Hamas ready to discuss its rights and options with Obama

[QUOTE]Khaled Mashaal, the group's leader, said that Hamas is ready for dialogue with Obama and his new administration "on the basis that the American administration respects our rights and our options." [/QUOTE]

This wouldn't happen until after Jan. 20th I assume.

You're asking because you don't know?

I think they are always ready but don't usually push for it because the United States does not negotiate with terrorists.

I believe President Nixon had more than just [I]Dialog [/I]with China and President Bush restored diplomatic relations with Libya.

And Hamas' rights are what? Total eradication of Jews and occupation of their land?

Really? Because I figured he would have to meet with them first before he named them Secretary of Education.

Of course HE is not. But I assure you he will send some high ranking diplomats to begin the discussion.
