Report: Jimmy Carter to Meet With Hamas Leader in Syria
Fox News ^ | 4/8/2008 | Joseph Abrams

Posted on 04/08/2008 8:42:34 PM PDT by dubie

NEW YORK CITY — Former President Jimmy Carter is reportedly preparing an unprecedented meeting with the leader of Hamas, an organization that the U.S. government considers one of the leading terrorist threats in the world.

The Arabic-language newspaper Al-Hayat reported Tuesday that Carter was planning a trip to Syria for mid-April, during which he would meet with Khaled Meshal, the exiled head of the Palestinian terror group Hamas, on April 18.

Deanna Congileo, Carter’s press secretary, confirmed in an e-mail to FOXNews.com that Carter will be in the Mideast in April. Pressed for comment, Congileo did not deny that the former president is considering visiting Meshal.

“President Carter is planning a trip to the Mideast next week; however, we are still confirming details of the trip and will issue a press release by the end of this week,” wrote Congileo. “I cannot confirm any specific meetings at this point in time.”

Rockefeller, Pelosi, Kucinich, Zybrenwski.

If I was an arab I’d freak whenever a leftist’s plane touches down over there.

Something’s gonna happen.

He used to be a joke, but over the years, he has transformed into a bad joke.

As the Church lady used to say on SNL: “Well isn’t that special”!
Don’t we still have “Sedition” and “Treason” as crimes listed in the Constitution that we can still charge people with even if they are a former President?

Rather fitting, actually. Jimmuh Cahtuh is the godfather of Islamism.

But Ibrahim Hooper, communications director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, a non-profit advocacy group, said Carter's efforts demonstrate he's a true partner in peace.

“I think if true, this report would indicate that President Carter is willing to travel any road in search of peace,” he said. “I think President Carter would only undertake such a mission if he believed that something could be achieved in terms of peace and reconciliation in the region.”

Well, he did such a nice job with Iran.

It would be poetic justice if the scumbag Carter was kidnapped and held hostage for 444 days.

Except that we would be begging for them NOT to release him.

He's such a scumbag. I'm glad the first presidential vote I cast was for Gerald Ford.

The People's Cube has another picture of him. Notice the right hand corner of the progressive Exodus picture has Jimmy Carter as the Pharaoh

Carter is not a fool, no doubt he will be paid in excess of a cool million dollars through front organizations to one of Carter’s family controlled charities.

In 5 to 10 years we’ll hear how the FBI has arrested some Hezzie front man who donated large sums to Carter’s charities, and how Carter being too infirm to stand trial, will be allowed confined hospice care in lieu of a trial. Or a full presidential pardon. For blatant high treason, aid and comfort for terrorists who use babies as human shields, and the whole lot.

Time to take out a certain Hamas leader, or maybe for the Israelis to do so?

Isn't there some federal law against negotiating or even meeting with terrorists?

Well there is this little gem:

Treason against the United States shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.

Notice there is nothing there about having to be a declared state of War with said Enemies.

Put a gps bug on that butt wipe and code that into every missile within reach of his meeting and send the buffoon to hell with his new found friends.

Well it’s no surprise the worst president of all time has managed to become the worst ex-president of all time. At least he’s consistent.
