Haniyeh approves Jimmy Carter's intervention in Palestinian affairs
2007-07-23
I believe this is called "betting with house money"...
Gaza – Ma'an – Deposed Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh on Sunday stated his approval of the intervention of former US President Jimmy Carter in the Palestinian domestic crisis.
What's the deal Jimmy? They gonna cough up Yasser's Nobel Peace Prize so you'll have the matching set?
Haniyeh's comments were made during a meeting with director of the Carter Centre in the West Bank, Scott Caster, in Haniyeh's office in Gaza City.
Jimmy send an emissary over? Wasn't that big of him?
Caster conveyed to Haniyeh Carter's willingness to mediate in the domestic Palestinian dispute.
Haven't whored yourself out in awhile, Jimmy? Getting bored?
Haniyeh said that any mediation should be just and based on Palestinian legitimacy.
Wink, wink...

#15  Carter doesn't understand that the same mediator can't broker one deal between Begin and Sadaat as well as one between Fatah and Hamas. The first deal is based on the recognition of the state of Israel. The second deal will be an agreement by two parties to destroy Israel. Only Jerry Springer would try to broker both deals ... and he wouldn't do it either unless ther were cross-dressers involved or people sleeping with their cousins and as far as I know the Saudis are not a stakeholder.

The Carter Center has a site in the West Bank with resident American staff? Are the Saudis paying for that, too?

#7  Jimmy, we got bad news. So far the bidding for your release has topped at one peanut.

#6  Especially if they did so unsuccessfully. Nudge, nudge.

#5  Wouldn't it be interesting if one of the renegade clans in Gaza captured Jimmah and held him for ransom?

#4  It must be difficult for Carter to remain so impenetrable that even Haniyeh's approval of him isn't a source of burning shame. I wonder when Jimmy's finally going to enlist as a human shield for the terrorists.

#3  The fix is in. His solution will be for the Israelis to withdraw to Tel Aviv and for the U.S. to admit its completely at fault and to rain money on Hamas.

#2  Go ahead, Ishmail. Take him. Please. And there's no need to hurry getting him back to us either.
