Of Course: Carter To Hold Tete-A-Tete With Assad In Damascus

Holding

Hardly worth blogging…

Former US president Jimmy Carter will meet Syrian President Bashar Assad and top Syrian officials during a visit in Syria next week, Israel Radio reported on Friday night. Carter will also visit Lebanon, where he is expected to speak at the American University in Beirut.

… except for the part where the US just spent the better part of a year preparing and executing an attack on our enemies in Syria. The irony is that Carter will be a slightly less honored guest than the vicious child murderer who just left Damascus:

Syrian President Bashar Assad has awarded murderer Samir Kuntar the country’s highest medal for spending nearly three decades in an Israeli jail. The Syrian News Agency says Kuntar, who murdered a young girl and her father, received the Syrian Order of Merit during a meeting with Assad in Damascus Monday.

The kinds of people anti-Israel partisans are willing to rub elbows with…
