ME peace still possible in 2008...Hamas is trying to wreck chances for the peace process. .

Someone needs to tell Condi that Hamas is/are palestinians. They're the elected government of the whole darn peaceful state she's creating, in control of 30-40% of the population, and in the view of most observers including Gen. Dayton will control the rest if Israel leaves. They're not businessmen as you claimed a couple years ago. Time for the naiveté to end. Hamas should never have been allowed in the government. The beginning of todays problems

A Pro-Hamas Foreign Policy?-Why is Washington urging terrorists to run for elective office?

Secretary Rice on CNN: US will respect elections if Hamas wins

White House: OK if Hamas controls PLC- "business professionals...not terrorists"

White House: Hamas members elected in PA not terrorists

She said Hamas, which took over the Gaza Strip last July, is armed "in part" by Iran and underlined the need for the United States and the West to train and develop the PA security forces loyal to Abbas, whose government controls the West Bank.

She is officially nuts!!! First we send them millions of $$$$ now we are going to equip and train the terrorists....

The moderate U.S.-backed Palestinian leadership in the West Bank suspended peace talks in protest, and gave no date for return. That made restoring two-way talks Rice's chief objective for a trip she had planned to check up on the negotiators' progress.

Here's an idea. We tell then, stop the protest or we stop the funding. your CHOICE. Better yet we stop the funding and tell them if you ever want funding from us again you will act civilized and stop supporting terrorists.

As usual, I will pray Rice fails.
