JERUSALEM – The Hamas terrorist organization has confirmed to WND plans are in the works for former President Jimmy Carter to meet the chief of Hamas on a trip this month to Syria.
Sources in the Gaza Strip office of Ismail Haniyeh, the deposed prime minister of the Hamas-led Palestinian government, confirmed Hamas is in talks with Carter's representatives about setting up a meeting during his trip, scheduled for later this month.
The Hamas sources said no concrete date has been set but that Carter has expressed interest in meeting Hamas chieftain Khaled Meshaal, who resides in Syria.
In a statement to Fox News today, Carter's press secretary, Deanna Congileo, did not deny the former president was slated to meet Meshaal.
"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," Congileo said. "I cannot confirm any specific meetings at this point in time."
Earlier, Ahmed Yousuf, Hamas' top political adviser in the Gaza Strip, claimed to WND he wasn't aware of any Carter-Meshaal meeting.
"I don't know anything about any such meeting," said Yousuf, who advises Haniyeh.

I fail to understand why Jimuh the SSMF’er(Simple Simon Mother F’er) is poking his sorry ass off to meet with these terrorists.

What is wrong with simply prosecuting this arrogant fool under the Logan Act? Of course nothing other than a lack of will and leadership.
Maybe they’ll take him hostage.
The people we are dealing with are clueless.
They would blame the GWBush.
this negotiation is going nowhere EVERYONE knows this. Carter can’t offer bribes and cash like he did last time.
Be real too, he probably has as much secuirty as the pope when visiting that part of the world.
I bet they kill him.

Is there a hat trick in his future?
Hamas kidnaps people, don’t they?

Jimmy should go the Full Monty and meet with Hezbollah and al Quaeda tooo - maybe one of those organizations would see to it that his days of independent diplomatic efforts came to an end.

Are these Elders supposed to be wise?
On the up-side, as they are all Elders we won't have them around too long!
How much do you suppose we'll need to pay them not to send him back?
We use to have a saying “it just peanuts” and the meaning was it is little or nothing. The coincidence is that it describes the peanut farmer to a T.
Whatever it takes!
How much longer do we have to watch this embarrassment suck up to enemies of the United States?
