Hamas endorses Obama

He may pull out of Iraq, but that's entirely different from how he'd handle a group like Hamas.

None of the three candidates are likely to recognize Hamas or negotiate with them. The only difference between the three candidates is that McCain is willing to be openly hostile with them.

I can't possibly imagine better foreign policy than that. To me, foreign policy does not need to be defined by doing what's in the best interest of making peace. It's doing what's in the best interests of the United States, even if it doesn't earn you friends. Fuck Hamas, they can all die.

I think the fact that his name is "Baraq Hussein Obama" may have helped sway them as well. If someone named "Charles W. Jones" were running for President of Iran, I would definitely be tempted to endorse him.

But I think, on some level, it's interesting how others (abroad) inject themselves into our(domestic) political process. It seems like the word "endorse" has almost become trendy of late, and analogous to "we share the same ideologies and concerns; we're on the same side."

I wonder if it's a by product of our media driven culture.

The folks up in Berkley support Obama too.

“That’s why I have a fundamental difference with President Carter and disagree with his decision to meet with Hamas,” Obama said. “We must not negotiate with a terrorist group intent on Israel’s destruction. We should only sit down with Hamas if they renounce terrorism, recognize Israel’s right to exist and abide by past agreements.”
“Hamas is not a state. Hamas is a terrorist organization,” he said.

- Barack Obama

Has Jeremiah Wright recognized Israel's right to exist yet?

Should that even matter? It's not as though Reverend Wright is running for office and Obama has made clear that Israel does in fact have the right to exist.

It's important to me that The President be comitted to Israel. I think Obama could take it or leave it. Totally unacceptable.

Our detonation was a benevolent detonation...it saved lives. Besides, in wars somebody has got to die, might as well be them...right?

You lot talk of Israel as if it's a wonderful country. This is your tax dollars at work:
