Obama: Hamas and Hezbollah have “legitimate claims”

9:19 am on May 16, 2008 by Infidelesto

It astonishes me that this is the future of the democrat party…

Obama said this in a NY Times interview today:

NY Times

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.”

I’d like to know what “legitimate claims” Hamas and Hezbollah have?

Just how exactly does Obama plan to address these “legitimate claims”?

    If Obama is elected, God forbid, the Islamists are going to walk all over him. They see it, they know it, and that’s why they are campaigning for him.
