Carter Prods Bush on Mideast Peace Plan

[denverbill]

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Bush administration must push harder - and be evenhanded - to revive sagging peace hopes in the Middle East, former President Carter said Monday.

In an Associated Press interview 25 years after the Camp David accords, Carter said Israel and the Palestinians had not only abandoned the U.S.-backed road map for peace but had violated it - Israel by threatening the "removal" of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat. He suggested the Bush administration was tilted toward Israel.

"At this point, prospects are dismal," Carter said. "The U.S. does not seem to be making any strong effort to implement" the road map outlined by President Bush, and the other parties to the blueprint - the United Nations, the European Union and Russia - are not very involved, he said.

4. Impressive....

The Dean attack may of prompted President Carter to share his wisdom.

5. I think President Carter chose those words carefully

His little :spank: to Lieberman, Berman, Pelosi and the other Dems who attacked Dean on this. Now if they attack Dean they're attacking President Carter as well.
