NEW YORK CITY" Former President Jimmy Carter is reportedly preparing an unprecedented meeting with the leader of Hamas, an organization that the U.S. government considers one of the leading terrorist threats in the world.[/b]
The Arabic-language newspaper Al-Hayat reported Tuesday that Carter was planning a trip to Syria for mid-April, during which he would meet with Khaled Meshal, the exiled head of the Palestinian terror group Hamas, on April 18.
"I"m not surprised that Carter would do this, as he has been supporting Palestinian extremism for many years," said Steve Emerson, director of the Investigative Project on Terrorism, a watchdog group.
Yeah, but, if Carter's in a completely different hemisphere, what's ol' Hugo gonna do? When Jimmy was bestest buds with Fidel, they were close enough that Chavez could drop by for a little coffee klatch...
Maybe the dynamite strapped around whatever punjabbi heads that outfit will ignite from static electricity generated by shaking Carter's hand, ridding the world of one of the world's foremost supporters of terrorism and an a arab at the same time.
