Jimmy Carter said Friday he would have been "delighted" to meet with Hezbollah officials during his visit to Lebanon and regretted the militant group's leaders refuse to meet with current or former American presidents.
Carter spent five days talking to top Lebanese leaders and members of parliamentary blocs but didn't sit down with lawmakers from the Iranian-backed Hezbollah, which is on the State Department list of terrorist groups.

During a lecture at the American University of Beirut on Friday, Carter expressed disappointment Hezbollah refused to see him.
"We came here with the hope that we can meet with all the political parties and factions in Lebanon," he said. "If the leaders of Hezbollah wanted to meet with me, I would have been delighted."

Maybe Nasrallah is afraid of getting an STD.
According to Biden, The U.S. and NATO drove the Hezzzzzbollah out of Lebanon.
Among Jimmy’s other regrets:
Never having dated Tokyo Rose as a young man in WW2.
Being too young to have ever known Benedict Arnold.
Never having met Alger Hiss.
I am sure that he does.
Jimma Carter....you SOB. Do you live to screw the USA every chance you get? You can explain yourself to God when your time comes. I don’t give a rip what you do here on Earth anymore. Traitor.
Carter hates Jews, and he isn’t too fond of the American people either.
Were you going to say that the rest of us regret anything to do with that peanut-brained, boot-licking, scum-sucking, communist, treasonous moron?

The Case Against Israel's Enemies:
Exposing Jimmy Carter and Others
Who Stand in the Way of Peace
by Alan Dershowitz
Worst president of all time.
And he’s turned out to be the worst ex-president of all time.
But somebody voted for him in 1976.
And it wasn’t me.
Secretary Rice certainly provided Carter clear warnings, but she was attempting to penetrate an ignorance, arrogance, and self-delusion supernatural in scope. Even a severe physical beating would only call forth visions of martyrdom.
In meeting with Hammas and desiring to meet with Hezboliah, Jimmy Carter advocated including dedication to exterminating levels of murder within the norm of political behavior. His actions opposed those holding the principle some activities are beyond the pale, and not just harsher forms of civil disobedience.
Those in opposition include the parents and grandparents of the Greatest Generation who wrote the Geneva Conventions. People whose words expressed a durable wisdom, morality and leadership earned in finding peace through victory in the ultimate bloody deluge of the 20th century.
For them terrorist organizations such as Hammas, al Qaida, and Hezbollah were not insurgents, freedom fighters, militias, volunteer corps, or members of any organized resistance movement or authority. By the most expansive interpretation of Geneva Conventions, these people would offer terrorists no protections. Terrorists would be eligible for tribunals and executions, only if they survived every overwhelming fury needed to crush their abominations. They repudiated terrorists for regarding Protected Persons as the unrelenting focus of murder, when not used as biodegradable sandbags to sustain sanctuaries and operations, or as bloody theatrical props duping gullible people in public relations campaigns.
Jimmy Carters actions promote a new level of depravity for inclusive human behavior. For basic human rights to survive, one must instead repudiate the sophistry that goodness will abound by fabricating a moral high ground inclusive of terrorist actions. Carters actions are so internationally damaging, they must be repudiated by at least a condemning resolution, if not a call to revoke his passport.
what do you mean ... one of ...
gosh you cut him too much slack.
I agree with Ms. Lillian when I look at her presidential son.
I wish this assclown would dry up and blow away like dust in the wind.
I regret that the rabbit didn’t win.
Tough nookies Jimmeh.... you can now die a failure
