Jimmy Carter: Most of the condemnations of my book came from Jewish American organizations, which think that I believe there is racial segregation inside Israel. I don’t base it on that. My whole book is written about Palestine and its lands, and about what is going on against the Palestinian people, which is, in my view, very similar, and in some cases even worse, than what happened to the blacks in South Africa. ... I don’t consider... I wasn’t equating the Palestinian missiles with terrorism.Video clip here.

But for the fact that Jimmauh C was President of the United States, his perpetual antics [as in] always seeking recognition, could be laughed off as a running joke on an old fuck [older than me anyway lol] reliving the sadness surrounding his pathetically lame efforts. *********************
The rub is because he was President of the United Sates [shit be upon us] he remains a dangerous threat to all freedom loving peoples everywhere; on the Korean Peninsula.....Japan.......SE Asia....Iran.....Israel....the ME......Cuba....South America....and us the citizens of the USA. **********************
The Power of the office of the President gave him the power to do great harm and he has never missed an opportunity to put us all at greater risk, back then or now.*********He is truly a loathsome creature.

MANILA, Philippines - A top al-Qaida-linked militant accused of masterminding the kidnapping of three Americans who was long wanted by U.S. and Philippine authorities has been killed, the military said Wednesday.

Jainal Antel Sali Jr., popularly known as Abu Sulaiman — a top leader of the Abu Sayyaf rebel group — was fatally shot in a fierce gunbattle Tuesday in a clash with army special forces, military chief Gen. Hermogenes Esperon said.
Sulaiman is the highest-ranking Abu Sayyaf commander killed by U.S.-backed troops. Washington had offered up to $5 million for his capture.
"We have resolved that this group and their major commanders must be finished off, that this notorious group should see its end," Esperon told a news conference.
Sulaiman allegedly helped plot a February 2004 bombing that triggered a ferry fire, killing 116 people in Southeast Asia's second-worst terror attack.
He also was accused of masterminding the kidnapping of three Americans and Filipino tourists from the southeastern island of Palawan in 2001.
One of the Americans, Guillermo Sobero, was beheaded. American missionary Gracia Burnham was wounded and rescued by army commandos after a year in jungle captivity, but her husband, Martin, was killed during the operation.
The kidnappings prompted Philippine authorities to allow the deployment of U.S. troops in the southern Mindanao region to train and arm Filipino soldiers working to wipe out the resilient Abu Sayyaf.
On Tuesday, army forces raided Sulaiman's camp, sparking a three-hour gunbattle through dense forests, said regional army spokesman Maj. Eugene Batara. Other insurgents escaped but troops are chasing them, Batara said.
Villagers on the mountainous southern island of Jolo, a rebel informant and one of the wives of the slain rebel identified his body after the clash between the army's 8th Special Forces Company and about 60 Abu Sayyaf gunmen, about 590 miles south of Manila, Esperon said.
Esperon displayed a picture of the slain militant, then stood up to scribble an `x' mark across Sulaiman's face in a U.S. poster of most-wanted terror suspects.
Esperon said that Sulaiman's death could set off retaliatory attacks, but that the military was ready to thwart any such assaults.
"I believe the activities of the Abu Sayyaf will go down considerably," Esperon said.
Sulaiman, a 41-year-old civil engineer, began his activism by joining the Moro Islamic Liberation Front, a Muslim separatist group that signed a peace accord with the government in 1996.
He broke off from the MNLF due to the accord's signing and decided to work in Saudi Arabia for a few years building highways and buildings, according to police intelligence reports. In the late 1990s, he returned home and joined the Abu Sayyaf.
Having once been a builder, Sulaiman was asked by The Associated Press last year in a telephone interview why he would want to destroy.
He said their attacks were retribution for the many atrocities committed against Muslims worldwide. "I know that being once a builder of things would make me more efficient in destroying them," he said.

Jimmy Cracker thinks humiliating suicide bombers by walling them off from their intended victims is terrorism. He thinks we should all pay to turn Israel into a Habitat For Inhumanity for the Psuedostinians.
