So the worst president in U.S. History is now going to go to Syria to meet with terrorists??
NEW YORK — Former President Jimmy Carter’s upcoming meeting with senior officials of the Palestinian terror group Hamas is not “in the interest of peace,” according to State Department spokesman Sean McCormack.
FOX News confirmed on Thursday that Carter will travel to Syria next week for an unprecedented meeting with the senior leadership of Hamas. The State Department has designated Hamas a “foreign terrorist organization,” a stance McCormack reiterated.
The State Department had “counseled the former president about having such a meeting,” he said. “U.S. policy is that Hamas is a terrorist organization; we don’t believe its in the interest of our policy or in the interest of peace to have such a meeting.”
I wish I could say I’m shocked, but Jimmy Carter has been a terrorist-apologist for as long as I’ve been alive.
What is it about the Left that they constantly look to appease our enemies and criticize our own country?
Thai’s Take ?
Let me get this straight…
-
We’re engaged in a long war against radical Islam and the terrorists that it creates.
-
Hamas is a terrorist organization which is part of radical Islam that which we are seeking to defeat.
-
So naturally, Jimmy Carter is going to meet with them - and thus grant them the political PR victory they crave.
This is akin to a former president going to meet with Hitler, Mussolini or Hirihito during the early 1940’s.
The State Department naturally doesn’t want Carter to go.
I say they should take away his passport.
I’d be interested to hear your take on this.

“So the worst president in U.S. History …”
Uh… dude? *points vaguely northeast towards the current Whitehouse occupant*
Wouldn’t worry about it too much… letting a liberal former president attempt to establish peace between opposing factions and then discrediting the effort is probably all part of Gee-Dub’s masterful strategery. He’s a smart one.
“This is akin to a former president going to meet with Hitler, Mussolini or Hirihito during the early 1940’s.”
Ignoring any political bias here, but with this in mind and the bullet-points that came before it, how does our current strategy of paying off radical Muslim clerics actually IN the war zone in which we’re fighting sit with you? And stop to think for a moment where all those cease-fire-funds are probably going (to arm and equip further insurgency).
Is a strategy of negotiated peace between two foreign entities really less palatable than bribery with your tax dollars and mine?
When it comes to Carter, yeah, I agree he’d have better spent his time sitting at home than trying to settle things with Hamas because, frankly, I feel the only way you stop a terrorist is by making the price higher than they’re willing to pay. Sure, blow yourself up in front of a school bus… We’ll make sure your entire family (including extended family) will be along to see you in heaven shortly. You’ll recognize their corpses by the bacon we’ve hung around their necks.
But as much as I hate the sick sob’s who are indiscriminately killing women and children in the twisted name of their religion, I refuse to let my feelings or politics cloud my opinion about somebody who - misguided though he may be - continues to strive for a peaceful solution. Let him tilt at his windmills. What’s the worst that could happen? Israel obviously wasnt dumb enough to buy the deal.
Yes. Jimmy Carter really is the worst president in US history. If it weren’t for him, Iran would still be a pro-West and close ally of the U.S. This is the same Iranian government which is funding much of the terrorism in the M.E.
As for paying off clerics? Which ones?
As for Jimmy, this is just another step in the walkway to his foreign-policy shrine that is bought and paid for by the Arab world. More on that in a later post. Jimmy is far from an honest broker and the “worst that can happen” is the PR victory of a former US president sitting down with them and giving them a PR victory. The deal he “brokered” is basically a litany of assaults on Israel. You’re right though, only a crazy person would take that deal.
