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.
(Snip)
Randy Scheunemann, Mr McCain’s foreign policy chief, suggested that Mr Malley was part of an emerging pattern in which other advisers had been repudiated after throwing confusion over policies on trade and Iraq. “Perhaps because of his inexperience Senator Obama surrounds himself with advisers that contradict his stated policies,” he said.

McCAIN- BECAUSE THE ALTERNATIVE IS UNTHINKABLE
Oh, “sacks.” I thought this was another Larry Sinclair story.
Too bad they didn't take tea with Polonius
I’d love to see it. You can just copy and paste the link on FR. People can click on the link to see the video. Thanks.
The scary thing is, I think some liberals do have a clue, and they don’t care because they agree. You know, I saw a graphic youtube film today on the people jumping out of the towers on 9/11.

I can’t stand the thought of anything like that ever happening again. I don’t trust Obama to protect this country.
yeesh that book sounds grim.
Okay, I really mean it, g’night. Almost time for “rise and shine”.
If it involves your soul selling PC idea of putting in your place someone worse than yourself, no, it’s not treason, it’s being “generous”.
Also the MO of dems is to get a VP that is even more extreme, as a stop gap measure to deter assassinations like Kennedy’s or to motivate them if the extremists find it appropriate.
We don’t prosecute people for treason for talking with our enemies.
We don’t prosecute them for attacking our military and CIC, making seditious movies, etc.
This isn’t like it was in WWII.
I’m not defending it, I’m doing like Rush Limbaugh and saying “It is what it is”.
No amount of publicity on FNC or anywhere else will “force Bush’s hand” as you put it. Force his hand to do..............what?????
What has happened through many, many years is that the only means we have left to accomplish anything against our domestic enemies is to vote their party out of office, to put out tv and internet ads against them, to boycott their seditious movies, etc. etc.
It would be helpful if you could bring yourself to deal with the world as it is instead of as if it were still WWII.
Try this: Imagine if suddenly President Bush would start acting as your puppet and all you had to do is pull a few strings to get your way. So Bush has all the Dems like TK and Murtha and the whole raft of them including Hillary and Obama who told al quaida and Iran that we’ll be cutting and running from Iraq, and Jimmy Carter who met with Hamas and the list goes on - ALL rounded up and put in jail and charged with treason for which the penalty upon conviction is death.
You take the story from there. You write it. What do you think would happen?
Truly, the problem isn’t Bush. The problem is, what happened to America? People voted and put these traitors into office. Or they support them in many other ways and a large majority disapproves of President Bush while these clowns are very popular in their areas.
This Adam Gadan character, the American who converted to Islam and became the chief anti-American propagandist for al qaida, who works side by side with bin laden and Zawahiri...this guy is probably the prime example of how far you have to take something that goes against your own country in order to get charged with treason.
That’s the real world. Something happened to America, way way WAY before Bush, but it’s much worse under him because he is so hated by the enemy within and by many ordinary Americans.
But again, he’s not the problem. America and Americans are the problem.
Is there anyone Obama associates with who isn’t a radical?
Obama’s strongest beliefs—his allegiance to leftist radicalism and terrorism—are those he works hardest to conceal.
If he were a man he would just come out and admit them.
I thought that privately sharing tea-time with the bad guys was illegal.
If it were Nancy Pelooser would be in jail.
Jimmy Carter too...
And btw, isn't it bad form for the women to show their knees in Arabic countries? It seems the ethically challenged Nancy was hiding in the bushes during the Protocol 101 class...
(I'm not saying Nancy had ethical lapses but she sure doesn't recognize it in her own party).
Thanks for posting an excellent summary of the serial liar, Hussein Obama.
“Nice. A paper in London which is so far away that they can’t see West Virginia because the curvature of the Earth gets in the way covers the story, but the MSM in our own country will ignore it.”
My wife and I went to England and then London for 2 weeks in 1997, and their major newspapers were full of the treason and bs the Clintoons were doing and had done.
I bought an extra small suitcase to bring home those papers to show conservatives and the other side.
That was before the internet and sites like FR brought the realities of the libs to our homes on a daily basis.
If Obama is elected I’ll take it as a sign that God wants the 5 conservatives left in the State Department fired!
Certainly seems that “Vote Traitor for President” is the agenda that the Dems have been running with now for years! Nuancing their way back to power! Not sure how they see the end result being beneficial (except in a macabre -French-Nazi sympathiser way)...Arafat also is a Nazi sympathizer. ... He escaped from French detention in 1946. He then traveled to Egypt where he lived until 1974. ...
Right you are! This Election ain’t gonna be yo Daddy’s Election! Essentially, it’s the communists (you say socialists, I say communists...who ever heard of the ‘socialist manifesto’?), La Raza, and Islam vs. ‘every one else’(also known as infidel gringos). If ‘every one else’ forgets to vote, 2009 begins a new page in America’s history!
...And Abraham said “But what if there are only 5 conservatives found in the Government. Would you spare it for them ? And God said yes”.......
DON’T LOOK BACK :-)
LOL.
