Bush To Carter: Please Don’t Meet With Our Enemies

What an embarrassment to the country this man has become.

WASHINGTON (CNN) — The Bush administration has urged former President Jimmy Carter not to go forward with plans to meet with the leader of Hamas, the State Department said Thursday.

Carter may meet next week in Damascus, Syria, with Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal, as part of a trip to the Middle East.

Carter spokeswoman Deanna Congileo told CNN she could not confirm or deny whether any specific meeting might take place during Carter’s trip.

However, a Hamas official told CNN that Carter plans to meet with Meshaal, who lives in exile in Damascus to avoid being arrested or killed by Israel.

Hamas exists for the express purpose of wiping Israel off the map and driving the Jews into the Mediterranean.  They use violence against civilians - including Israeli women and children - to further this agenda, and are not shy about using their own women and children as weapons in the form of suicide bombers.

Hamas, in summary, is an organization of monsters.  And Jimmy Carter is going to meet with them.  Telling us all we need to know about Carter, as if we didn’t already know it by now.

Jimmy Carter is going as a private citizen. Would you deny him his right to travel wherever he wants. He does not and cannot speak for American foreign policy. Jimmy Carter is a great humanitarian. Something I cannot say for any former Republican ex-President.

Something I cannot say for any former Republican ex-President.

The reason you cannot say that is because of an unwritten rule for ex-presidents.  Stay out of the light and let the current president do their job without you.  Unfortunately, folks today see Jimmy and Billy sticking their faces into everything and doing nothing because they have no power, just appeal to a few.

Why doesn’t someone put the old fart in jail or maybe a REST HOME.

No Republican ex-prez met with a terrorist group?  Wow, I am strangely fine with that.  You’re either ill-informed or very unintelligent person.  Defend other Democrats, fine, that is your right....defend Carter?  You’re a moron.  The man is a traitor and if I had not be a little kid when he was elected I would have been screaming from rooftops to ignore his idiotic opinions.  I can’t believe, after such a comment (Carter=good???????????) that Rob allowed you to even be here.  We have differences and I am okay with that, but anyone that defends THAT man deserves no forum.

Jimmy Carter is a failure as a statesman. Considering his long list of screw ups I am surprised his visa hasn’t been pulled.

Nobody’s really said why Jimma wants to meet with those ragholios.  Maybe he’s trying to become a hostage, to alleviate three decades of guilt. We could call him Martyr Jimma Carter.

Are there no prisons?

Why isn’t this traitor in Jail?

Jimmie, failed as a President but Great as a Humanitarian.  Why not build some homes for Habitat for Humanity and leave Hamas up to Mossad.

Goon:  If only that were true!  Jimmy Carter, during the four short years of his presidency, did more to destabilize the Middle East than any leader before or since. He was a ‘man on a mission’ and he still is!

THIS ELECTION IS ABOUT TWO THINGS: WINNING THE WAR ON TERRORISM AND SAVING THE SUPREME COURT.

Jimmy Carter’s four years as president did more to destablize the US than any leader before or since has.  He was simply the worst president ever.

As for the Logan act, the current administration refused to charge Nancy Pelosi for violating it when she met with Hamas.  Why would any of us expect Jimmy Carter to b charged?

Anthony on April 11, 2008 at 06:17 pm

The Logan Act seems to be a useless piece of paper that needs to be enforced or taken off the books. I will never forgive Carter for not abandoning the Embassey in Tehran rather than leaving our people there to be taken hostage. Every other country whose personnel were subject to be targets of the Iranians got their people out of harms way. But we had to show the flag. So 444 days later the hostages come home. Some of you might call that cowardice. I call it using your head and taking care of your people. Jimmie is the worst president we have had this generation. But George is gaining ground fast.
jpgr: you really need to work on the issues you have
in managing your anger. Next thing you know, you will be carrying guns, become xenophobic, hate people who are not like you and against illegal immigration. Putz!
