| Worst President Ever sez Israel has arsenal of 150 nuclear weapons |
| 2008-05-27 |
| Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter has said Israel holds at least 150 nuclear weapons, the first time a U.S. president has publicly acknowledged Israel's atomic arsenal. Asked at a news conference at Wales's Hay literary festival on Sunday how a future U.S. president should deal with the Iranian nuclear threat, Carter put the risk in context by listing atomic weapons held globally. "The U.S. has more more than 12,000 nuclear weapons, the Soviet Union (Russia) has about the same, Great Britain and France have several hundred, and Israel has 150 or more. We have a phalanx of enormous weaponry ... not only of enormous weaponry but of rockets to deliver those missiles on a pinpoint accuracy target," he said, according to a transcript of his remarks. Carter also condemned Israel's blockade of the Gaza Strip as "one of the greatest human rights crimes now existing on Earth," according to the Agence France-Presse news agency. Carter said in reference to the situation of Palestinians in Gaza that, "There is no reason to treat these people this way." |

| #12 ONLY 150? Slackers. I would expect enough to do a proper atomic carpet bombing of Syria. |

| #8 Carter the Norma Desmond of politics. Sunset Boulevard, set in '50s Hollywood, focuses on Norma Desmond, a silent-screen goddess whose pathetic belief in her own indestructibility has turned her into a demented recluse. We could only hope that Jimmy would become a silent and a recluse. Stick to your woodworking hobby Jimmy. Critical thought has long since left you. |

| #7 His funeral will be a very interesting event. The MSM was forced to admit how much it had screwed up at Reagan's by the national outpouring of grief. I'd bet the peanut farmer's is private. |

| #3 I'm curious where EX-President Carter got that number? Was and is it classified information from when he was the worst president? If so then wouldn't disclosing it be treason? I wonder what other state secrets he might have revealed to his friends (the terrorists). |

| #2 Carter said in reference to the situation of Palestinians in Gaza that, "There is no reason to treat these people this way." Yes, Jimmeh, there is a reason: they constantly attack Israel. They have done nothing but seethe and whine since Israel withdrew. They blame all their problems on Israel, and do nothing to help themselves. |

| #1 "Missiles" Dumbass, not "Rockets" they can hit a very small target by guiding while in flight. I guess if it goes "Whoosh" when launched Prez Dumbass doesn't care what lifted off. |
