Or: How Big Jimmy Carter thought his head was when it came to the Middle East. Kenneth W. Stein, who served as the first Director of the Carter Center from 1983 through 1986, takes great issue with the former President’s latest book. How about this exchange?

Once, when I disagreed too strenuously, Carter impishly smiled and, with his blue-eyes twinkling, said, “Remember, Ken, only one of us was president of the United States.”

In other words: I’m the boss here, if you don’t like it, too bad so sad. Then there’s this:

Carter is frustrated with his successors’ Middle East policies. He believes they did not share the concern (George W. Bush), intellectual competence (Ronald Reagan), determination (George H.W. Bush), or experience necessary to pull off a negotiated solution. He believes Bill Clinton could have done a better job at the 2000 Camp David summit between Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) chairman Yasir Arafat and Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak.

Of course, Carter would blame the Israelis for the failed offer to the PLO of all of Gaza (which they now have and look what the Paleostinians have done with it? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!), 95% of the West Bank, and East Jerusalem for a capital! Utter and Total Bulls**t!

Conversely, Carter is convinced that he himself was the essential ingredient to enable the Egyptian-Israeli peace. However, Carter does not understand how fortunate he was to have in Begin and Sadat two leaders who needed agreement.

Yes, the Peanuf Farmer believed the size of his own head was so huge, he could do it all, so arrogant is he.
