Carter, who allowed Iran to fall to Islamic revolutionaries during his presidency, while allowing dozens of Americans to be captured, spoke to students Tuesday night. Much of the discussion was about current events in the Middle East, including Egypt.
Part-way through his lecture, Carter stated:
"I think the Muslim Brotherhood is not anything to be afraid of in the upcoming (Egyptian) political situation and the evolution I see as most likely. They will be subsumed in the overwhelming demonstration of desire for freedom and true democracy."This comes the same day that the Muslim Brotherhood stated that it will apply to become a political party. This also comes from a man who was "satisfied" with the 2004 elections in Venezuela, which were irrefutably rigged.

"My guess is the (Egyptian) military leaders don't want to give up their political influence or power... "The demonstrators will not accept anything less than honest, fair and open elections."Carter also promised that his foundation would be as "involved as possible" in the upcoming Egyptian elections.
Here's Carter's "Malaise Speech," widely regarded as one of the worst Presidential speeches in history:

Come one guys, quit beating up the easy targets...
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone else think that Carter looks like Emperor Palpatine?
ReplyDeleteThey might, as all Arab and Orientals that seek to utilize and abide by their religious precepts. I say: if we do not interfere with the Mid-east then they shouldn't interfere with us. We need to emphasize autonomy of culture. Yet--your concern is still Israel.
ReplyDeleteWhy wouldn't we support Israel? We are religiously, traditionally, and legally bound with our dear friends in the Jewish state. We are after all - founded upon Judeo-Christian values.
