| President Carter: Hamas can be trusted |
| 2009-01-26 |
| Former US President Jimmy Carter said in an interview to NBC that a one-state solution would be a disaster for Israel, and the two-state solution, that everyone supports, is right. Carter continued to say there is no way to make peace without Hamas' involvement, and that, as someone who has had two opportunities to meet with Hamas heads, he felt the organization could be trusted. Carter added that Hamas was willing to accept any Fateh agreement with Israel that would be approved by a referendum. |

| #24 Mr. Carter just enjoyed a fawning interview with Jon Stewart on The Daily Show. Did you know that 70% of Palestinians just want to live peacefully with Israel? |

| #23 I keep saving up a tremendous piss for Carter's grave, but I promised myself, when I departed the service, never to stand in long lines again. Certainly, not that long. |

| #22 Hamas can be trusted just about as much as Carter's judgment can be trusted. 'Nuff sed. |

| #21 I would accept nothing less than his ambassadorship to Rigel! Andromeda would be even better. It's along journey, so he would have to be in stasis. Or how about stasis now and let's pretend he is on the way to Andromeda? |

| #19 I'd have some respect for Barry if he named this guy, like, ambassador to Pluto or something... So what the hell did the residents of Pluto (or Uranus) ever do to us? I'd say ambassidor to Iran. And don't send a marine escort - let the UN do it. |

| #18 I'd have some respect for Barry if he named this guy, like, ambassador to Pluto or something... Close, ambassador to the seventh planet. |

| #14 Is "President Carter" a new addition to the English language that functions a lot like the word Not? |

| #13 Oh my aching butt!! Does this guy have two brain cells of common sense? I can't stand it. Why does everything he says make me want to reach for a bottle of Jefferson's Reserve? And make my sinuses hurt? |

| #11 Carter is like a reverse direction sign. If he points south, you had better head north. |

| #10 If I was Bambi, I would appoint Carter as ambassador to Iran. Then, once he was there, revoke his passport. |

| #9 See what you've got to look forward to, Barry. Some senile Georgia peanut farmer trying to make foreign policy behind your back. Zbiggy's probably on the phone to him right now... |

| #8 the two-state solution, that everyone supports Where do they dream up this crap? Iran and Hamas have always insisted on the one-state solution with the Jews going back to where they came from (i.e., after the Romans dispersed them). |

| #7 Of course Hamas can be trusted... to remain committed to Israel's destruction. Isn't that what they have always vowed? |

| #6 here he is 30+ years later, still trying to make up to Iran for daring to violate their territorial integrity.... probably believes he's doing penance.. putz |

| #5 This option would include actually sending him there. I think I left that out. |

| #4 Triton would be better. Especially since it's slowly spiralling into Neptune. |

| #2 Jimmy Carter is the worst person in the world at making foreign policy decisions. |
