Just To Set The Record Straight – Carter A Loose Cannon

The Bush Administration just wants to make it clear that they did not support ex-president Jimmay Cahtah meeting with Hamas terrorists. Quite possibly they learned what happens when Carter goes off to talk to psychopaths by reviewing Mr. Peanut’s folly in North Korea and knew that he would quite possibly come away claiming, “peace in our time!”

KUWAIT CITY (AP) - Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Tuesday the Bush administration explicitly warned former President Jimmy Carter against meeting with members of Hamas, the Palestinian faction that controls the Gaza Strip and which is regarded by the U.S. as a terror group.

Rice, attending a regional meeting on Iraq’s security and future, contradicted Carter’s assertions that he never got a clear signal from the State Department. Rice told reporters that the U.S. thought the visit could confuse the message that the U.S. will not deal with Hamas.

“I just don’t want there to be any confusion,” Rice said. “The United States is not going to deal with Hamas and we had certainly told President Carter that we did not think meeting with Hamas was going to help” further a political settlement between Israel and the Palestinians.

Carter said top Hamas leaders told him during seven hours of talks in Damascus over the weekend that they are willing to live next to Israel, but a top Hamas official said the group would never outright recognize the Jewish state.

I already discussed how Jimmy claimed one thing yet Hamas claimed another here (insert link). But that won’t stop those with blinders on from believing that Hamas really is a peace loving group of misguided folks who don’t want to do anyone any harm.
