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.

Yes, I have, I registered my complete disgust with the visit to Arafat's grave.

It was unnecessary, and inflammatory.

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

SYLLABICATION: un·wit·ting PRONUNCIATION: n-wtng ADJECTIVE: 1. Not knowing; unaware: an unwitting subject in an experiment. 2. Not intended; unintentional: an unwitting admission of guilt.

IMO, he is not unwitting at all, he is a very deliberate agitator and sympathizer.

Hope Fox News is all over this one. . .

What an abjectly, disgusting ex-President. . .but these people cannot help but give the worst evidence of 'who' they are.

Just as Lib Left enjoys tying McCain to Bush. . .Repubs should be equating; at every opportunity, the enemy-loving politcs of Obama and Hillary with the indiscriminate adventures of Jimmy Carter; as he continues to force himself into the 'world scene'.

Does Patriotism matter? Only a Leftist ponders an answer here. We are informed of course, by their choices; their actions. Carter and for that matter - albiet less publicly - and the Leftist pond-scum; President-wannabe's; have yet to give evidence; they have ever drawn an altruistic or patriotic breath; in their entire collective, self-serving, lives.

I hope people in other nations realize that. To anyone but ultra-leftists (like people in Brussels) Carter must be a laughingstock, I would guess...?

(P.S. Let me know if you figure out that picture thing, I’m equally embarrassed at not knowing how to post one, or even do that basic HTML bold/italic stuff!) :-)

That picture is truly sickening.

Apparently Mr. Peanut isn't bothered by mass murder and attempted genocide if he thinks (mistakenly) that someone made him look good. Go to any sandbox and interview the four year olds and you'll find every one of them has superior moral reasoning.

Goes to show where Jimmy’s sympathies lie. But that’s no surprise now, is it?

Hey Jimmah...the pali’s will soon visit and pee on your grave. To make a pact with the enemah, is to rationalize trason against US and outr Allie, Israeli policy. You are still a s**k up no sac infidel to them...a tool, an 83 year old tool.

Bumping this thread, because it has really lit up my regular email. This man is truly deceived. The blood of Arafat's victims—of all nationalities—are on Carter's hands as well.
