"He said the Israeli prisoner in Gaza [Gilad Shalit] was alive and he is concerned with a swap of a thousand people at least and about the Palestinian elected officials who have been arrested [by Israeli forces].
Whooh! A thousand prisoners being held by Israel?
I don't think they have that many prisoners.
Jesse, you ignorant slut.
You can say what you want about Jesse Jackson, but he's always been successful at getting hostages released. In addition the families seem to find comfort in him when he brings them back. I hope he can get the Israeli soldiers released. If he can pull this one off, then he deserves respect for that.
I don't know about Carter, but Jesse Jackson always walks out with the hostage. I may not agree with his politics, but he is successful at getting hostages released. Unindicted practioner of private foreign policy? I don't think so. He probably just keeps talking at them, until the hostage holder can't take it any more. If I could talk someone into releasing an American hostage, I'd do it. I wouldn't care what anyone called me.
When asked what he thought of Beirut, he relied; "Lou gehrig was a better hitter."
