Jimmy, That's the Sin of Sodom
I spent some time on Sunday reading all the news and blog posts on Jimmy Carter's latest nonsense. This man is obviously never going to get it. So I propose that we move him and his family to Gaza and stop letting him enjoy the fruits of the U.S.A.
Carter doesn't get that Hamas has NO INTENTION of doing anything other than giving the WORD "peace" lip-service to get what they want. Like a guy saying he "loves" you just to get in your pants there's nothing but self-serving lies behind it all. And Jimmy's just proved, once again, how STUPID he really is by not only buying it - but trying to sell it to the rest of us.
That's the 'Sin of Sodom', Jimmy... making someone BEND OVER FOR IT. If you want to commit that sin, don't expect anyone else to go along with you!
So -- Jimmy, SHUT UP!
Carter Defends Plan to Meet Hamas to Promote Peace
By Matthew Benjamin
Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter defended his decision to meet with leaders of Hamas, saying the militant Palestinian group will need to be included in any peace agreement with Israel.
"I think someone should be meeting with Hamas to see what we can do to encourage them to be cooperative and to find out what their attitude is," Carter said on the ABC News program 'This Week.'
Carter's decision to meet with Hamas, which is labeled a terrorist organization by the U.S. government, was discouraged by the U.S. State Department last week.
The 83-year-old former president said he will also meet with Hamas's rival Fatah as well as with the Israelis, Syrians, Egyptians, Jordanians and Saudis.
"If Israel is ever going to find peace with justice concerning the relationship with their next-door neighbors," said Carter, "Hamas will have to be included in the process."
"I think that it's very important that at least someone meet with the Hamas leaders to express their views," to encourage them to halt attacks on Israelis and cooperate with Fatah "and maybe to get them to agree to a cease-fire," Carter said.
Carter said his broad mission in the Middle East is "to promote peace in the region." He said "you can't always get prerequisites adopted by other people before you even talk to them."
Report to Rice
Carter added that he'll provide his findings to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley, who appeared on the program following Carter, expressed disapproval of Carter's decision to meet with Hamas leaders.
"We think it is not useful for people to be running to Hamas at this point and having meetings with Hamas," Hadley said. He said meeting with Hamas muddies the "clear message" the international community is trying to send the organization and undermines officials from Fatah who are negotiating with Israel for a Palestinian state.
Carter also said the U.S. shouldn't boycott the Beijing Olympics this year over China's crackdown on unrest in Tibet. Carter led the U.S. boycott of the 1980 summer Olympics in Moscow after the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan earlier that year.
'Totally Different'
"That was a totally different experience in 1980, when the Soviet Union had brutally invaded and killed thousands and thousands of people," Carter said. "They were threatening to go further south and take over other countries."
Carter spoke with ABC from Nepal, where he is monitoring elections.
Hadley confirmed that President George W. Bush plans to attend the Olympics and is using "quiet diplomacy" to urge the Chinese to address human rights concerns. He declined to say whether Bush will attend the opening ceremonies.
"Unfortunately, a lot of countries say, 'Well, if we say that we are not going to the opening ceremonies, we've checked the box on Tibet.' That's a cop-out," the national security adviser said.
"The president, at this point, is going to the Olympics," Hadley said. "We haven't worked out the details of his schedule."
