President Carter: White House ‘Ordered’ Me To Not Go To Syria
President Carter: White House ‘Ordered’ Me To Not Go To Syria
Recently, the White House has launched partisan attacks against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) for taking a trip to Syria, while refusing to criticize similar Republican delegations.
Yesterday, former President Jimmy Carter revealed that he was barred from visiting Syria last year when he was abroad monitoring the Palestinian elections: “I have known President Bashar al-Assad since he was a college student, and I thought it might be helpful if I went and urged him to support the peace process in the Middle East. But for the only time in my life as a former president, I was ordered by the White House not to go.” Watch it:
Carter, a Nobel Peace Prize winner, also praised Pelosi’s trip, stating, “It’s long overdue, as a matter of fact.” He added, “When there is a crisis, the best way to help resolve the crisis is to deal with the people who are instrumental in the problem.”
Transcript:
QUESTION: Speaker Pelosi’s visit with President Assad today, her expressing concerns about Hamas, Hezbollah, her expressing concerns about foreign fighters crossing into Iraq from Syria, her relaying of a message from Israel to Syria about the desire to open peace talks — do you believe she’s being, essentially, a more effective emissary to the Middle East than Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice?
CARTER: Well, I wouldn’t want to compare the two women, no. But I was very pleased when I learned that the speaker would go to Syria. It’s long overdue, as a matter of fact. And I wrote, as I wrote in a book that I published that was published last year, I was scheduled to go to Syria on the same trip as to monitor one of the Palestinian elections because I have known President Bashar al-Assad since he was a college student, and I thought it might be helpful if I went and urged him to support the peace process in the Middle East.
But for the only time in my life as a former president, I was ordered by the White House not to go.
CARTER: I know that earlier, other members of Congress have gone, both Democrats and Republicans. And I was glad that she went.
But it’s very good to have the United States reach out to Syria, to see if they won’t be more accommodating because we still have to resolve the question of the Golan Heights. And I think that Syria can be quite helpful in assuaging the negative tendencies of Hamas. And certainly they have some influence that could be beneficial in Hezbollah. So, yes, I’m glad she went.
QUESTION: To clarify, you were asked by the White House not to go on this particular trip?
CARTER: No, when I was going to go there as part of my monitoring an earlier Palestinian election.

Completely unacceptable.
April 5th, 2007 at 7:59 pmYep. That’s the Stalinist Bush Team in action.

April 5th, 2007 at 8:02 pmJimmy Carter is a hero.
April 5th, 2007 at 8:02 pmFormer presidents are islamofascists too.We have to to fight our enemy home and abroad, up and down, here and there, in the kitchen and in the bathroom.
April 5th, 2007 at 8:03 pmIf anyone wants proof that the Bush administration IS CLEARLY NOT commited to the peace process, there ya go.
They rest my case.
April 5th, 2007 at 8:05 pmCarter should have told them to stuff it and gone anyway.
April 5th, 2007 at 8:05 pm“….But for the only time in my life as a former president, I was ordered by the White House not to go.â€
Can the White House do that?
That’s totally f*cked up!
April 5th, 2007 at 8:07 pmYes, Carter is my hero too. He’s a real christian, not a fraud.
April 5th, 2007 at 8:09 pmApril 5th, 2007 at 8:10 pm
Carter vs. Bush……no contest at any level…….Carter is thoughtful and intelligent about governing……..Bush is controlling, child-like and embarrassing.
April 5th, 2007 at 8:10 pmCarter: did graduate work in nuclear physics.
April 5th, 2007 at 8:15 pmBush: cannot pronounce ‘nuclear.’
Any questions?
It is very easy for me to say that Carter is perhaps my favorite former president.
April 5th, 2007 at 8:17 pmThis just again betrays the neocon idea that “diplomacy=surrender”
Carter is a statesman and his common sense approach reveals the difference between competant statesmanship and fascist lunacy. I wish he was running again in ‘08.

it’s all falling apart now… so much to clean up… for decades…

can’t have a Nobel Peace Prize winner screwing up the Empire building can we?????
April 5th, 2007 at 8:24 pmThe thugs are still out there allowed to continue mayhem and God only knows what else. It was mentioned some time ago by Boxer? that according to the Iraq war resolution 1441 if Bush wanted to attack Iran, he would have to prove Iran had something to do with 9/11 under this resolution.
Very worried.
CHIMPya MAKES WAR, NOT PEACE!!!! THE ONLY NOBEL PRIZE THAT CHIMPya WOULD EVEN HAVE A HOPE OF WINNING IS IF THEY MADE A NEW CATEGORY—CLASS “A” WAR CRIMINALS!!!!!

