Carter crimes
...
Jimmy
said America would not stand idly by while Nicaragua tried to set forth on a
different path after they threw out Anastasio Somoza.
Carter
told the Sandinistas they had to retain the National Guard, which had been
Somoza’s elite band of US-trained psychopathic killers. The Sandinistas said No.
So Carter ordered the CIA to bring up the officers and torturers running the
Argentinian death squads to train up a force of Nicaraguan exiles in Honduras,
and launch them on terror missions across the border. They called them the
Contras.
Carter
was a busy man. Not just content with forming the Contras, he harkened to the
pain of South Korea, where workers and peasants were demonstrating. His envoy,
Richard Holbrooke advised the South Korean military to hit back hard, and they
did, killing around 3,000, the most horrible massacre since the Korean war. And
yes, Carter started the covert CIA operation in Afghanistan, rallying the
mujiddeen to fight the Soviets. Soon the CIA would bring Osama bin Laden to
Afghanistan to lend a Saudi presence and Saudi cash.
Now
he’s a peace prize winner. He’s been campaigning for it for years. He’s a white
male American with the blood of thousands on his hands. So how could he miss,
unless the Peace Prize Committee had decided to abbreviate the whole process and
give it to George Bush. Maybe next year, though Ariel Sharon is the next in
line.
