A commenter (cfbleachers) at Victor Davis Hanson's blog noted this:

It appears that we must relearn our ABC's.

Baker, Carter and Duke have grabbed the headlines recently and it appears they have been searching high and low for someone to fill the missing "A" in their alphabet.

Baker wishes to ignore history, because he views it as too messy and inconvenient...and Israel is a small price to pay.

Carter wishes to rewrite history, because it bears witness to his sordid, infeffectual and weakling past...and Israel is a small price to pay.

Duke wishes to repeat history, because blind hatred is an opiate for a bigot...and all the sons and daughters of Israel are a small price to pay.

So off they go to find the perfect "A" when they come upon Ahmadinejad...who gleefully agrees that Israel is indeed a very, very, small price to pay and by the way, he is quite willing to lead the charges.

ABCD, now in place... perfectly aligned.

And our honor as a nation, is a small price to pay.

Ahmadinejad and Duke, carousing around Tehran actively denying this little bit of history that proves that they speak with forked tongues. Both are pimples on the ass of humanity, unable to see, and unwilling even if they were able. Articulate in their denial of the obvious and evil in their articulation. Duke objects to bringing up his history as a KKKer, but then this is the same guy that objects to bringing up real WWII history and the accompanying holocaust.

Baker, ahh, James Baker, aged bureaucrat pulled from mothballs and given a last chance at greatness. The ISG report lays the problem at the feet of Israel which is as close to denial as one can come. Israel is not the problem, let us remember that each square foot of "Israeli held" territory is the result of it's neighbors attacking Israel. The Pali's could have had their state long ago, but that wouldn't suit the Arabs purpose. You will not find Israeli schools teaching that muslims are the sons of pigs and monkeys as you will find in Palistinian schools. Israeli children are not taught that trees will call out "oh jew, come and kill this muslim that is hiding behind me." Baker is one significant part of the reason that Hussein had 12 years to thumb his nose at the United Nations. WMD? Name one national security agency that didn't think he had them. Germany, France, England, Russia etc. all thought he did, and maybe they were right and they haven't been found yet. Who knows?

Baker wants us to talk to Iran and Syria. To what purpose? We know that they are supporting terrorism, we know that they are violating the borders of Iraq with almost total impunity, we know that they are in full sympathy with the forces that wish to destroy the west in general and Israel in particular. Some one once said you don't talk with your friends, you talk with your enemies. Bull!!! You beat your enemies and then talk with them. We tried talking with Germany and Japan, see where that got us? Then we beat them on the battlefield and made war on them to the extent that they could no longer sustain their rotten political system, then we didn't talk to them, we dictated what they were to do and then they became friends.

Which brings us to Carter. The absolute worst president we've ever had despite the gnashing of teeth and moaning of the left that Bush is. Carter's ineptness drove the Islamic Republic into existance and began the rise of modern islamofascism. Cinnamon Stillwell, a new friend said it pretty good:

Carter's history of involvement with the Middle East conflict is no less troublesome. It was Carter who brokered the first in a series of largely ineffective and in the long run incredibly damaging Arab-Israeli peace treaties. Far from pushing peace, such agreements have only strengthened the disdain toward Israel from its Arab neighbors and led to further violence.

Carter's claim to fame in the peace process arena was the 1979 Israel-Egypt peace treaty signed at Camp David by Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin. While the alleged peace between Egypt and Israel has held up to this day, increased hostility in Egypt toward Israel and Jews has been the true legacy. At some point, one has to come to the logical conclusion that a peace treaty that inspires hatred is not worth the paper it's printed on.

Jason Maoz, senior editor at Jewish Press, reveals that "during a March 1980 meeting with his senior political advisers, Carter, discussing his fading reelection prospects and his sinking approval rating in the Jewish community, snapped, 'If I get back in, I'm going to [expletive] the Jews.'" Maoz also references the 1976 presidential campaign during which Carter, fearing that his opponent Senator Henry ("Scoop") Jackson had the Jewish vote in the Democratic primaries locked up, "instructed his staff not to issue any more statements on the Middle East. 'Jackson has all the Jews anyway … we get the Christians.'"

ABCD, a prescription for more terrorism and increased death and suffering in the world.

UPDATE: The Examiner, in an editorial notes:

At the root of Carter’s Middle Eastern perspective, of course, is his unalloyed blindness toward the Palestinians in particular and the political Muslim world’s long-running antipathy towards Jews. It is that blindness that prevents him, as The New Yorker’s Jeffrey Goldberg noted in a recent review in The Washington Post, from recognizing and accounting for “the fact that the Arabs who surround Israel have launched numerous wars against it, all meant to snuff it out of existence.”

But policy blindness is at least understandable. What is not is Carter’s intellectual dishonesty, as described by Stein in his recent letter of resignation: Carter’s latest tome is “replete with factual errors, copied materials not cited, superficialities, glaring omissions and simply invented segments.” Stein further claims that “aside from the one-sided nature of the book, meant to provoke, there are recollections cited from meetings where I was the third person in the room, and my notes of those meetings show little similarity to points claimed in the book.”
