Former US President Jimmy Carter accused Secretart Rice about not telling the truth about warnings that she said that her department gave Carter not to speak to Hamas before a Middle East Trip.
He goes on to say in the article that .he isn't calling her a liar, but she did lie about this
This is just outright sticking the fingers in the ears and saying "Ican't hear you.....I can't hear you"

4. Here are the first 4 paragraphs...
ATLANTA — Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter on Wednesday accused Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice of not telling the truth about warnings she said her department gave Carter not to speak to Hamas before a Middle East trip.
The State Department has said U.S. Assistant Secretary of State David Welch, the top U.S. diplomat for the Middle East, issued the warning before Carter, a veteran of Middle East diplomacy, went on his trip last week.
Rice said in Kuwait on Tuesday: "We counseled President Carter against going to the region and particularly against having contact with Hamas."
"President Carter has the greatest respect for ... Rice and believes her to be a truthful person. However, perhaps inadvertently, she is continuing to make a statement that is not true," a statement issued by the Carter center in Atlanta said on Wednesday.

11. I posted that last night
There was no way Carter was going to do something that controversial without State Department knowledge and approval. He's way past the age where he's interested in gallivanting around trying to hotdog diplomacy.
I'm astonished by the naivety of some of the posters on DU.
Perhaps Spoiled Rice simply wasn't notified by the rest of the State Department. It's not like she's actually being allowed to approve or veto anything there any more.

19. Even when he was President he was honest to a fault, maybe too honest
When he sent in the choppers to try to rescue the Iranian hostages, and the chopper went down, the man got on TV and took the entire blame onto himself. He said something like it was my decision and it turned out poorly. Can you imagine * doing anything like that?
Oh **** you
You cannot rewrite history. That rescue operation was FUBAR from the get go and mostly because of his dumb ass

20. I believe that was the last time the buck stopped at the Oval Office.
If * did it, I would probably become afraid because surely I would be living in a an episode of the Twilight Zone.
