File under: Hamas

#1 While I certainly don't wish for it, it would be a strange twist of fate if Hamas made him a hostage. A completion of the cosmic circle, as a friend of mine used to say.

#6 it would be a strange twist of fate if Hamas made him a hostage.

Ugh - you really want to give that jerk a worldwide platform to spew hatred of Israel? He'd be an honored guest explaining oh so patiently just why Hamas are the true victims here and deserve more support. The MSM would replay his clips incessantly. Just what we DON'T need.

#11 Nimble, Absolutely correct.

And I BTW would not be sad if he is held hostage and his heart gives out from the stress.

#14 Carter would be the first Western leader of his stature to meet with the Hamas chief.

What stature? He was driven out of the White House in disgrace by Ronald Reagan in 1980. Since then he has done nothing but make a fool of himself and embarrass the United States. The best that even staunch Democrats can say for him is that he "meant well".

#18 We should lock him up the moment he sets foot back in the US as a agent for a terrorist entity and enabler of terrorism.

Jimmy Carter meets Nepal's Maoists despite US terror tag

KATHMANDU (AFP) Former US president Jimmy Carter met the leaders of Nepal's former Maoist rebels Tuesday, even though the group remains classified by Washington as a foreign "terrorist" organisation. Carter, whose democracy and human rights organisation is monitoring this Thursday's landmark elections in the Himalayan nation, was given assurances by the Maoists that the polls would be peaceful.

Oh. Okay. Y'all look lahk fine fellas. I'm sure y'all wouldn't lie ta me. And even if you did, ah couldn't do much about it. And ah probably wouldn't even care.

"President Carter wanted to know about the election situation and expressed his concern over whether it will be free and fair," Baburam Bhattarai, the Maoists' second-in-command, told reporters after the meeting."We assured him that the elections will be held in a peaceful manner and we are committed to peaceful polls," Bhattarai said after the meeting between himself, Carter and Maoist leader Prachanda.

See. They gave me their word. Commies wouldn't lie ta me.

The run-up to the polls has been marred by violence by all political parties, but particularly the Maoists, the United Nations has said.

Oh, ah'm sure they didn't mean it. Probably just a misunnerstandin. Probably won't happen again.

The Maoists -- who fought a decade-long guerrilla war aimed at toppling the monarchy -- signed a peace deal in late 2006, but remain on a US list of terrorist organisations.

Well if the US guvmint calls them terrorists, ah'm sure thay're probably mah kinda people...

The polls are a central plank of the peace deal, and will elect a body that is expected to abolish Nepal's monarchy as well as write a new constitution.

An if it doesn't work out, oh well, ah'll just blame Bush...

#27 The Iranians demonstrated how useless he was in 1979 and 1980. Now, 28 years later, he's stupid enough to kiss the arse of one of their most vile puppets. Truly a fool.

#28 Jeebus, tu (#20). First the Maoists, then Hamas. Who's next Jimmy? Headin' to ZimBOBwe next, due to his "election crisis"????

And, sinse (#22), I agree's with ya. As a native Georgian, I just can't fathom where this goon gets his thought process. Of course, we were also home to Moonbat Cynthia McKinney for a time, too. Must be something in the water.
