TEL AVIV – A key Hamas official has confirmed reports from last week the terror group held meetings with "important Democrats."

Ahmed Yousuf, chief political advisor to Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh, told the Maannews Palestinian news website that Hamas officials met recently with high-ranking American figures, "especially members of the Democratic party."

Gee, and we just thought it was some crazy rumor. :roll:

Can't wait to hear the names. Has Pelosi been out of the country lately?
 
Well, one is reluctant to take a terrorist leader solely at his word.

But among those who would be likely to do such a thing would be Ted Kennedy, David Bonior, Jim McDermott, Dick Durbin . . . because they are some who have done very similar things in the past.

To say nothing of Democratic fossils like Jimmy Carter and Ramsey Clarke, who have historically found few enemies of the US they didn't want to cozy up to.

Link please.

If it's true than I say good show, it's about time for dialog, not confrontation, Jesse Jackson comes to mind, or even Barack. Let's talk... PEACE!

Ah. Secret conferences with sworn enemies of the UNITED STATES . . . not of Bush, or of his policies, but of the US and its people . . . and you cheer it.

You wonder why you have the reputation that you do? Weren't you whining about it not five minutes ago?
 
I wonder what exactly they were talking about A, B a link would be appreciated, if this can be confirmed by more sources then this is truly sad.
 
Unless there is a transcript of an official meeting, or the very least a mutual recognition that it occurred, from more than one party then I'm afraid this has to be written off a blatant propaganda. Has no-one heard of the principle of divide and conquer? Or are we simply assuming that Hamas has not?:roll:

WorldNetDaily: Hamas confirms meeting with group of Democrats

When are you liberal going to realize that you don't negotiate with terrorists?:roll:


Since they don't want to come forth with who these dims are, let's just wait and see who comes forward to deney OR who doesn't come forward to deney this report.

Terrorists are the biggest tattletails around when it comes to using American politicians to justify approval of their terrorists tactics.

Just a little piece from the link posted:

Last month, just prior to U.S. midterm elections, WND conducted a series of exclusive interviews in which prominent Middle East terrorist leaders said they hoped Americans would sweep the Democrats into power because of the party's position on withdrawing from Iraq – a move, the terrorists explained, that would ensure victory for the worldwide Islamic resistance.

The terrorists told WND an electoral win for the Democrats would prove to them Americans are "tired." They rejected statements from some prominent Democrats in the U.S. that a withdrawal from Iraq would end the insurgency, explaining an evacuation would prove resistance works and would compel jihadists to continue fighting until America is destroyed.

They said a withdrawal would also embolden their own terror groups to enhance "resistance" against Israel.


This is great.Exactly what I hope will NOT happen.
 
WorldNetDaily? ROTFLMAO!!!


Now, begs the question, Hamas met with a group of Democrats from... what country? :cool:


LOL... and loving it!

It hardly matters, considering you've already said that if it's true, you cheer it.

No, this is exactly what will happen.

Hmm... that's not a terribly helpful source. I would guess that the British contingent of these 'important Democrats' was George Galloway. Hardly a man likely to be deciding foreign policy anytime. For the French it could be their Socialist candidate Ms. Royal, she caused a storm of controversy there by, I think, not denying that she would be prepared to talk to Hamas. No that it matters, I'm not betting on her to beat Sarkozy.
 
What's even more funny is conservatives on this board have called Hamas, nothing but liars, but because some Hamas official says they met with democrats, the conservatives on this board believe them now.

What a bunch of hypocrits some of you conservatives are.

Well you lefites use CNN for a source......:confused:
 
Not me Navy, I'm not sure I'd label myself a 'lefty' but I certainly don't cite CNN. If I cite news it will usually be the BBC. What I meant when I said it wasn't terribly helpful a source was referring to the content of the Hamas statement, not the validity or journalistic integrity of your news source. Hamas just comes out and says something, doesn't mean a hell of a lot in the grand scheme of things. Unless they were to say they will acknowledge and accept Israel's existance, but that's not likely.
 
“Can't wait to hear the names. Has Pelosi been out of the country lately?”


Don’t believe she has, shes been remodeling her new office, hangin those new curtains.


Right on Hardshaw, good post !!!!!!!!!!




Your list is a good start. I am sure Jimmy Carter is involved somehow, he likes photo ops.


Kidrock says, “If it's true than I say good show, it's about time for dialog, not confrontation, Jesse Jackson comes to mind, or even Barack. Let's talk... PEACE!”


Dialogue? Or a marriage of the two? I knew it wouldn’t be long as the terrorists celebrated the Democrats victory. Gee I wonder why? :roll: Their plan continues with the Democrats help.

If Barack had no looks he wouldn’t be in the news.

Whether or not they are liars is irrelevavent. You don’t get in bed with terrorists. You don’t negotiate with them either. It doesn’t surprise me that the Democrats are talking to them. Most of them blame America for all their problems, now they will think we owe them something and they are making plans to give them retributions.

It doesn't surprise me that the neo-cons are still hanging on to President Bush and it won't be long before President Bush makes fools out of all you losers.

Mark my words, Bush will ''cut and run" when politically convenient only he will claim that he was never against dialog, never against a settlement, never against talking to Syria, Iraq, or whomever or whatever the hell it takes to bring our troops home safely and unharmed.

Naturally, you dittoheads will all nod heads in agreement and claim that it was the Democrats all along that wanted to send more troops to Iraq, that it was the Democrats who wanted to 'cut and run' when it was too dangerous a time for it, that it was the Democrats that encouraged President Bush to invade Iraq.

This will all occur no doubt oh, around the Spring of 2008.

Class dismissed!

Goodnight!

Another baseless attack since I didn't defend them. Unless you can show otherwise which we all know you can't.

Sure it is irrelevant, it is relevant to the accusations that you conservatives are making.

It is funny you believe Hamas when it suits your political agenda, but then disacard what they have to say when it doesn't. It is hypocritical.

Where'd you hear that, a Tom Clancy book? Rainbow Six, maybe?

Why not negotiate with them if it will save lives? I'm not saying that's what happened, but nothing's wrong with talking. Do you not believe in diplomacy?

Really, well you've found one that has never said that once on these boards, secondly I never said I believe it, but I don't exactly dismiss the whole thing either.I think we need more sources, but I'm sure you and some other people would fan it off as right-wing BS.
