Icon9 Barack Obama sacks adviser over talks with Hamas
Why he can never, ever win a general election for president:

Quote:
One of Barack Obama’s Middle East policy advisers disclosed yesterday that he had held meetings with the militant Palestinian group Hamas – prompting the likely Democratic nominee to sever all links with him.

Robert Malley told The Times that he had been in regular contact with Hamas, which controls Gaza and is listed by the US State Department as a terrorist organisation. Such talks, he stressed, were related to his work for a conflict resolution think-tank and had no connection with his position on Mr Obama’s Middle East advisory council.

“I’ve never hidden the fact that in my job with the International Crisis Group I meet all kinds of people,” he added.

Ben LaBolt, a spokesman for Mr Obama, responded swiftly: “Rob Malley has, like hundreds of other experts, provided informal advice to the campaign in the past. He has no formal role in the campaign and he will not play any role in the future.” The rapid departure of Mr Malley followed 48 hours of heated clashes between John McCain, the Republican nominee-elect, and Mr Obama over Middle East policy.

Maybe he doesn't want the American people to realize that Hamas has endorsed him as their candidate of choice.

Any intelligent person knew this would be coming from the Republicans. Just like Kerry "Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda want Kerry to get elected". Remember that one?

O.k. here we go. The current goal of this Administration is to get some sort of Israel and Palestinian peace compromise! If Hamas; who were elected by the population are also going to be a part of this compromise, then this is a mute subject. Even if it’s said "We won’t deal with Hamas" The truth is someone who will represent Hamas will have to be part of the process and will be there for the meetings.

Hey, Hamas said it first, not Republicans.

Yes... even having that man associated with him means its worthy of ridicule.

Wrong.
There are negotiations and Hamas is not involved.


Obama and his supporter have no problem negotiating with Hamas, Iran, al Qaeda, you name it.
