Hamas is an especially tough organization to discredit in the Middle-East. It pays off people, supplies food and other supplies and is kind of a red cross organization for the Palestinians. This makes it very tough for the U.S. to portray them as evil. It has taken a long time to move the Palestinians away from Hamas. It seems to be working in the West Bank. Even if we do have a bad situation, and it is simply terrible over there, the West Bank is somewhat better than it was.
There, working our asses off for decades we have made progress. Hamas is viewed with some suspicion on the West Bank. And then Carter comes in trotting along yelling gedi-up gedi-up, and grants status to Hamas in a one trick pony show under the big top.
Carter isn't as dumb as we think. He's a saboteur, plain and simple.
Saddam Hussein funded the families of Hamas’ suicide bombers. Terrorism is as terrorism does.
Reform Islam is like Reform Nazism. It is still the evil cult of a conquering warlord.
