If Carter Does this...

...in my mind, he will forever be an antisemite. Not kidding. This would just be the last straw:

As Palestinian Arab rockets struck two Israeli towns yesterday, U.N. bodies prepared to launch no fewer than two overlapping "fact-finding" missions to second-guess Israel's anti-terrorist tactics. President Carter could head one of those missions.

The U.N. General Assembly is expected to convene a special emergency session tomorrow to deal with the November 8 Israel Defense Force artillery strike on the northern Gaza town of Beit Hanoun, which killed 19 civilians. A draft resolution for the assembly session calls on the U.N. secretary-general to establish a fact-finding mission into the event and requests that he report back to the assembly in a month.

And yesterday in Geneva, the U.N. Human Rights Council, which in its five months of existence has failed to pass one resolution on any country other than Israel, concluded its third emergency session on the Jewish state. In the session's resolution, the council called on its president, Ambassador Alfonso de Alba of Mexico, to establish a fact-finding mission to investigate the incident at Beit Hanoun.

A diplomat in Geneva who requested anonymity said the sponsors of the resolution are planning to ask Mr. Carter to head the investigation. Other candidates include the diplomats Martti Ahtisaari of Finland and Sadako Ogata of Japan.

Israel, which is conducting its own investigation into the incident, has yet to decide on its level of cooperation with the U.N. probes.

"I wish there was some coherence at the U.N.," a U.N. official who requested anonymity said yesterday. As things stand, he added, no rule exists to prevent system-wide redundancies where separate bodies can create missions to investigate the same event.

The proposed resolution for tomorrow's General Assembly session draws most of its language from a Security Council resolution proposal that was vetoed on Friday. In addition to the fact-finding mission, the new proposal calls on "the international community, including the Quartet" — America, the United Nations, the European Union, and Russia — to establish "an international mechanism to protect civilians."

Ha.  What they meant to say is "to protect non-Jewish civilians."  The UN does not give a rat's ass about Jews. They can kiss mir in tuchas.

Jimmy is an embarassment. His jealousy of Richard Nixon has corrupted him. There is nothing he will not say or do to achieve Sainthood. (At Nixon's funeral, you could watch Carter fill with anger. He was a President as Nixon, but he had not been driven from office. His march for the Nobel Peace Prize began then. When he won, the committee said it was only to given to embarass Bush. Carter should have refused, but he didn't.)

Carter certification of Chavez's election was a disgrace. His meddling in North Korea was wrong.

He has lost his center of being. He no longer knows who he is, was, or will become. He is an embarassment without Rosalyn to keep him focused.

He coulda been someone great.
