Carter and Bin Laden - Two Peas In A Pod

This isn't what I was going to write about, but it turned up as I was doing some research, and it is the first I had heard about it, so I will pass it along.

Apparently the new open and transparent White House, since the flap over the Flag the White House Dot Org, has decided to just cut out the snitches, and is now just pulling information off Facebook, and Youtube, and probably every where else. Most likely any forums you might frequent. As it seems open and transparent only applies during speeches.

Of course they are doing nothing wrong. I wonder what would have happened if Bush did this?

I was going to write a piece on Nancy Pelosi and all her kooky comments during the Bush years, and see if they passed the Congressional “rules of the House when talking about the President”. But she has said so many kooky things I started getting a headache.

So on to the real topic of today. I think you all know my personal opinion of Jimmy Carter. But to be fair, he does have his fans.

One of his fans is Osama Bin Laden. In his latest rant against the Western World, he suggests we read Mr Carter's Palestine Peace Not Apartheid.

Here is a snippet of a review:

President Carter's Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid is a narrative that appears to be based largely on the version of history that Yasser Arafat and his close associates have presented to Carter. The very title of the book, which suggests a parallel between the actions of the state of Israel and of apartheid South Africa, reflects one of the current themes of the anti-Israel propaganda machine.

But it is understandable, since Mr Carter has taken a lot of money, in the Millions, from the very people that want to destroy Israel.

The Zayed Centre for Coordination and Follow-up, who claim the Holocaust was a fable, hosted a speech by Mr Carter, and he accepted a donation of an unknown amount.

Saudi King Fahd contributed 7.6 million to the Carter Center in 1993 .He also received a million dollar pledge from the Saudi-based bin Laden family. Hmm, why does that name sound familiar?

In the late 2970' his Peanut farm was bailed out by the Saudi Royal family.

Agha Hasan Abedi, gave Carter $500,000 to help him establish his center, and more than $10 million to his different projects.

Here is just one article on his anti semite antics:

I was going to go in depth, but now he is giving me a headache. And as I said yesterday, he needs to go away.

I'm sure Ossama Bin Laden would love to see his old friend again.
