Carter: Those guys who tried to blow me up – take them off of the terrorist list.
In Gaza, Jimmy Carter was doing what he does best the other day – hugging blood-soaked terrorists. According to Fox News, he plans on talking to the president about removing them from the terrorist list;
Former President Jimmy Carter will urge the Obama administration to remove Hamas from the terrorist list, FOX News has learned.
Carter, a chief defender of the U.S.-designated terror group, said Tuesday he will meet with officials in the Obama administration in two days to discuss his latest trip to the Middle East.
Carter said he feels personally responsible that American weapons were used to fight in Gaza Strip last year, when Israeli Defense Forces entered the strip to stop the launch of rockets from there into Israel.
Why does he feel personally responsible? Was he the one shooting rockets into israel? But the best part of Carter telling the president that Hamas shouldn’t be designated as terrorists? They tried to blow his stupid ass up as he left Gaza;
According to two eyewitnesses, including a 15-year-old boy, the bombs were intended to hit Carter’s vehicle as he exited Gaza. There is some suspicion that Hamas extremists linked to Al Qaeda may be behind the attempt.
The boy told FOX News he saw three Palestinian men planting bombs, four of which were later found near a mound less than a mile from the Israel-Gaza border.
Now, I don’t think anyone deserves to die in a terrorist attack – but you have to admit that the irony of that event would not be lost on the rest of the world. Jimmy Carter was the last president to walk the one-mile stretch from the Capitol to the White House on his Inauguration Day. By the time he left office, the world was such a dangerous place, Ronald Reagan had to ride most of the distance in an armored limousine.
The Russians seem upset that the palestinians didn’t succeed;
AFP reports that Carter’s inability to assign blame to victims showed through;
“My primary feeling today is one of grief and despair and an element of anger when I see the destruction perpetrated against innocent people,” Carter said as he toured the impoverished territory.
“Tragically, the international community too often ignores the cries for help and the citizens of Palestine are treated more like animals than like human beings,” he said.
It must be a wonderful feeling to judge entire peoples based on their current condition while ignoring what got them to that point. I think it’s called naivete.
UPDATED: Ace of Spades says that it was Israel that actually provided the intelligence which saved Carter from winning the Nobel Pieces Prize.

I don’t think naivete is a strong enough word to describe Fellow Traveller Carter’s total, complete, and utter cluelessness about the Palestinians, Hamas and the entire Middle Eastern problem. Those animals try to kill him and he *STILL* defends them?!?!? I’d say he needs to go back to building rickety, unsafe, non-standard slum housing…and then live in one himself. To quote that Oscar-winning wabbit: “What a maroon!!”
Yes, it’s repetitive, but Carter is a moron. For one thing, does he not know that Israel could easily buy weapons from another country? Would his “guilt” diminish if so? I dare say not. He has thoroughly imbibed the twisted notion that if only America did this or that, all conflicts would be resolvable-as if we’re the only people who can make choices.
Lost in The Ozone. Apologies to Commander cody and The Lost Planet Airmen.
I am not an expert but I’m thinking that Jimmy is not quite all there on anything. Let’s face it, he is in his 80s and being away from the peanut farm has taken it’s toll. He was pretty much worthless as CinC from 77 to 81 and is far more worthless today. I was on Active Duty back then and it was no picnic.
It’s time for Jimmy to hit the rocking chair on the fromt porch. It’s all he is good for, anymore.

Glenn,
I am with you (Ft. Riley, 1st ID, 77-79). While Carter was in office we did Tank maneuvers in jeeps, cause we couldn’t afford fuel. We had to get a motor officer signature to get any more fuel than 5 gallons. When we rolled out to the field, fully 1/3 of our vehicles were left behind do to lack of parts.
This @#sclown is still trying pull something good from his failed presidency and his foreign policy of surrender, er, diplomacy.
If he had dealt forcefully with Iran in the 70’s, our troops wouldn’t be dying from Iranian EFP’s now.
Sorry, I ranted a little, but Carter just makes me want to gag.
Just another senile old man, trying to rationalize his ramblings, er, legacy. Let me add, for clarification, an anti-semitic, senile old man. He was a pussy as pres, he’s just an older pussy now.
