Report: Jimmy Carter to Meet With Hamas Leader in Syria

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.

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.

Maybe Jimmeh is hoping that a Democratic administration will empower him to relive his earlier victories as an effective elder statesman, now that his military leadership is no longer in effect.

Or maybe he's just trying to find a new BFF. After all, some of his absolute favorite people have faded from the scene, and other old buddies are either failing rapidly in health or just don't seem to want him around anymore, now that he doesn't swing so big a stick, and despite BIG favors done for them in the past.

You're 83 years old, Mr. Carter. It's time to retire and go play with the grandkids, maybe build some more houses for the poor. Really. Or if you feel you simply must deal with Hamas without official credentials, you could exercise your talents in children's literature--I hear they do some work in that direction, and you'd likely be a real tool useful fool valuable asset to jihadist Palestinian indoctrination educational efforts. Could be right up your alley.

Believe it or not, we really can get along without you.