April 5th, 2007 at 8:30 pmWell, it’s about 4:40 AM in Tehran now. Has anything come out on the planned attack, or has it slipped 29 days?

April 5th, 2007 at 8:39 pmHow exactly can the President order a private citizen they can’t go to another country?
April 5th, 2007 at 8:40 pmof course they ordered Carter not to go.
April 5th, 2007 at 8:43 pmPinky(Bush) and the Brain ( Cheney) could not let something like diplomacy interfere with their plan to take over the World
It would have been out of character for Carter to tell Bush to go F**k himself, and travel to Syria anyway — but it would have been the right thing to do.
April 5th, 2007 at 8:45 pmBush prefers bellicose blustering.
Comment by lestatdelc — April 5, 2007 @ 8:40 pm
He asked that the tax payers support the endevor (Carter) and Bush told him to screw. In other words Carter was not representing the WH if he did go.
April 5th, 2007 at 8:46 pmKaty, I do understand you completely.
April 5th, 2007 at 8:48 pmNo room for complacency is a personal mantra I have used for a long time. So long that for me it is an affirmation of the whole path of life and my part in the Creation.
I felt in your post a belief you are seeing a “big picture”, and I related to it.
I was/am cheering you on…..:)

Tell CNN to get the facts right on Pelosi trip
For much of the past week, CNN and its White House correspondent Suzanne Malveaux have offered a steady stream of inaccurate and incomplete coverage of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) trip to the Middle East and her April 3 meeting with Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad.
Please join Media Matters for America in demanding that CNN and Malveaux stop misinforming viewers about Pelosi’s trip and present all the facts. CNN’s contact information can be found in our “Take Action!” sidebar on the right.

April 5th, 2007 at 9:12 pmWell, now.
What do you think the White House reaction to that will be? Will they charge their propagandists with treason? Will they publicly berate them for telling the world that the Brits were spying on Iran?

April 5th, 2007 at 9:31 pmmarie - that story fits with what i heard earlier on randi’s show…
she told of hearing neoCONs pundits on MSNBC calling those sailors cowards and saying they should be brought up on charges (of what?)…
they have to twist this around… it can’t be a good think that these sailors are freed… the neoCONs are so desparate… they don’t care who they slander…
it will be interesting to see if the poodle stands up for his charges…

Katy - thx for the mediamatters link. I emailed Suzanne and ripped her a new one… think I blew my chance of getting her number…
April 5th, 2007 at 9:45 pmThere is definitely something odd about the reaction of those marines/etc to the event. Not the capture, but what happened afterwards. Its odd that even the marine captain was ok to go along with the Iranian agenda. Their debriefing would be very interesting if anything were to leak - keep watching the news…Ahmadinejad played his cards perfectly… Chimpy and his Figleaf were left looking like idiots.

Heh.
April 5th, 2007 at 10:45 pmyou’re quite welcome, terrythe turtle, for the mediamatters link…
funny - my ex’s name is terry… known for being slow as a turtle…
(except for where it matters most) … he took to collecting turtles…
i won’t hold any of that against YOU…
so, where is the turtle reporting from this night?
April 5th, 2007 at 10:50 pmjust curious…
#54 LOL, don’t judge all Terrys harshly. My son, Terry, is a sweetie. :)
April 5th, 2007 at 10:54 pmSharon, sometimes I have a feeling that we will see the impeachment we have been longing for and that Bush&Co so deserve. There is just so much happening now, so many more lies and deceit … I think it may happen. (Actually, I’d like to see them stand trial.)
April 5th, 2007 at 10:57 pmToday I heard there is another investigation opening up on the appointment of the former swiftboater as ambassador.
The Turtle is at home tonight…. surprise of surprises….one week in every four or five…
April 5th, 2007 at 11:00 pmCarter was in Palestine, as a credentialed U.S. official, when he asked to go to Syria to meet with Assad. He wasn’t there as a private citizen, but a representative of the American government. He was an executive branch official when he was on that assignment, so he had to answer to the White House.
April 5th, 2007 at 11:18 pmWhat was Bush going to do, put him in Gitmo? Why didn’t he just go?
April 5th, 2007 at 11:28 pmI admire Carter but I am wondering.
huh… that’s not exciting… but most enjoyable, i know…
i don’t know where “home” is though… can you divulge?
daily show and colbert are repeats tonight, or i wouldn’t be on TP now…
waiting up for olbermann… i should get to bed though…
driving to st.louis tomorrow… a wearisome day ahead…

