Hamas: We Met With a US Democratic Party Delegation
2006-12-07
(IsraelNN.com) Unnamed sources in the Islamist Hamas terror organization, currently holding power in the Palestinian Authority, said today that a Hamas delegation met with senior members of the American Democratic party. According to the Hamas sources, the meeting took place in a third party country that is unwilling to be identified at this stage.

Hamas spokespersons have said that the Democratic party victory in the recent US mid-term congressional elections indicate a change in the US policy towards the Hamas-led PA.

Seems like this should be bigger news than it is. Anyone seen any other references to this story anywhere?

#9  Mike, I saw it in yesterday's Seattle fish wrapper. Sorry cannot remember which one, but they all smell the same; and the fish oil only improves it.

#8  No big shot elected Dems have visited the middle east lately.

Unless the third country was Canada, this is either total BS or Hamas met with some out of office folk and doesn't realize it.

#6  This is not precedent setting. Think back just a few years ago, we had Donks jetting over to Iraq to cozy up to Saddam and tell him everything is going to be all right. We also had a couple of Donks run down to Nicaragua to let the Sandistas know they had friends in D.C. And if memory serves me right there was a Donk Delegation that visited East Germany just before the wall came down. WAIT I SEE A PATTERN HERE! Now that the Dhimis have visited Hamass it about time for them to go bye bye! Works for me.

#5  Seafarious, no reason why you can't be right on both counts.

#4  I would like some actual names. Hamas doesn't strike me as particularly trustworthy... maybe they're just trying tspook the Administration into coughing up more concessions.

Or mebbe the Dims are slimy weasels, it's a tough call.

#2  Treason, pure and simple. The republicans should hammer on this like a railroad spike.
