JERUSALEM - On the eve of a planned meeting with former President Jimmy Carter, the isolated Hamas terrorist organization has expressed "hope" Sen. Barack Obama will win the presidential elections and "change" America's foreign policy.
"We like Mr. Obama, and we hope that he will win the elections," Ahmed Yousuf, Hamas' top political adviser in the Gaza Strip, said in an exclusive interview with WND and with the John Batchelor Show on WABC Radio in New York.
"I hope Mr. Obama and the Democrats will change the political discourse. ...I do believe [Obama] is like John Kennedy, a great man with a great principal (sic). And he has a vision to change America to make it in a position to lead the world community, but not with humiliation and arrogance," Yousuf said, speaking from Gaza.
Yousuf, the Hamas figure usually responsible for coordinating meetings with foreign officials, told WND
www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=61496 earlier that Carter's planned meeting this week with Hamas would help the terror organization "engage with the world community."
"Carter can achieve something no one else can. He is open-minded and has a very noble cause to come and meet with all people," said Yousuf."
Well, that confirms something I've been saying all along (let's glide past the obvious comment that Carter's open mind allowed his brain to escape from his head somewhere on the way to the North Korean nuclear weapons negotiations in the 1990s) -
Barack Obama = Jimmy Carter (plus fifty IQ points, apparently used for charm and plausibility).
Any questions?
