This is great. The Bush administration has stated that GWB will not deal with any officials Hamas gets elected.
WASHINGTON – The Bush administration, rebuffing the suggestions of some European officials, will continue to refuse to have contact with the militant group Hamas and its leaders even if some of those leaders win elections in Palestinian areas, a senior administration official said Monday.
The official said that a ban on contacts with Hamas was required because the group was listed by the United States as a terrorist organization, and that the United States would not follow a practice of some European countries of engaging with the group’s political wing even if it also had an armed wing carrying out attacks on civilians.
“The president has said that Hamas is on the terrorism list, and it’s there for a reason,” said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity. “We don’t recognize that you have changed your behavior just because a group is running candidates as well as suicide bombers.”
This is exactly correct. Nations run by killers—who incidentally are likely to threaten to harm those who would vote against them— are dangerous to free people everywhere.
Naturally—okay, I’m shocked by this even though it seems par for the course by this time—the NY Times appears to disapprove. Here’s their headline: “U.S. to Shun Hamas Members, Even if Democratically Elected.”
Question: Why should the NY Times show such support for terrorists?
Answer: Because over the decades the goal of MSM has become, to attack the U.S. government, regardless of the facts, and regardless of what is good for the American people.
