Jimmy Carter to Meet With Terrorists

NEW YORK CITY — Former President Jimmy Carter is reportedly preparing an unprecedented meeting with the leader of Hamas, an organization that the U.S. government considers one of the leading terrorist threats in the world.

“It’s about par for the course from President Carter, demonstrating a lack of judgment typical of what he does," said John Bolton, former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. "To go to Syria to visit Hamas at this point is just an ill-timed, ill-advised decision on his part."

“I’m not surprised that Carter would do this, as he has been supporting Palestinian extremism for many years,” said Steve Emerson, director of the Investigative Project on Terrorism, a watchdog group.

So does it take a Jew hater to embrace a Jew hater?

I'm glad Bolton is speaking up about Carter's over-stepping and under-cutting... But I'd love to see George "W" just let him have it. I know. It won't happen.

Ibrahim Hooper, communications director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, a non-profit advocacy group, said Carter's efforts demonstrate he's a true partner in peace.

Hooper added that because of Carter's reputation among Palestinians he might be able to bring some pressure to bear.

Sure. The only pressure brought to bear will be upon the Israelis... And they need more pressure... Because the rockets and the suicide bombers just aren't getting the job done.
