Jimmy Strikes Again
MIAMI (AFP) - Former US President Jimmy Carter called Yasser Arafat (news - web sites) "a powerful human symbol and forceful advocate" who united Palestinians in their pursuit of a homeland.
"Yasser Arafat's death marks the end of an era and will no doubt be painfully felt by Palestinians throughout the Middle East and elsewhere in the world," Carter said.
"He was the father of the modern Palestinian nationalist movement. A powerful human symbol and forceful advocate, Palestinians united behind him in their pursuit of a homeland," he said in a statement distributed by his Atlanta, Georgia-based Carter Center.
He said that while Arafat provided "indispensable leadership to a revolutionary movement" and played a key role in forging a peace agreement with Israel in 1993, he was excluded from negotiations in recent years.
"My hope is that an emerging Palestinian leadership can benefit from Arafat's experiences, be welcomed to the peace process by (Israeli) Prime Minister (Ariel) Sharon and (US) President (George W.) Bush, and be successful in helping to forge a Palestinian state living in harmony with their Israeli neighbors," Carter said.
Both Carter and Arafat are Nobel peace prize laureates.
Arafat, who died at a Paris hospital early Thursday, was to be buried at his West Bank headquarters after a military funeral ceremony in Cairo Friday.
Carter "will not be attending the funeral," said Jon Moor, a Carter Center spokesman.

He is definitely a pile of crap. No arguement there. Actually I liked the way you expressed it, but I have a vivid imagination and well, I was eating when I saw that pile :)
This doesn't surprise me at all, but I never thought pat buchanan would be close to tears and saying the same BS about Arafat. Perhaps they can go to the funeral together.
Carter needs a brain transplant. If Satan exists, he must be rubbing his hands and grinning from ear to ear as he listens to all the "leaders" praise this heinous terrorist and probable Sodomite. Jimmah Carter is indeed the soul of the Demo Rat Party, a "symbol of ignorance" beyond belief. So when will we hear the media ask questions about the cause of YA's death? Didn't he have all the indications of AIDS? The media is handling YA's cause of death as if he were a good Demo Rat. Hush hush boys, we don't want to embarass a Nobel Prize in Terrorism recipient.
Yeah, well, sorry about that FRiend.
Carter was way worse than Clinton. Although, Clinton was responsible for sending Carter over to meet with Kim Jong Il....that went great....for North Korea. Both are dispicable, but Carter was a complete Failure....Clinton did accomplish some good.
Gotta love Jimmy Carter...not!

Carter is such a nut case. He's irrelevant.

Why doesn't he just put a sock in it. Arafat was a vicious terrorist who died of AIDS.
Proving once again that the peanuts were brighter than the farmer...
The same could be said of Adolph Hitler. Both hated Jews as well. Arafat's uncle even helped Adolph to arrive at the "final" solution and eliminate the Jews versus letting them emmigrate.
UNBELIEVEABLE.
Yeah, you're a powerful human symbol too, Jimma!
Nice to see that absolutely nothing is happening in the world. Otherwise why would anybody waste time talking about Jimmy Carter and Arafat?

I agree with you, the peanut farmer was the worst president in our history. Even the traitor xlinton was better.
