Say what you will about the retired GRF, GHWB or WHC, but none of these former POTUS' are an embarrassment to this country.
Carter is an embarrassing and deplorable piece of fucking shit.

The embarrassment here is calling an ex-president a "douchebag" and a "piece of shit" because you disagree with him. What have conservatives done do traditional civility?
Seymour Hersh reported in this week's New Yorker that Israel had planned the aerial campaign against Hezbollah earlier this year and cleared it with the U.S. (no surprise -- they went to Cheney first) in advance. Did you think they were just improvising after those soldiers got kidnapped? Please. Do you think that it's out to lunch to say that we encouraged Israel?
Carter is far from the only person who thinks that Israel's response was disproportionate and unwise. Now that the dust is settling, we can see that the effects of Israel's campaign were to trash a good amount of Lebanon, strengthen Hezbollah politically in a huge way, and enlarge the UN peacekeeping force in southern Lebanon. Two months ago, are any of those results that Israel would want at all, let alone at the costs it incurred?
Friends point out when friends screw up. Israel screwed up.

1) Remember your snarky comment the next time Panda or Wonk makes a Bushit or Shrub comment
2) I'm surprised it took you this long to point out the Sy Hersh comment. In any event, I'm aware of his article. Just as I am aware of a number of staged events, doctored photos, and outright lies perpertrated by the MSM.
3) Israel's sole screw up was that it pretended to be the US - relying on air power instead of IDF boots on the grounds - instead of Israel.
4)Carter says the attack was "unjustified." Well perhaps as the dictator-coddling jackass that he his, he thinks its okay to sit back and watch while your borders are penetrated and your soldiers are killed. They also did not bomb "the entire nation of Lebanon" - this blatant hyperbole is solely geared to inflame.
