Déjà Vu All Over Again: Mashaal Hopes Obama Cancels Conditions for Talks with Hamas


Al-Manar

"11/06/2009 One week after US President Barack Obama's address in Cairo, Hamas officially responds in detail, with praises alongside several complaints.

Hamas politburo chief Khaled Mashaal said in an interview published Thursday by the London-based al-Sharq al-Awsat newspaper, "Obama addressed Hamas with a new language, which we hope will be translated into views and a policy on the ground. We hope he will cancel the conditions set for holding talks with Hamas."

The Hamas politburo chief also said that Obama's speech included "a new and wise language, but the test is not in the language but in its translation to decisions on the ground."
"Obama said he would turn over a new leaf in the region and launch a dialogue with the Iranians and the Syrians without preconditions. So why is he setting condition for Hamas?"........"

COMMENT: Beg....Beg....Beg....

Let me explain it to you Mr. politburo chief: Iran has clout and is a regional power, so Obama has to deal with it. Also, Iran (under the right conditions) has been beneficial to the Empire, as in Iraq and Afghanistan, so Obama is trying to put the ayatollahs to good use. Syria has some influence (especially in Lebanon) and Obama is trying to divide and conquer, by moving Syria away from Iran.

But Hamas, Mr. politburo chief, regardless of how much "moderation" it shows, and how much begging it does, has no clout, and is safely caged in the Gaza concentration camp while Dayton destroys any presence it has left in the West Bank.

By removing Iran and Syria from the equation, Hamas will be cut off and the plan is to destroy it or at least domesticate it, just as Arafat was domesticated and finally destroyed.

You got that now, Mr. politburo chief?
