Hezbollah Notifies Carter: Actually You're Kind Of A Pathetic Tool

Tool

Ingrates. And after all he did to create benefactors for them in Tehran, absurd Reuters and Guardian propaganda aside:

Leaders of the Lebanese Shi'ite Muslim group Hezbollah have turned down a request to meet former U.S. President Jimmy Carter during a visit to Lebanon that began on Tuesday, a Carter spokesman said. Carter had requested a meeting with the Iran-backed political and military movement, which is listed as a terrorist group by Washington, as part of a visit to assess whether his Carter Center will monitor a legislative election next year. "I understand that some of the leaders of Hezbollah have said they were not going to meet with any president or former presidents of the United States," Carter said upon his arrival at Beirut airport.

I wonder if he was going to ask them about their Hitler Youth-style training camps. You're thinking no?

These are anti-Semitic genocidal lunatics who were nonetheless still willing to meet with Norm Finkelstein - who is, remember, technically Jewish. And even they think Carter's too much of a tool to waste time on. But the good news is that he's got another book coming out about the Israeli-Arab conflict. You can be confident that it'll be filled with nothing but objective and level-headed analysis.
