Jimmy Carter gave a little speech at UC Irvine yesterday. The UCI Muslim Student Union has two weeks o' hatred and terrorist sympathizing and Israel bashing coming up, so presumably this was some sort of symbolic kickoff. Reut Cohen msg'd us to let us know that Carter was at UCI at the behest of the School of Social Science and the Center for Peacebuilding - because he did such a good job making peace in the Middle East.

Camp David, for instance, was awesome. He assured Israel that the US would help guarantee its security, if only it would give up the strategic depth and natural resources of the Sinai (question for another time: does that mean that when Carter urges the US to downgrade its relationship with Israel, he's actually personally in violation of Camp David?). As we can see, Camp David is working out great. We've had a couple decades of relative peace, and now the nuclear destruction threats are back on the table:

Just to be clear - we're not blaming Carter for Camp David. It's not like Israel wasn't completely thrilled with the possibility that some Arab state would pretend not to want to wipe it out for a couple years. What we're doing is mocking people - and organizations - who think that Camp David represents some kind of spectacular, long lasting success (potential counter-argument: the peace treaties with Egypt and Jordan paid dividends during Lebanon II because there was no chance that Syria's Arab allies would attack Israel while the IDF was in the north... except the IDF couldn't commit all of its resources to the north because the smuggling that Egypt allowed into Gaza meant that the Palestinians were ready to make war from there anyway).

It's really tough to appreciate just how much damage Carter did to this country. Some time last year All Things Beautiful passed on a quote from historian Paul Johnson where he called th Carter administration "America's "suicide attempt". Un fact, you should go read that whole ATB post - it's old, but Alexandra's word-count vs. brutality ratio is truly staggering. No matter how much you know about Carter, we promise you will learn about at least one new way that he tried to undermine US security. Cross our hearts.

And yet Carter still feels that he has the right - the "obligation" - to give advice to the US about foreign policy. Shouldn't someone have to have at least one success to their name before they take it upon themselves to dispense advice? As opposed to Carter, who represents literally nothing but a staggering mountain of failures.

We leave you with this picture that we jacked from LGF that Charles jacked from The David Project:

Of course, Carter is in no way responsible for the succor that he provides to the world's most vicious anti-Semites. After all, he's being brave by criticizing Israeli on college campuses.
