Barack Obama Plans to Talk to Hamas

 Through the whole Israel/Hamas conflict president-elect Obama has remained suspiciously quite. His excuse for not getting involved is that there can only be one president at a time. This excuse has not stopped him from being actively involved in the economic crisis and upcoming stimulus package however.

 The president-elect appears to be ducking a very controversial issue in the Israel/Hamas conflict for fear of offending wither side. But then last week Al-Qaida accused Barack Obama of not doing anything to stop Israel’s attack on the Gaza strip, and now everything has changed.

 Today it has been learned that the president-elect is set to open up a dialog with Hamas. The president-elect is going to open up talks with a terrorist organisation. All it took was a little chiding from another terrorist organisation and Barack Obama seemingly overnight has decided to talk to the enemy of one of America’s allies.

 If this is any indication of how Barack Obama plans to deal with threats from enemies than we are in for a long four years. This is no surprise as Barack Obama said that he would meet with terrorists without precondition during the campaign. He is finally keeping one of his campaign promises, it’s just the wrong one.

 And now Hillary Clinton who mocked Obama consistently over the issue of talking to terrorists will have to do the president’s bidding.

 We now know why Barack Obama has been silent on the Israel/Hamas conflict, he intends to alienate one of out allies.

 In my first post on the issue of Obama’s silence over the conflict I wrote that we needed to know what side Barack Obama was on. Now we know.

 The new question is, after Obama is done caving into Al Qaida by holding talks with Hamas, who’s next?
