Crawford, Texas (AP) -- The deaths of hundreds of Palestinians in Israel's deadliest-ever air assault on the militant Hamas further complicates President-elect Barack Obama's challenge to achieve a Middle East peace — something that eluded both the Bush and Clinton administrations.
The Bush administration has blamed the renewed violence on the militant Islamic group Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip, saying it broke a cease-fire by firing rockets and mortars deep into Israeli territory. The Arab world, however, has reacted with rage to the aggressive Israeli counterattacks, which have left at least 290 Palestinians dead and more than 600 wounded.
It's unclear whether Obama will be as supportive of Israel as President George W. Bush has been.

Just wait til Israel hits Hezbollah
the new fuhrer’s (well, his eminence grice handlers’) peace plan involves the elimination of Israel — no Israel=peace
Hey that my Angel’s Rally Monkey, yuck now the fraud is on it..double yuck
that pic is totally suh-weeet
We have just elected someone president and we don’t know whose side he is on in the Middle East? Good grief.
How can a policy get complicated if there is no policy?
REALITY, in this as in most other things, complicates Obama’s policies.
great (sad) potrait.
paging Mrs Bill Clinton, please report to your aircraft, a brush fire is in progress in the Middle-East....(please pass the popcorn, this should be interesting)
Oh, I'm sure he has some kind of 'policy'.
What is odd is that one would even have to question it of a pre-swearing in President. It should be something that was addressed in the debates. It is something we should know.
Not having the complete control of the political machine in the US, like the one in Chicago, has complicated it for the half-ass senator Obama.
But, with a little time, and the continued cooperation of the media, that will change.
The fantasy is coming to an ugly, abrupt end. The media who sold the fantasy in the first place, are soon going to be looking for some hard answers from Obama to some various serious situations. They are going to get nothing more than the fluff they let him pass with in the campaign.
He can barely manage the 'job' of president-elect. Let's see what he does when he has to stop pretending to be president.
Is Barry even aware of this ?
Between the oiling of his hairless body to preen for the salivating press pool to the incessant
visits to the gym to the snow cone runs-
Alfred E Barry seems like a guy without a care in the world.
I guess people will find out that BS is not a policy
That evil bitch Klintoon will kiss Arafats wife again and walk around with a rag on her head
And The Bush administration, the Reagan administration, the Ford administration, the Nixon administration, the Johnson administration....
and Tom Brokaw and Charlie Rose still don’t know what Obama’s China policy is either. They never bothered to ask.
Did this nitwit have any policy? This empty suit has no policy and is the most dangerous President we will ever have. He is insane.