Comment by JPark — April 5, 2007 @ 11:36 pm
oh no!!! don’t ever take that attitude… don’t ever stop saying “i love you” and “stay sweet”… don’t ever stop with the hugs and even kisses…
April 5th, 2007 at 11:46 pmyou’ll know… but don’t ever stop… and don’t let HIM stop…
And I should be surprised because…? Chimpy has no credibility left. Actually, he never had any credibility.
April 5th, 2007 at 11:52 pm#62 I haven’t so far. He still runs up to me and gives me hugs when I pick him up. I would have thought he would be embarassed to do that by now but I am sure not complaining! I will take the hugs as long as he gives them. The kisses appear to be a bedtime thing.
April 5th, 2007 at 11:53 pm#64 - JPark
My youngest is a freshman in college this year, and when I go see him, he runs out of the dorm to give me a big hug and kiss. He never has been embarassed to to do that. It’s nice. :)
April 6th, 2007 at 12:21 am#65 But you have to understand we are both guys :). I kissed my gp til the day he died but that is rare. There is no way he hugs me in front of his friends when he is in high school. That just isn’t cool.
April 6th, 2007 at 12:28 am#65 That is cool that you have such an affectionate family.
April 6th, 2007 at 12:28 ambut that is rare. There is no way he hugs me in front of his friends when he is in high school. That just isn’t cool.
Comment by JPark — April 6, 2007 @ 12:28 am
it doesn’t have to be rare… it sounds sexist and you need to change that…
he WILL hug you in high school, even, and especially, in front of his friends, because it IS cool… it’s up to YOU to make sure of it…
it IS cool, jpark… don’t stigmatize it… there’s no shame…
stay sweet…
g’nite…
April 6th, 2007 at 12:42 am#68 That is idealistic. I will do my best to make sure he stays affectionate but I will not force him. If he decides he would rather not get teased for hugging daddy I am ok with it. Getting bullied is absolutely no fun. If he hugs in private I am ok with it.

April 6th, 2007 at 1:28 amTo CNN editors, Directors, Staff and Suzanne Malveaux,
“In a statement issued by the U.S. Embassy in Damascus,†the three Republican congressmen visiting Syria “said they had talked about ‘ending support for Hezbollah and Hamas, recognizing Israel’s right to exist in peace and security, and ceasing interference in Lebanon.’ ‘We came because we believe there is an opportunity for dialogue,’ the statement said. ‘We are following in the lead of Ronald Reagan, who reached out to the Soviets during the Cold War,’ it added.†April 3, 2007
All I can really say to you because of your recent beligerant hackery in assaulting Pelosi and Ignoring the Republicans in Syria- is Piss Off.
Michael Ware, John King and a few of the others over there deserve an organization and colleagues with more integrity than the putrid that is being put forth. I wish Michael Ware and John King and a few others were on a different network, because due to this recent slogging pitiful juvenile hackery I will refuse to watch your network. What the hell is the matter with you?! A two-year-old would be disgusted by the level of indecency you’re displaying. How many examples of the hipocracy and idiocy of this assault on Nancy Pelosi can there be, and you guys still just act like you’re in some fantasy land. Whatever. As I said before, all who are responsible for this, piss off. And no, the controversy will not cause me to watch, I will not be watching.

