There sure are some strange things taking place in the Middle East right now. And I don’t like any of it! This past week has been one of historic proportions. First we have this crazed liberal, former President Jimmy Carter, going to Israel on what he likes to think of as a goodwill mission. The only problem there is; where’s the goodwill?

There certainly wasn’t any “goodwill” created when Carter announced that he would be meeting with exiled Hamas deputy chief Khaled Meshal. And I doubt seriously that there was much goodwill created when Carter met earlier in the week with other members of the Hamas hierarchy. And there probably wasn’t a lot of goodwill when Carter laid a wreath at Arafat’s grave, either.

The goodwill wasn’t present when Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and other high-ranking Israeli’s refused to meet with the American apostate.

Wait a second! I think I’ve got it! The goodwill former Pres. Carter was speaking of was what Hamas Chief Meshal said of Carter’s meetings with Hamas. “Hamas officials say the meetings have lent their group legitimacy,” as reported by FoxNews.com. That must have been it. Boy, I’m glad we cleared the air on that, I was afraid we would never find Mr. Carter’s goodwill.

And, hey, it must be working. Why, just the other day Hamas showed that they were interested in the American political process. Yes sir, they showed their interest by endorsing, and putting their considerable political clout, behind one Barack Hussein Obama. Now, does that really come as a surprise to you liberals out there.

Heck, Hamas knows a pansy when they see one. Anyone that would call for a complete, reckless, disorderly retreat from Iraq is the kind of man that any terrorist group worth its salt can count on. Someone who will stand by his convictions of not fighting against, or even remotely insulting, radical Islam. They’ve had it up to their turbans with an American president who will actually retaliate in the face of danger. Not to mention one who will take pre-emptive measures to keep the homeland safe.

Nope, it’s time to get one of their own choosing in there. A man who isn’t too self-absorbed to apologize to the Afghani’s for helping them repel the Soviet invasion. Someone who isn’t too high-and-mighty to regret saving thousands, perhaps millions of Arabs when Saddam Hussein’s army invaded Kuwait.

I think this Carter trip has gotten Hamas all googley-eyed. They have started reminiscing about what it was like to have a weak-kneed, nearly-Communist leader on Pennsylvania Ave. Eight years of a President Bush must have seemed like forever for these bad guys. And by heck, they want their White House back…NOW!

I think we should all give President (choke) Carter a rousing round of applause when he comes home. Someone really needs to thank him for going over there and showing those Muslims that there are still some Americans who are willing to cave. Willing to meet their demands at the drop of a hat.

And while we’re praising Carter for that, let’s not forget to thank him for letting the extremists know that at least one of those willing to cut and run stands a pretty decent shot at winning in November! Thanks, Jimmy!
