A top economic adviser to US President Barack Obama, along with nine former senior officials, is calling on the American leader to launch a dialogue with Hamas, the The Boston Globe reported Saturday.
SLIDESHOW: Israel & Region | World According to the report, Paul A. Volcker and other members of the bipartisan group - including former national security advisers Brent Scowcroft and Zbigniew Brzezinski - have sent a letter to Obama urging him to engage Hamas in order to coax the terrorist organization to disarm and join a peaceful Palestinian unity government.

Yeah Jonny, you first...
The List, ping
Teleprompter to 0bama: talk to Hamas.
Cart to horse: go this way.

Every current and former US Official pushing this should be immediately put under investigation for money laundering and the LOBBYING DISCLOSURE ACT.
Agreed. The amount of corruption is obvious.
Sure! That's the ticket. Why didn't we think of this before..
I don’t see why not, negotiating with terrorists has always worked in the past.
This will be the first step to signing a treaty known as "TAFTA", the Terrorist Allied Free Trade Act, so that Obama can send Hamas a stimulus check to boost that economy as well.
Follow the money. This is horrendous advice by advisors with bad advice. World terrorism must be defeated soundly by all means possible. Negotiation and talking have never gotten anywhere, none, nada, with any of the groups calling themselves “Palestinians.” Netanyahu naively gave away the store under the Oslo Accords and received in return more terrorism than ever. Let’s hope he learned his lesson and will be more realistic and sticks to what he knows: that there is no negotiating with terrorists. The Palestinian Authority is every bit as much a terrorist group as Hamas, Hezbollah, and Fatah.
The so-called academic intellectual, Brzezinski was in bed with terrorists his whole adult life, a flaming apologist for terrorists going back forty years. Facts should have discredited Brzezinski long ago, but the NY Times always loved him. Obama is bringing back the worst that ever was in U.S. foreign policy advising. His ilk find fault only with the U.S. Follow the money.
As a lead in to the discussions, why not mention how Barry Soetoro converted from Islam to Christianity? You know, sort of a conversation starter. Just to get the ball rolling.
Naivete...thy name is Obama.
First we’re going to make friends w/Cuba and Russia, and on that news they’re talking of placing bombers in Cuba.
Then we’re going to talk to Iran and the moderate Taleban, LOL.
And now we need a dialogue with Hamas.
Unbelievable!
Brent “New Communist World Order” Scowcroft and Zbigniew “I Surrender” Brzezinski, two of the biggest jackasses to ever infest DC.
He did? What proof do you have of that conversion: baptism certificate, statements, etc?
Translation...
The world knows our presentident is weak and has not the will to stand up and tell others what we expcect in terms of behavior that is condusive to keeping the peace as we see it.
That’s all the goons on the other side of the Atlantic and/or Pacific understans so show them....
I’m no tough guy, but man, you have to have the intestinal fortitude to at least represent that you have at least a straight flush when the other guy has four of a kind already...It’s not about actual action, it’s about the will to do what the other guy won’t. You show that, you keep the peace, period.

I always thought just when the Lefties called Freepers terrorists it was an insult. Maybe it just means they want to negotiate with us and give us foreign aid.
Talk to terrorist HAMAS, talk nicely to the violent killer Taliban, give murderous Palestinians nearly a BILLION dollars (while we go without) and put a visit to islamic iran on the near term agenda (prior to the Mullah “elections” in June/July) is the icing on the cake of Oba-Hussein-Khomeini’s Communist coup which the islamists helped come about with active support and money.
Oba-Hussein has not only given billions as payback to his leftists but is now selling America to the jihadists.

I wonder if we can survive the next four years.
The US has talked to and helped lots of terrorist leaders in the past and has backstabbed millions of innocent people around the world. It’s called realpolitik/ pandering to international business.
Why change now???
Arab Appeasement Inc.
Apparently, the only ones who know that there is no such thing as a peaceful Palestinian unity government are Hamas and the Palestinian Authority. "Moderate" President Abbas, whose Fatah organization includes the Al-Aksa Martyrs, responsible for most of the terrorist attacks in the West Bank, wants Israel to cease to exist as a Jewish state every bit as much as does Haniyeh of Hamas. Abbas had nothing but praise and admiration for the Palestinian psychopath who broke into the Merkaz HaRav Yeshiva in Israel and murdered eight students, calling him a "Hero of the Palestinian cause."
That's the Emm-Eff to whom we've sent all of our money, as well as thousands of advanced M-16 assault rifles and millions of rounds of ammunition that his Al-Aksa thugs received and used against israel.
Meanwhile, despite the sell-out of Israel by Chillary (you DID know that she was anti-Israel all along, right?), and the latest Jimmy Carter kumbaya, Mamas has repeated its hardline stance that it will NEVER recognize Israel's right to exist.
After all that ZERO has done, I wonder what the folks in the GOP would say now. Y'know, the ones who claimed that McCain would have been as bad as Obama?
Hamas wasn't elected to do that. Who are they going to listen to their constituents or 0bobblehead?
They'd probably say he can't be trusted either.
A top economic adviser... Paul A. Volcker and other members of the bipartisan group -- including former national security advisers Brent Scowcroft and Zbigniew Brzezinski -- have sent a letter to Obama urging him to engage Hamas in order to coax the terrorist organization to disarm and join a peaceful Palestinian unity government.Thanks FARS.
Chillery-Hitlery has Al-Qaeda linked Huma Abedin as her personal assistant (reportedly in every way) so little wonder.
Chillery-Hitlery received huge Arab sources amounts for her campaign, Bill Klintoon receives huge remuneration from the SAudis and other Arabs as donations to his library and for huge speaking fees. AND THE MAN AT THe TOP Oba-Hussein-Khomeini is totally pro-his Arab fund sources and islamic iran ones.
No room for Israel in that scenario
On the Pres. Hussein of Kenya COLB what you so rightly indicate will come out once the case gets heard. AntiMullah has posted Orly Taitz’ phone and fax numbers and her Email. You may want to share your detailed information with her.
Just do a search for Orly or Taitz on that site.
Orlys got my goods
Thanks for the ping!
Thanks FARS, I was hoping something was still moving on the COLB
What the hell is this country coming to: "coaxing" islamofascist terrorists!
Killing them is the only way to deal with them!
God save us!
