#4 "I think it's a despicable crime for any deliberate effort to be made to kill innocent civilians," Carter said, adding that he hoped a ceasefire would be reached soon.

Oh, the good old "terrorism is a criminal act" argument. In any other part of the world, lobbing rockets across a sovereign nation's borders is an *Act of War*. The Israelis are bigger men than Carter will ever be.

#5 Israel said it rejected Carter's request to meet jailed Palestinian uprising leader Marwan Barghouthi, who is seen as a possible successor to President Mahmoud Abbas.

Well, see, Jimmy, when you have to go to a jail to try and meet the possible successor to the presidency because he's a mass murderer serving 5 life terms, the people you think you can deal with might have..."issues"?

#6 Latest news is that Israel has denied him permission to cross into Gaza. Now if Rice would just deny him permission to cross into the United States...

#7 Latest news is that Israel has denied him permission to cross into Gaza.

Israel realises the crossing would probably be fatal (Unlike Jimmah) and doesn't want to be held responsible.

Smart folks, Stupid Ex-President.

#8 Let's see what else Jimmy's done so far today.

First stop: Shutdown for a trip to Gaza

"I haven't been able to get permission to go into Gaza. I would like to. I asked for permission. But I was turned down. But maybe we can find a way to circumvent that," Carter said.

...and maybe they can find a way for your senile old terrorist loving ass to step on a mine when you try to come across the wire? It must be a joy being on his Secret Service detail.

Second stop: Visit Arafat's tomb

Former US President Jimmy Carter laid flowers at the tomb of the late Palestinian leader Yassir Arafat in an official ceremony at the Muqata'a, the Palestinian presidential compound, in the West Bank city of Ramallah on Tuesday.

Carter stood in respectful silence for one minute, then remarked on the historic role that Arafat played, saying that Arafat was a personal friend of his. It was the first visit by a high-ranking American official to Arafat's grave.

Sorry, boys. We don't see him as "a high-ranking American official". We see him as America's Loony Uncle in the Attic.

Third stop: Hug a Hamas guy

RAMALLAH, West Bank - Former President Jimmy Carter embraced a leading Hamas figure Tuesday, according to participants in a meeting that infuriated Israeli officials already upset by Carter's freelance Mideast peace mission.

At a reception in the West Bank town of Ramallah organized by Carter's office, the former president hugged Nasser Shaer, a senior Hamas politician, meeting participants said. Embraces between men are a common custom in Arab culture.

"He gave me a hug. We hugged each other, and it was a warm reception," Shaer told The Associated Press. "Carter asked what he can do to achieve peace between the Palestinians and Israel ... and I told him the possibility for peace is high."

Yes, Jimmy. As usual, it looks like they saw you coming. Fortunately for you and unfortunately for us, he didn't explode.

I think SecState Condi went to frown with ~~sorrow~~ indigestion at the Arafish's rotted remains.

#12 Fred,

Get rid of the pic you use for this dhimmi. Show him as he looks now--old, senile and crazed. That's closer to the real man.

#13 And Jimmuh ain't an "American official" anyway, ya twits. He's just a stupid peanut farmer who USED to be an American official. Private citizen these days, except he still gets SS protection and a nice retirement.
