US Officials: Hamas Slipped Note to Obama Via Senator (Jean Francois Kerry)
CNN ^ | 2/20/09

Posted on 02/20/2009 4:52:23 PM PST by lewisglad

Islamic fundamentalist group Hamas passed Sen. John Kerry a letter for President Obama while Kerry visited Gaza on Thursday, senior State Department officials said.

Sen. John Kerry tours Gaza's ruins with U.N. officials Thursday, the day he reportedly got a letter from Hamas.

The letter for the president is in the hands of the U.S. Consulate in Jerusalem, the officials said Friday.

Kerry, the Democratic chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, toured the devastation in Gaza and met with officials from the U.N. Works Relief Agency, the main provider of humanitarian aid in Gaza.

Frederick Jones, the committee's communications director, told CNN at the end of Kerry's meeting with UNRWA chief Karen Abu Zayed that "she handed [Kerry] a letter addressed to the president of the United States along with other materials."

The U.S. considers Hamas a terrorist organization and has no contact with the organization.

Kerry, D-Massachusetts, first learned that the letter was included in the materials, Jones said, after he left Gaza for meetings in Israel, when reports began to emerge that he had a letter from Hamas.

What ‘OTHER’ materials?

Green pieces of paper with Ben Franklin's portrait on them, no doubt.

Bibi should arrest him as a spy.

Olmert is still Prime Minister, and I doubt Bibi would do a thing. If The One, or Kerry, want to talk to Hamas, they can pick up the phone.

But you raise an interesting poing. Is Kerry traveling on a diplomatic passport? If not, Israel would be completely within their rights detaining and interrogating him.

That's a serious question if anyone knows, do Congresscritters have diplomatic immunitity when traveling abroad?

Fun?

I don't know about that.

The next 4 years will certainly be 'enlightening', much like the last 30 days have been.........

'Rats on parade, etc.......and they are sure getting the attention that has been needed for a long time.

Did Hamas know Kerry is at least one-quarter Jewish.

. . .after The Boston Globe reported on Page 1 that his grandfather,(in addition to his grandmother) too, had been born Jewish. Within hours, Kerry was in a Florida synagogue, extolling his Jewish roots.

“I am so excited,” he told the American Israel Public Affairs Committee during a dinner last week at Congregation B’nai Israel of Palm Beach. “I've embraced what I have learned, and a light has literally turned on within me — like an epiphany — and I am proud to share this special measure of connection with you.”

“I HATE THAT POS KERRY! HOW HE CONTINUES TO BE ABLE TO MOUTH OFF!”

Me to! My son came real close to punching him in the face in a bar in Georgetown a few years ago while he was there on an internship. I wish he had now....LOL!

He was walking into this bar and Kerry just ran right into him (my son is over 6’2”) and hit him real hard in the shoulder. My son said ‘excuse you’ and then realized it was Kerry! He said he was ready to punch his lights out until he realized who it was. Kerry just stuck his nose in the air and walked right past him.

I think you are all missing the main point here...

"SENIOR STATE DEPARTMENT OFFICIALS..."

Hillary is whittling away at Obama. Would have been less embarassing to keep this secret if she was on his side.....I wonder if it was her idea to go to indonesia, and I wonder if she got the documents she was after on his citizenship there ?...Hmmm.

That lying, back stabbing, traitorous son of a bitch is at it again ! Dealing with the enemy V.C. in Paris before and now schmoozing with Hamas.

I'd like to plant my foot 3 feet up his ass, then try him for treason.

I despise John Kerry. (Asshole - Ma)
