Carter to hold talks with America's enemy

From The American Daily

'What Will Carter’s Meeting With Hamas Accomplish?'

By Aaron Goldstein (04/12/08)

...Naturally this statement begs several questions. Does Carter consider Khaled Meshal a defender of human rights? If he believes Meshal is a defender of human rights why does Meshal praise Iranian President Ahmadinejad’s statements the Holocaust is a myth and that Israel should be wiped off the map as “courageous declarations’? (http://english.aljazeera.net?English/archive/archive?ArchiveId=17093)

Does Carter believe Hamas seeks to build a peaceful and democratic society? If he believes Hamas seeks to build a peaceful and democratic society why does the Hamas Charter call for the State of Israel to be destroyed and replaced with a Palestinian state based on Islamic law?

If Carter honestly believes Meshal is a defender of human rights and also believes Hamas seeks to build a peaceful and democratic society then the former President is a fool who ought not to be suffered gladly.
But it is possible Carter does realize Meshal is no defender of human rights. It is also possible he knows Hamas wants a peaceful and democratic society about as much as Robert Mugabe wants to voluntarily leave power in Zimbabwe. In that case, why is Carter meeting with Meshal? What does he think he will accomplish?

For one thing, Carter gets one last chance to give the Bush Administration the one finger salute and undermine its position. He also gets yet another chance to stick a thumb to the eye of American Jews who have been increasingly critical of him in recent years.

It also gives Carter a platform to state he is restoring America’s good name by talking with its adversaries. This, of course, assumes America was ever in good standing with the likes of Hamas or that America should want to be in good standing with Hamas.

A visit with Meshal also gives Carter a forum to tell the world Hamas are a happy go lucky kind of people who want to live in peace with their Zionist comrades. I am sure he would tell Americans they have an inordinate fear of Hamas. After all, this is a man who said in Man From Plains that Ismail Haniyeh, the Prime Minister of the Hamas government in Gaza, supports peace talks between Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. This is the same Haniyeh who told students at Friday prayers in Tehran in December 2006 that Hamas would never recognize the State of Israel and would fight for the “liberation of Jerusalem.” (http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2006-12-08-palestinian-pm_x.htm)...

The above is just part of an article from The American Daily and, in my opinion, sets the tone for the entire article. Click on the title to read the entire article.

Former President Carter is out of touch with America. The Bush administration should deny Carter and his group the privilege of traveling to the mid-east.

Carter has no business talking to Hamas or any other terrorist organization. While in office he proved in Iran that he had no concept of handling foreign political affairs. He was completely out of touch regarding the state of affairs in Iran and thought that the Ayatollah was just a "nice old religious man."

History proves that Carter has never been a friend of Israel. Carter claims to be a Christian but I don't understand how he can be when he keeps stabbing them in the back. The Bible says about Israel "I will bless those who bless you, and curse those who curse you." When Carter stands before our Lord on Judgement Day he will definitely not receive any rewards for his stand and treatment of Israel, God's chosen people.

Jimmy, it's time you go home and retire!
