One of Barack Obama’s Middle East policy advisers disclosed yesterday that he had held meetings with the militant Palestinian group Hamas – prompting the likely Democratic nominee to sever all links with him.
Robert Malley told The Times that he had been in regular contact with Hamas, which controls Gaza and is listed by the US State Department as a terrorist organisation. Such talks, he stressed, were related to his work for a conflict resolution think-tank and had no connection with his position on Mr Obama’s Middle East advisory council.
“I’ve never hidden the fact that in my job with the International Crisis Group I meet all kinds of people,” he added.
Ben LaBolt, a spokesman for Mr Obama, responded swiftly: “Rob Malley has, like hundreds of other experts, provided informal advice to the campaign in the past. He has no formal role in the campaign and he will not play any role in the future.” The rapid departure of Mr Malley followed 48 hours of heated clashes between John McCain, the Republican nominee-elect, and Mr Obama over Middle East policy.
(Snip)
Randy Scheunemann, Mr McCain’s foreign policy chief, suggested that Mr Malley was part of an emerging pattern in which other advisers had been repudiated after throwing confusion over policies on trade and Iraq. “Perhaps because of his inexperience Senator Obama surrounds himself with advisers that contradict his stated policies,” he said.

now thats the black calling the kettle pot....
I’d prefer prison jump suits.
I posted the link and it came up oddly so I asked it be removed....I’m, hopeless with this kind of thing...please forgive..
If Obama is elected President, God will have allowed him to be in that position. Most likely, for His judgment to begin on our shores - something we do deserve for even allowing clowns such as Hillary, Obama, and McCain to even be in the running.
...and to Jimmy Carter, Bill Richardson, Hildebeast, Ted Kennedy, Jesse Jackson, et al.

Don't let the BS snake oil salesman get away with making the Jewish vote believe he gives a damn for them...after the election he'll cozy up to the Palestinians once again!!!
Obama sacks a guy for doing what he (Obama) has said he would do as President.
Well, he was fired for being caught, which was certainly a reasonable thing for Obama to do.
"Chittum starts out by asking the reader to figure out which "tier" you belong to in the new order. If you are a member of the white working class you will immediatly understand what Chittum means. The "International Bureaucratic Elite" are the ones destroying America and creating an empire for their own purposes,power and greed. To do this the white working class must be degraded to third class citizens. This will be done through "racist affimative action",politcal correctness, and outright tyranny. Since whites are the economic and racial backbone of America, they must go."
One muslim sacking another just so the wolf can continue on.
Heck, we wouldn't even know without the Internet.
We need a drastic plan, and we will need funding, to go up against Soros and all major media.
Just the fact that he’s about to be given the nomination should be considered a stern warning.
The punch line is that McCain will win without money.
I will not fund McCain. I funded the Daschle expulsion, and that was
where I stopped after 2004. The RNC has gone renegade, I don't get it.
God Bless,
MaxMax.
Not God, but Colt, H&K, you get the idea.
Could we get so lucky as to have this fool as the Democrat candidate?
Who said anything about funding McCain or the RNC?
Not me. Never mentioned his name, never even thought of him.
We do not need Washington, we can do it ourselves.
Yet he says McCain was losing his marbles for saying Hamas favored Obama.
Why would the spokehole mention "he will not play any role in the future" if Malley has no "formal role" in the campaign?
Where have I heard this kind of parsing before? Hmmm...
I hope you’re right. Let me know if I can help in any way.
