I Beg Your Pardon Mr. Carter

Jimmah via Washington Post:

And this fragile truce was partially broken on Nov. 4, when Israel launched an attack in Gaza to destroy a defensive tunnel being dug by Hamas inside the wall that encloses Gaza.
Mr. Carter, with alll due respect, you have your facts wrong. Since you are too old and senile, apparently, to use google.

Here ya go. Advanced Google News Archive search for "gaza" + "rockets" from the date of June 20th 2008 though Nov 1st 2008 (for firefox browser). Returns 2150 entries. Among them....

Rocket Attacks Threaten Mideast Truce, Israel Shutters Gaza Crossings June 24 2008.

Gaza militants fire two rockets July 10th 2008.

Israel to close Gaza Strip crossings Aug 11 2008

In all 40 rockets and mortar rounds have been fired from Gaza Strip since the start of the Egyptian-mediated calm, the spokesman said.

So Mr. Carter, your argument is based on a false statement/assumption/ignorance. I dunno. Loved your book about growing up in Plains though ;)

Gee its nice to PWN a former President before you finished your second cup of coffee.
