Update:
Breibart is channeling ol' haystack this morning, informing us that the "Carter-Hamas meeting achieved nothing."
Funny, I think I suggested as much 24 hours prior...seems the Palestinians who WANT to find a peaceful solution and live agree with my analysis:
Last week's meeting between former US president Jimmy Carter and the exiled leader of Hamas militants did not produce any results, Palestinian foreign minister Riyad al-Malki said here Wednesday.
"President Carter came to the region thinking he could achieve something. Unfortunately president Carter left without anything concrete," he told a conference in the Spanish capital.
"The only thing he achieved was permission on the part of Khaled Meshaal of Hamas to deliver a letter from a detained Israeli soldier to his family. Nothing else," he said.
"Hamas offered nothing to president Carter. They reiterated the same positions. There was no change on the part of Hamas," Malki added.
Yeah, Jimmy-we know-they were duly elected and therefore they must be respected. We know we're not supposed to convolute that with whether blowing themselves and their neighbors up to actually GET those votes ever really had anything to do with it.
