Jimmy Carter Lays A Wreath at Arafat's Tomb

Jimmy Carter Lays A Wreath at Arafat's Tomb By Julie Stahl CNSNews.com Jerusalem Bureau Chief April 15, 2008

Jerusalem (CNSNews.com) - Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter laid a wreath of red roses at the grave of Palestinian Liberation Organization leader Yasser Arafat during a visit to the West Bank City of Ramallah on Tuesday.

"He and Mrs. Carter and his son Jeff wanted to pay their respects to President Arafat," Carter's trip director Rick Jasculca told Cybercast News Service. But the former president didn't make any comments there, he said.

Dubbed the "godfather of terrorism," Arafat was linked to the deaths of two American diplomats in the Sudan in 1973 -- one of many terror acts laid at his feet. (See earlier story)

Twenty years later, Arafat became the first PLO leader to sign a peace agreement with an Israeli Prime Minister -- Yitzhak Rabin -- in 1993. He was considered Israel's peace partner (although many Israelis never believed it) until the beginning of the violent Palestinian uprising in September 2000. Arafat managed the terror war against Israel until his death in 2004.

U.S. officials have emphasized that Carter is visiting the Middle East as a private citizen and not as a representative of the U.S. government.

On Tuesday, the Israeli government refused Carter's request to visit Hamas-controlled Gaza. The former U.S. leader has angered the Israeli government over plans to meet Hamas's top leader, Khaled Mashaal, in Syria on Friday.

You left out the “ after = in the front of your tagline and also at the end before the final > Add them and your picture should post.

Oh, and my POLITE inquiry to the State Dept got me a very rude response, saying that they had no idea who was paying, and that I should call the Middle East Bureau to inquire.

Can you believe it? lol.

I've used that example several times and it works fine. I just copied and pasted the tagline into this reply. See below and the parentheses will be bold red.

I thought Araft was the godfather of terrorism and Carter his consigliere.

Thanks for the phone number. I called and told the woman that answered I wanted to know what he would do such a thing. She said she knew nothing about it. So I told her about it and she said she saw nothing wrong with it.

Then I told her Carter is a traitor to America, a disgusting human being and should not be allowed back into the United States of America.

Then she hung up on me. LOL

I hope a ton of people call and make their life miserable for even working there for this vile traitor Carter.

I agree, Carter CAN HONOR A TERRORIST BECAUSE AMERICANS NEVER COMPLAIN, EVER, EVER!

His entire staff, and everyone around him never feels uncomfortable, never feel any shame or embarrassment, BECAUSE AMERICANS NEVER COMPLAIN!

The MSM reports on him as if honoring a terrorist is ho hum normal behavior, BECAUSE AMERICANS NEVER COMPLAIN!

And most importantly terrorists win the propaganda value, BECAUSE AMERICANS NEVER COMPLAIN!

Just who allowed radical Islam to take control of a middle eastern country? Jimmy allowed the Shah (our friend) to be deposed because he thought that the people were being treated badly. That revolution resulted in the taking of our embassy. Then Jimmah announced he would not leave the White House until they were released. That scared em. Then he tried a ill conceived rescue. He had so depleted our military that our helicopters were not capable of flying in sandy conditions. That scared them even more. They were so scared that they held the hostages until the moment Ronald Reagan was inaugurated. Yes, I believe Godfather is correct term for him.

Carter Center said he had NO SS protection, and were very angry and flustered at the POLITE questions and suddenly tried to hang up or transfer me, I could still hear her talking to someone, so I said “hello?” and asked “why don't you want to talk to an American, when you are willing to talk to terrorists?” Click.

Thanks. Hey, Carter Center: THE TRUTH HURTS, doesn't it? FACTS ARE STUBBORN THINGS.

It is becoming increasingly more difficult not to wish harm on this Arabist Jew-hater.

He honors a man who has the blood of thousands on his hands. And wishes to "discuss" peace (????) with another Jew-hating Islamonazi who has the blood of thousands on his hands and who steadfastly maintains his intent to destroy Israel and to kill as many Jews as he and his insane followers are able.

People like this Dag (Dag, not dog), Carter, actually believe that it is possible to 'discuss' and 'negotiate' with fanatics.

They are consistently lied to and double crossed, yet they cling desperately to their idiotic delusion that peace with fanatics is attainable and that all we have to do is be nice and kind to them and and try to understand their pain.

Carter is as dangerous as the terrorists because he is the unwitting enabler of terror.

Then it means that when he passes away that he should be buried as a private citizen and not as a representative of the US Govt? I say no to a state funeral.
