Hamas Rejects Clinton's Call For It To Recognize Israel
HAARETZ ^ | February 28, 2009

Hamas rejected Saturday U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's remarks that a successful Palestinian reconciliation process must include recognition of Israel by Hamas.

"Hamas will not recognize Israel or the Quartet's conditions, and Clinton's statement is not acceptable to the Palestinian people," said Hamas spokesman Ismail Radwan.

Clinton said Friday that a successful Palestinian reconciliation process between Fatah and Hamas must include recognition of Israel by Hamas.

Oh, darn. I had such high hopes. Particularly after Jimmy Carter gave Hamas his seal of approval.

So now our tax dollars are going to a group that wants to destroy Israel.

Obama should wake up, or go back to Chicago.

.................Today’s headline: “US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton plans to announce a $900 million pledge of US aid for Gaza and the Palestinian Authority.” She wants them to promise that they will not give any of this money to the Hamas..................................

No problem. Don’t give it to Hamas, give it directly to Iran as a prepayment for all the rockets that Hamas wants to buy

Well, there goes Plan A down the drain.

It was such a good plan too. Now that we have Obama, I figured asking the terrorists to be nice was going to work. That's never been tried before, has it?

Obama has to get his butt over there and clear things up right away!!! This type of talk is counter productive to an Obama run administration and he must make it clear to Hamas that this is not the same Hillary Clinton he once knew!

Our economy is in the toilet and we are going to send more money to aid terrorists, only to the tune of $2.8 BILLION?

But, but, but, the One was supposed to make them all love us instantly as soon as he was elected. All of the terrorist and other American haters would fall in love with the One and do as he wishes. What happened to that? Are any moderates and liberals paying attention to this crap?

Also, I don’t care what she offers, no muslim is ever going to negotiate in good faith with a woman, and probably not most men, but definitely not with a woman. Don’t these people ever pay attention to the people they are dealing with? That is why Bush’s pick of Condi was also a dumb move.

Then raise the $900 million to $2 billion, and promise them an outing at the White House with The One.

Good. I’m delighted Hamas said this to Hillary. Now, Bibi has free rein as soon as he is PM and the next time Hamas launches missiles into Israel (which is all of the time), to immediately go into Gaza and stomp the sh*t out of Hamas, destroying them as a political entity as much as possible. And what can Hillary/Mitchell (the gruesome twosome) say?

Hamas has said it won’t recognize Israel or make peace, so Bibi will take out an intractable enemy who will not bend or co-exist with Israel and that threatens her very existence. And even if the gruesome twosome do squawk, well that’s just too d*mned bad. What are they going to do about it, eh? Nada. The deed will be done. Then onto Iran. Time for Israel to stop being a puppet on a string to the U.S. Time for her to go her own way, to tell the Quartet to buzz off, and to fight for her very survival as best she can. Israel needs to tell her enemies and her lukewarm “friends” (I use that word loosely) to go take a long walk off a short pier.
