Obama: Hamas, Hizballah have "legitimate claims"


Really? What are they?

From "Obama Admires Bush," by David Brooks in the New York Times, May 16 (thanks to Infidels Are Cool):

The U.S. needs a foreign policy that “looks at the root causes of problems and dangers.” Obama compared Hezbollah to Hamas. Both need to be compelled to understand that “they’re going down a blind alley with violence that weakens their legitimate claims.” He knows these movements aren’t going away anytime soon (“Those missiles aren’t going to dissolve”), but “if they decide to shift, we’re going to recognize that. That’s an evolution that should be recognized.”

Good luck with that.

McCain to Obama: "It is reckless, it is reckless to suggest that unconditional meetings will advance our interests"


John McCain scores Barack Obama for saying he'd meet with the Thug-In-Chief. From LGF:

I have some news for Senator Obama: talking, not even with soaring rhetoric, (unconditional)... in unconditional meetings with a man who calls Israel a “stinking corpse,” and arms terrorists who kill Americans, will not convince Iran to give up its nuclear programs.

It is reckless, it is reckless to suggest that unconditional meetings will advance our interests.

You know, it would be a wonderful thing if we lived in a world where we don’t have enemies. But that’s not the world we live in. And until Senator Obama understands that reality, the American people have every reason to doubt whether he has the strength, judgment, and determination to keep us safe.
