Carter Never Met a Terrorist He Did Not Like
Earlier Tuesday, Hamas said it foiled an attempt by Palestinian terrorists to assassinate former US president Jimmy Carter during his visit to the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, Palestinian sources told news agencies.
According to Palestinian sources, terrorists linked with al Qaida hid a number of improved explosive devices along a road that Carter's convoy was scheduled to travel on inside Gaza. Hamas forces reportedly uncovered the IEDs and destroyed them.
Ismail Shahwan, spokesman for the Hamas Ministry of the Interior, denied that an al Qaeda-linked group had planned to assassinate Carter.
Shawan said no explosives were discovered near the Erez border crossing. He said that the visit went according to the plan.
Earlier, Carter had been quoted as saying he was holding back tears when surveying the "deliberate destruction" in Gaza following Israel's Operation Cast Lead earlier this year, Israel Radio reported.
Former President Jimmy Carter will urge the Obama administration to remove Hamas from the terrorist list, FOX News has learned.
Carter, a chief defender of the U.S.-designated terror group, said Tuesday he will meet with officials in the Obama administration in two days to discuss his latest trip to the Middle East.
Meanwhile, two Palestinian sources told FOX News that the group had discovered two roadside bombs planted near a crossing between Israel and Gaza on a path Carter's convoy took to meet with the group's leaders.
Carter was granted special waivers by the U.S. Secret Service allowing him to enter Gaza. Employees of the U.S. executive branch are not allowed into the strip since a roadside bomb killed three U.S. security personnel in 2003.
Carter was visiting with Hamas leaders to try to persuade them to accept the international community's conditions for ending its boycott of the Islamic militant group.
The international community has asked Hamas to recognize Israel, renounce violence and accept previous peace deals as part of ongoing efforts for Palestinians overall to acquire their own country. Hamas has refused.
Carter said he feels personally responsible that American weapons were used to fight in Gaza Strip last year, when Israeli Defense Forces entered the strip to stop the launch of rockets from there into Israel....

I have to hold back tears when seeing Carter. The so called deliberate destruction was caused by the people this nut cake along with Obama is in love with. Their muzzie, terrorist buddies. He's got no business collaborating with Hamas. If he likes them so much let him stay there.

Carter was holding back tears, Awwwwww, what a guy. Where was his outrage when Hamas was blowing up Pizzarias with women and children inside. This phony son of a bitch.
Remove Hamas from the terror list? He's insane. Maybe if we are nice he will have us removed from the DHS terrorist list.

Did Jimmy spend one second surveying the damage done by the more than 1000 rockets and mortar shells fired into Israel from Gaza? Hell no. Carter is a dried up old dinglebery that just won't drop.

"Carter said he feels personally responsible that American weapons were used to fight in Gaza Strip last year, when Israeli Defense Forces entered the strip to stop the launch of rockets from there into Israel...."
Then Shoot him!!!
Carter never mentions that Saudi Arabia, Russia and China fund and supply arms to Hamas for use against civilian targets.

"What the heck is going on in this world!!!!"
There are southerners who are still fighting the Civil War against the Union. Even those who know of Lincoln's violations of all previous rules of war can not explain why this mania persists in people seven score of years after Lincoln's death but it does.
James Carvel as an example lives a Republican home life, his wife is a major Republican and unlike the spendthrift Obama, his personal finances are on the same sound footing as his Reoublican in-laws. He however is from New Orleans and makes his money making war on his principles. Of course, he makes a very nice piece of change doing so.
It is hard to explain even to those who have only the whitewashed version of Lincoln but my mother’s family, the Gores, still stock guns by the dozen and make their kids swear that they will never vote for anyone from the Party of Abe Lincoln. A gentleman who married a cousin I share a set of great grandparents with I know is a KKK member and I know he went to Obama rallies last year.

Bob A., I agree so much. In another time
long ago I truly think Carter would have
been held accountalble for his treason
against America with his siding with the
terrorists during a time of war.

Steve Gaston, Tell it Like It Is,
why he is even let back in our
country shocks me.
Posted by: Wild Thing at June 17, 2009 06:24 PM
Mark, good one, exactly. He didn't shed a
tear for the real victims of the Hamas.
"Maybe if we are nice he will have us removed from the DHS terrorist list."
LMAO yessss

Tom, love your description of him.
Posted by: Wild Thing at June 17, 2009 06:32 PM
Jack, he is such a liar.I swear he
needs to be kicked out of our country
oh how I wish we would at least do
that much.
Or bring back 1938 and the Rosenberg
decision and apply it to Carter.

Avitar, thank you for sharing about
that.
And your right about James Carvel too.