Anderson, you’re network is having a breakdown. What in the hell is this witch hunt for Pelosi? Look at the following:
“In a statement issued by the U.S. Embassy in Damascus,†the three Republican congressmen visiting Syria “said they had talked about ‘ending support for Hezbollah and Hamas, recognizing Israel’s right to exist in peace and security, and ceasing interference in Lebanon.’ ‘We came because we believe there is an opportunity for dialogue,’ the statement said. ‘We are following in the lead of Ronald Reagan, who reached out to the Soviets during the Cold War,’ it added.†April 3, 2007
And there are so many other examples of how ludicrous your CNN’s programming has been.
In 1997, Rep. Dennis Hastert (R-IL) led a delegation to Colombia at a time when U.S. officials were trying to attach human rights conditions to U.S. security assistance programs. Hastert specifically encouraged Colombian military officials to “bypass†President Clinton and “communicate directly with Congress.â€
…a congressional delegation led by Rep. Dennis Hastert (R-IL) which met with Colombian military officials, promising to “remove conditions on assistance†and complaining about “leftist-dominated†U.S. congresses of years past that “used human rights as an excuse to aid the left in other countries.†Hastert said he would to correct this situation and expedite aid to countries allied in the war on drugs and also encouraged Colombian military officials to “bypass the U.S. executive branch and communicate directly with Congress.â€
Subsequently, U.S. Ambassador to Colombia Myles Frechette sent a cable complaining that Hastert’s actions had undermined his leverage with the Colombian military leadership.
In other instances, Hastert actually guided congressional staff to unilaterally reach deals with Colombian officials:
House Foreign Affairs Committee staff, at the direction of the Hastert group, would fly to Colombia, meet with the nation’s anti-narcotics police and negotiate the levels and terms of assistance, the scope of the program and the kinds of equipment that would be needed. Rarely were the U.S. diplomatic personnel in our embassy in Bogata consulted about the “U.S.†position in these negotiations, and in a number of instances they were excluded from or not even made aware of the meetings.
And what about this!?!?…
New York Times, March 31, 1997 — reporting on a trip to China by House Speaker Newt Gingrich, one week after Vice President Al Gore’s trip:
Speaking with startling bluntness on an issue so delicate that diplomats have tiptoed around it for years, Newt Gingrich said today that he had warned China’s top leaders that the United States would intervene militarily if Taiwan was attacked.
As he left for Tokyo after a three-day trip to China, Mr. Gingrich said he had made it absolutely clear how the United States would respond if such a military conflict arose.
Referring to his meetings with China’s leaders, Mr. Gingrich said: ”I said firmly, ‘We want you to understand, we will defend Taiwan. Period.’”
He also said, ”I think that they are more aware now that we would defend Taiwan if it were militarily attacked.”
Mr. Gingrich, the Speaker of the House, delivered his message, among the most forceful ever given about Taiwan by a visiting United States official, to Wang Daohan, China’s chief representative in talks with Taiwan. Mr. Gingrich said he had given the same message to President Jiang Zemin and Prime Minister Li Peng in Beijing last week.
Chinese leaders offered no public response to Mr. Gingrich today. But on Friday, Mr. Jiang urged him to treat the Taiwan issue with care. . . .
Asked about Mr. Gingrich’s statements, a Clinton Administration official in Washington said Mr. Gingrich had received briefings about American policy toward China, but that Mr. Gingrich ”was speaking for himself” in his conversations with Chinese leaders.
The White House issued a statement saying that the policy of the United States was to ”meet its obligation under the Taiwan Relations Act, including the maintenance of an adequate self-defense for Taiwan,” and that the Administration would maintain its ”one-China policy, the fundamental bedrock of which is that both parties peacefully address the Taiwan issue. . . .”
In an interview on Friday, Mr. Gingrich said he had spoken with Mr. Clinton, and with Mr. Gore on several occasions, to make sure that their messages to Beijing dovetailed. At the time, he did not mention his message on Taiwan.
Several days later, Gingrich’s remarks in China led to this — New York Times, April 4, 1997:
China admonished the United States today to speak with one voice on foreign policy and accused Newt Gingrich of making ”improper” statements on Washington’s commitment to defend Taiwan from any military attack by the mainland.
The criticism was made by the Foreign Ministry spokesman, Shen Guofang, who earlier this week had expressed basic satisfaction with remarks made by Mr. Gingrich, the Speaker of the House, during a three-day visit to China.
The visit followed Vice President Al Gore’s first trip to Beijing. Both men spoke on issues of contention between Washington and Beijing, but Mr. Gingrich’s remarks were noteworthy for their directness and for exceeding the normal State Department formulations on American commitments to Taiwan.
China’s decision to criticize Mr. Gingrich came after he traveled to Taiwan on Wednesday and met with President Lee Teng-hui.
Back then, the media treated Gingrich like he was the American Prime Minister, and his right-wing supporters had no problem with the House Speaker travelling and expressing his own foreign policy views which deviated from the Clinton administration’s. Quite the contrary, many right-wing leaders — including Grover Norquist, Ralph Reed, and Vin Weber — went on PBS and praised Gingrich’s “aggressive role in China.”
They couldn’t have been more pleased that Gingrich did what, in their minds, the Clinton administration was failing to do — standing up to the Chinese. Gingrich, as House Speaker, was heroic for going on his own and doing that. The same behavior from Pelosi (which I’m sure is, in actuality, completely different for all sorts of unknown and indiscernible reasons) is now both a grave political mistake and a reckless breach of protocol.
The hypocrisy knows no end!!! CNN is obligated to fix the incredible damage it has caused with it’s utterly irresponsible ‘coverage’ of Nancy Pelosi’s trip to the Middle East.

If he is so smart, he should simply go run for president again. I dare him. Those of us who remember November 4, 1979 will not let him or the nation forget his selling us out for a year to the damn Iranians. He should stay in Plains, eat his peanuts, teach Sunday School and leave the 21st century alone.
