| Carter, Annan plan visit to Israel, Gaza to help negotiate ceasefire |
| 2008-03-05 |
| Oh, goody... Former US president Jimmy Carter and former UN secretary-general Kofi Annan wish to arrive in Israel in the coming months in order to help negotiate a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, Army Radio reported. Hamas wants y'all to start buildin new crematoriums, Ehud. Ah don't see that as a problem, do you, Kofi? Certainly not, Jimmy. Perhaps this could be a starting point in the negotiations. Is the dinner menu here yet? The two contacted the Prime Minister's Office and requested to meet Prime Minister Ehud Olmert. ...and can we enter through the Attention Whore entrance? Thanks so much. They also asked to be allowed in the Gaza Strip to meet with Hamas officials. Sure. Just don't let them back out. According to the report, Israel is opposed to the initiative, but officials said that Jerusalem would be well advised to try and channel the visit into a positive track so as not to damage the country's image in the media. Yeah, really. Wouldn't wanna damage all that glowing coverage the media gives the Israelis... |

| #11 After that anti-Israel rant of a book, does he really believe the Israelis are going to listen to him? Man must have gone certifiably senile. |

| #10 Carter and Kofi together - just one more example of Blair's Law: "the ongoing process by which the world's multiple idiocies are becoming one giant, useless force" |

| #9 I do like the idea of holding any talks in Sderot and/or Ashkelon. At a school. During school hours. |

| #8 lotp, if you insist of picturing such things, don't forget to pad the chains with silk for comfort. |

| #7 Why do I have a mental picture of those two chaining themselves to Hamas headquarters to stop Israeli attacks? |

| #6 Let's hope Hamas decides to kidnap them. |

| #5 hahahahahahahahaha!!! What, was this in response to a request for mediators who have the least possible amount of credibility, ever? Carter has written volumes that clearly state his record as to where his sympathies lie. And Annan's actions (and inactions) speak volumes themselves. I can't think of any two people with less right to "negotiate a ceasefire" than them. Honestly, even bin laden has more credibility than these two, because he's less of a petro-whore than those clowns. |

| #3 Fine, but they have to stay in Sderot the whole time. Now that is a damn fine idea AlanC. And after they enter Gaza, revoke their Visa to re-enter Israel. |

| #1 Okay! All you'se guys need to do is stand right here in Sderot, wave your arms and hollar over to the Gaza side an' tell 'em to 'Knock It Off'. That'll stop them Eyeranean rockets fer sure. Later we'll all get together for a 'Group Hug' |
