KABKABIYA, Sudan - Former President Carter got in a shouting match Wednesday with Sudanese security officials who blocked him from a town in Darfur where he was trying to meet representatives of ethnic African refugees from the ongoing conflict.


clickie.


maybe THAT'S what our foriegn policy should be. no more troops, no more treaties. we just need to send battle-hardened ex-presidents to crisis areas to get in some faces.

jimmy carter, this Bud's for you!

clearly you missed the sarcasm. lol. i thought maybe the ( "this bud's for you" would make it clear. my bad. no more early morning posts for me)

of course the man was a wuss. the man was a baptists peanut farmer. however he DID win the nobel peace prize, and was actually ( and apparently continues to be) quite the diplomat after his presidency.

Like tx said, where the hell was this guy when Iran had our hostages?

CD--he is not quite the diplomat after his presidency either..He has repeatedly gone into to countries to negotiate without the president's permission or approval.. I think he is really just a spotlight junkie...

I remember the media saying he was one of the smartest people on the planet and a nuclear physicist. He is neither. He has a bachelor in science.

He increased taxes to SAVE SSN...it did not work...

He created the Dept of Education & Dept of Energy--two of the biggest boondoggles we have ever had...

Yes, this bud is for you, you dumb peanut farmer..

I was wondering if he mentions anything about the claim that several former hostages make that Ahmadinejad was one of the captors.

He does, but I think he glosses over it as just an allegation, not a fact. Let dig the book out and have a peek at it again.
