Jimmy Carter: “I have just given to President Sadat a full report on my discussions in Israel.”

But among those who believe the case should be re-opened are politicians who don't always agree with each other, ranging from former president, Jimmy Carter to conservative former Georgia congressman, Bob Barr.

I don't think the administration has ever picked up the ball, much less dropped it.

This is a very wise and very courageous thing for President Obama to do. And in my opinion, is long overdue.

I think that sends a clear signal to Maliki that we won't be there indefinitely and my hope is that they'll be a commitment by the world community including the controversial nations of Syria and Iran.
