Hamas leader hails Obama's new approach

The exiled leader of the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas on Sunday hailed the "new lexicon" being used by US President Barack Obama towards foreign policy issues the Middle East.
"The challenge for everyone is that (Obama's new language) is a prelude to a sincere change (of direction) in US and European foreign policy," Khaled Meshaal said in an interview with Italian newspaper La Repubblica.

A senior US envoy said in Damascus earlier this month that Syria can be an important and constructive force in the Middle East, as Washington pursues a new policy of engaging with all countries in the region, even long-time foes.

And the Syria-based leader predicted that an "official" opening of US and European Union channels for dialogue with Hamas, listed as a terrorist organisation by the EU since 2003, is now "only a matter of time".

"The big powers need us to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict," he said.

"Our weight in resolving the Palestinian question stems from our roots in society, in the people who have voted for us and who will do so again."

Meanwhile, Meshaal accused former Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert of moving the goalposts on a deal with Israel to free captured soldier Gilat Shalit.

Olmert on Tuesday blamed Hamas for the failure of Egyptian-brokered prisoner talks, saying Israel was prepared to release 320 of the 450 prisoners demanded by the group.

Shalit reached 1,000 days in captivity on Saturday.

What a great endorsement to get! Of course, we have to be honest here that all leaders probably get an endorsement from someone they'd rather not claim.

True... I really laugh my ass off when I originally read the article. So I thought I would share.

Everyone and it's dog hails Obama right now... So why not a Hamas leader?

You win some you lose some. Chavez thinks Obama is an ignoramus. Khaled hails him. This politics is confusing.
Con = with/cheat
fusing = joining.

There again, Kahled is exiled. I'd also part someone on the back if it maybe would give me free board and lodging. :dunno: Pawn to King 4. Wonder what his next cry will be.

So what? Seriously?

So now that Obama has this, is he going to join forces with Hamas and nuke Israel? Of course not! This message makes no difference whatsoever.

The only thing it does do is further the sharade of thread, counter thread etc etc etc.

:crash:

Blue... I just thought it was funny that a Hamas leader would "endorse" Obama. It wasn't meant to be a political bashing.

Hamas leader hails Obama

and Uhura answered promptly.

...ahem. Reminds me of the skit on SNL where Bush endorsed McCain and he was fighting so hard to disassociate himself.. but Bush kept saying "This is the man for the job! This is four more years of me!" while McCain winced and tried getting a few words in here and there.

The previous plan by our Presidents of threatening, glaring and talking tough in soundbytes didn't seem to do much, did it?

Perhaps actually talking to them and treating them as people will stop the suicide bombings and the flag burnings?

Simply agreeing to talk to someone you don't like is not an act of appeasement or weakness, no matter what the chickenhawks like Rove, Bush, Cheney and Fox News tell us.

You really think that will work?
They (Islamic Jihadists) will start sending us flowers and candy if we just talk to them and treat them as people, instead of coldhearted murder jockeys? Really?
That will just leave the other fellow Muslims they have slaughtered in the hundreds of thousands to blow up, behead, and shoot undisturbed .
Sorry, while you may think whining and apologizing for existing would inspire a peaceful and friendly response from Islamic extremists, they have traditionally perceived any response to aggression that is less than forceful as a sign of weakness, and concentrate even more on an obviously successful strategy of terror and violence.

Have you ever thought of developing a thought and actually expressing it in other than a single sentence?
