Like so many life-long Democrats President Carter understands foreign policy in a way few other types of people ever could.” The US State Department has declared Hamas to be a terrorist organization.

Carter expressed his many thanks for the warm reception he received by the Palestinian leaders and said that he was moving on to meet other leaders of Hamas when the opportunity presents itself later in the week.

You forgot the "satire" keyword - around here, experience has proven that it isn't obvious to most posters.

Wait a minute, there.

Is it possible that Hamas has somehow confused Jimmy Carter with Al Gore?

(I know that Al Gore lost in Florida, but many groups such as Hamas think that Gore was "truly elected" in Florida.)

FYI -- Carter did win Florida in 1976 (51% to 49%), but he lost Florida in 1980 to Ronald Reagan.

“I guess I slept through that part of history.”

It’s a shame you missed it CH, ‘cause it was big news in the Gaza strip and North Korea a few years back.
