Via Powerlineblog.com comes this little piece of information. Even though Obama promised to meet with other terrorist groups without precondition, he did say that Hamas was one group he wouldn't be meeting with- as he stated publicly, he wouldn't meet with them until they renounced terrorism and recognized Israel's right to exist. By meeting with them, it would be recognizing their claims and giving them increased status within the Muslim world, and would be a bad thing for everyone.
Apparently though Obama was lying, and that not only does he intend to meet with terrorist groups who want to murder all Jews in Israel, he ALREADY has been meeting with these terrorists, sitting down with them and fomenting policy before he even is President.
Yesterday, in an interview in the London-based Al-Hayat, Dr. Ahmad Yousef, political adviser to Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh, said senior Hamas figures had held a secret meeting with advisers to Barack Obama in Gaza before the U.S. elections.
According to Yousef in the Al-Hayat interview, the Obama-Hamas talks were already ongoing during the U.S. election campaign: "We were in contact with a number of Obama's aides through the Internet, and later met with some of them in Gaza, but they advised us not to reveal this information as it may influence the elections or become manipulated by McCain's campaign." Yousef also claimed he personally had friendly relations with some of Obama's advisers and that Haniyeh will draft a congratulatory letter to Obama for his victory."
Why did McCain take Obama's terrorist associations off the table? He has a long history of meeting with extremist groups and listening to them, and afterwards, putting in place policies that they like, as evidenced by the campaign contributions and congratulatory letters he received. Look, I want to give him the benefit of the doubt, but when I hear that our President-elect is lying to the American public and yet having friendly meetings with America's enemies, I get a little upset.
