Carter-Gate: Jimmy Carter's specious claims.

In his vastly Atlanticist, ivory-tower post, written in humble turn of phrase, Jimmy Carter, ex-US President (or xPOTUS if you will), makes a rather facetious claim, and ignores unhelpful truths. Here he is:

"If India's unique demands are acceptable, why should other technologically advanced NPT signatories, such as Brazil, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Japan - to say nothing of less responsible nations - continue to restrain themselves?"

Saudi Arabia, yes of course. That model, responsible nation responsible for exporting terrorism (along with Pakistan) with the least consequences to itself. But of course - it is *very* responsible. Go on Jimmy boy:

I have no doubt that India's political leaders are just as responsible in handling their country's arsenal as leaders of the five original nuclear powers. But there is a significant difference: the original five have signed the Non-Proliferation Treaty and strive to stop producing fissile material for weapons.

Er, Strive to stop producing fissile material? After the US has 20, 000 nukes more powerful than Hiroshima?? How many more do they need?
But wait, Jimmy's got more:

India's leaders' accepting the NPT and joining other nuclear powers in signing the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty would greatly strengthen the global effort to control proliferation.

Oh really. The Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CTBT)  - that superb piece of legislation first mooted and pushed for by India, which the US KO'd by not ratifying. Do you mean that Jimmy Boy?

Meanwhile, other major nuclear powers, including the United States, Russia, France and Britain, are moving to limit their production.

But we heard that. And we know US has about 20000, Russia has about 9000, France and Britain a few hundred each. Dont we?
