Former President Jimmy Carter condemned possible chemical weapons attacks in Syria, but called for a “peace conference” and working with the United Nations, rather than using a military solution.
In a statement Friday from the Carter Center, the former president said that the U.N. investigation into possible chemical weapons attacks in Syria is under way and urged against action in the country without U.N. support.
“It is imperative to determine the facts of the attack and present them to the public. Those responsible for the use of chemical weapons must bear personal responsibility,” Carter said in the statement. “The chemical attack should be a catalyst for redoubling efforts to convene a peace conference, to end hostilities, and urgently to find a political solution.”
The Carter Center urged against a military response to possible chemical weapons use without a U.N. mandate, saying the action would be “illegal under international law and unlikely to alter the course of the war.”
“Instead, all should seek to leverage the consensus among the entire international community, including Russia and Iran, condemning the use of chemical weapons in Syria and bringing under U.N. oversight the country’s stockpile of such weapons,” the center said in the statement.

Carter is the biggest pussy in the world. Remember the Iran hostages? He should keep his piehole shut and go back to building houses for Habitat for Humanity.

Re: Jimmy Carter calls for Syria peace summit
Jimmy Cater was the only genuinely decent person we've had as president in my time and that's probably why he wasn't a good president. The president needs to be an asshole when necessary.

Interesting to me that Carter is always willing to criticise the sitting President. He obviously has been in the job so he has to know that doesn't help.

Re: Jimmy Carter calls for Syria peace summit
Carter is a lot like Facedown -- a backseat driver/Monday morning quarterback who likes to run his mouth, but when it comes time for action, he runs away like a frightened little girl. Carter may have been a good peanut farmer, but he sucked as a president and had no business being in a leadership position.Sheep_Mafia wrote:Interesting to me that Carter is always willing to criticise the sitting President.
