  1. Jimmy Carter, the one who armed the mujahideen, (the jihadists), over the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, at the prompting of Zbigniew Brzezinski, who many state was in Russia's pocket. The "initiative Carter authorized to achieve this goal was a collaboration between the CIA and Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI); through the ISI, the CIA began providing some $500,000 worth of non-lethal assistance to the mujahideen on July 3, 1979—several months prior to the Soviet invasion. The modest scope of this early collaboration was likely influenced by the understanding, later recounted by CIA official Robert Gates, "that a substantial U.S. covert aid program" might have "raise[d] the stakes" thereby causing "the Soviets to intervene more directly and vigorously than otherwise intended." " Of the seven mujahideen groups supported by Zia's government, four espoused Islamic fundamentalist beliefs—and these fundamentalists received most of the funding. Despite this, Carter has expressed no regrets over his decision to support what he still considers the "freedom fighters" in Afghanistan." Also, Former U.S. President Carter, whose Center has monitored elections in Venezuela, expressed his condolences in a statement recognizing Chávez’s success in cutting the poverty rate in Venezuela by half. Now look at that country. There's more, much more, that the left doesn't like to admit about the failures of Carter. He has no place to talk about any president.
