[Pen-l] Obama on Carter

[ken hanly <northsunm@xxxxxxxxx>]

 Obama seems to take the standard line. No talking
with terrorists. By now everyone seems to have
forgotten that Hamas was elected! Will Washington
recognise the new Nepalese government filled with
terrorist Maoists?

PHILADELPHIA - U.S. Senator Barack Obama on Wednesday
criticized former U.S. President Jimmy Carter for
meeting with leaders of the Islamic terrorist group
Hamas as he tried to reassure Jewish voters that his
presidential candidacy is not a threat to them or U.S.
support for Israel. 

The Democratic presidential candidate's comments, made
to a group of Jewish leaders in Philadelphia, were his
first on Carter's controversial meeting scheduled this
week in Egypt. 

Republican presidential nominee-in-waiting John McCain
called on Obama to repudiate Carter in a speech
Monday.

Obama told the Jewish group he had a fundamental
disagreement with Carter, who was rebuffed by Israeli
leaders during a peace mission to the Middle East this
week. 

"We must not negotiate with a terrorist group intent
on Israel's destruction," Obama said. 

"We should only sit down with Hamas if they renounce
terrorism, recognize Israel's right to exist, and
abide by past agreements," he added.
