Or at least he's afraid the Dems will try to hide him in a closet.
He was to be honored.
And they're afraid to do it....in public.

You gotta understand, Jimmah has sort of an "alternative" approach to the whole reality versus fantasy thing.

Shortly after he released his big apartheid turd, I saw Jimmah being interviewed on CNN. The interviewer mentioned that Bill Clinton had blamed Yasir Arafat, not Israel, for the failure of Clinton's attempts to broker peace at Camp David. According to Clinton's account, Arafat called him on the phone three days before the end of Clinton's presidency, and told Clinton "you are a great man." Clinton says his reply was "I'm a colossal failure, and you made me one."

Jimmah, on CNN, denied that this ever happened. "That's not correct," he kept saying. "President Clinton didn't say that. His memory is incorrect." I was as stunned as the CNN interviewer was.

Lizards, if at some point I start swearing on national TV that I know every word that was spoken in someone else's private telephone conversation five years ago, please have me committed for psychiatric treatment.

July 22, 1994. Thats the day I went into the Charlotte Public Library and saw the internet for the first time. I thought to myself, "This is going to change the world."

Little did I know...

Ha. The first time I saw the internet, I thought, "This isn't as good as Nintendo."

Computers are a fad.

Paranoid! There....

You are exhibiting a classic case of unrealized expectations. Age sometimes is part of the cause here.

Recessions come and go... that's what they do.

We have had several years of weak growth and poorly managed personal wealth and public wealth. Use this time now to optimize (i.e., get rid of the poor processes and replace them with better ones.)

It is happening under our noses
The oil suppliers and Soros and China
If our dollar are devalued then they have control
If we would not pay $12o dollars for oil they would have to drink it
If we did not rely on cheap Chinese products they would have no market
Blame the dems for all of it

You ever play sports for a first place team? Everybody wants a piece of you. This country is no different. But it requires a first rate defense against the attacks, and a first rate offense to keep us ahead. Wish I could say I saw it differently but I'm just bitter, clinging to my guns and Bible, and antipathy here in PencilVainYa.

I'd say it's more like complete and utter ineptitude by the entire Bush administration, how's that? With the mortgage mess, $120 oil, American food stores encouraging rationing of rice for crying out loud, no control of our borders, the folly of trying to convert 7th century primitives into modernity, the worthless dollar, etc; I'd say Bush is competing quite well with Carter for the worst President in living memory.

Oh how I wish we'd form OFEC (Organization of Food Exporting Countries) and shove some of the same tactics employed by OPEC down their fucking throats to their soon to be very hungry stomachs.

Unfortunately, we have no leadership on almost any level these days.

There's some truth there, I think, but not totally right. I think the rise in demand in China and India -- which has kept oil prices up, regardless of American cutbacks in demand, etc -- has a lot to do with the global fuel/food problem.

The problem is is that if we don't pay for the oil, someone else will.
