After all, they point out, it was the Bush administration that "twisted the arm" of Israeli and Palestinian leaders against considerable resistance and skepticism on their part to allow the Palestinian militant group Hamas to run in 2006 Palestinian elections that Hamas won -- an outcome to its policy interventions that the Bush administration once again failed to anticipate.

If the Zionists had their way then Hamas would have been allowed run, avoiding the possibility of their winning. This from the 'jewel of democracy' of the M-East!!!! Bush might have been stubbornly stupid - nothing new - but at least there was the façade of democracy about his way. Not so with the 'democratic' Zionists!

Major stated categorically in parliament - the equal of swear under oath - that his government was NOT in talks with the IRA. Now its admitted with a type of glee that he lied - the the sake of peace.

Blair the same. He'd never have succeeded without the US big stick wheeled for the first time by Clinton. Up to then it was only a British problem. Suez was another example of US stick. Used well - more powerful than the whole US army.

Turns out that just about everyone was in secret talks with the IRA. They all want a share of glory now with peace so readily admit lying, for our good, of course.

The real problem that the US has with Hamas is that they are incorruptible. The US cannot deal with incorruptibles. Incorruptible Latin leaders were dispatched by CIA assassins. The US doesn't do incorruptibles. How the map of the world would change if US money like NED's wasn't buying votes in elections - supposedly totally illegal and treacherous in reverse - except if a Zionist lobby.
