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.
LOL, you ought to stick a peanut in those teeth!
Jimmy Carter was and is the wrong man then and now for America.
"How could we have ever elected such a naive goober President?"
I used to feel that way about Carter.
Looking back...I see how he has always been an enabler of evil, and chaos. Carter is an ex nuclear submarine officer...degree in nuclear engineering, he is far from dumb.
Now I loathe the man...despite his apparent onset of senility, I believe this man is evil, not just naive.
I keep all liberal leaders' statements in tha file!
The time is rapidly approaching when I will have the same feelings about this idiot assuming ambient temperature that I currently feel about Arafat.
Here, here. They are treating this death like the death of any other dignitary. It makes me want to puke. I hope Arafat is enjoying the furnace.
So Jimmah thinks that Yessir Urafart is a "powerful human symbol"! By that standard so are Adolf Hitler, Josef Stalin, Fidel Castro, Saddam Hussein, and Charles Manson.
As one very embarrased Georgian, I APOLIGIZE and would like to put a rag in this man's mouth! I don't know if that would keep him from putting his foot in his mouth.
Just one more thing makes me glad that I voted for Renaldus Magnus in 1980. ('84, too!)
