Apparently not satisfied with meeting only with Syrian dictator Bashar Assad, America’s most disgraceful former president Jimmy Carter is now looking for an opportunity to hug the murderous thugs of Hezbollah: Carter, in Lebanon, says ready to meet with Hezbollah officials.

Carter made the comments upon arrival in Lebanon where he will assess whether his Atlanta-based Carter Center would take part in monitoring next year’s parliamentary elections.

Asked whether he would meet with Hezbollah officials during his five-day visit, Carter told reporters that it was up to the militant group, which the U.S. considers a terrorist organization.

“I am going to meet with all of the political parties as possible,” Carter said. “I understand that several leaders of Hezbollah said they were not going to meet with any president or former president of the United States, so I don’t know yet.”

A Hezbollah official told The Associated Press the group had no immediate comment on Carter’s remarks but said it might issue a statement, most likely on Wednesday.

The right-wing hawks who thought Iraq would be a cakewalk think it'd be easy to attack Iran. Real soldiers say no.
