Not sure about you guys but I feel so much better.
(National Post) — I guess we can all relax about the fate of the Middle East.
Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter assures us that he knows members of the Muslim Brotherhood “and they’re not anything to be afraid of.”
Jimmy Carter knowing members of the Brotherhood is his version of “some of my best friends are. . . .”
Arguably one of the worst U.S. presidents, Carter joins Barack Obama’s National Intelligence Director, James Clapper, in seeing no threat from the Muslim Brotherhood, which others see fomenting trouble in Arab countries.
Until embarrassed staff members corrected him, Clapper said the Brotherhood was a “secular” organization when, in fact, it’s whole rationale for existence is spreading Islam and Sharia law throughout the world. Some secularism!
Jimmy Carter’s latest pronouncements were at the University of Texas where he declared his “proudest accomplishment” as a one-term president (defeated by Ronald Reagan in 1980) is that “I never dropped a bomb or fired a bullet, or shot a missile.”
