From yesterday's press briefing.
Q Does the U.S. have any contact with anyone in Hamas? Is there any pressure, direct pressure the U.S. can put on?

MS. PERINO: As you know, we've had a policy of not talking with Hamas.

  • My kids the same type of "diplomacy" when we're having a disagreement. Only we don't call it "diplomacy." We call it pouting. About as affective.

  • The ridiculous thing in this "strategy" is that if Hamas was willing to give it all up for a box of jelly donuts, we wouldn't know.

  • Well the Israelis say they want concrete action i.e Hamas have to stop the guys firing the rockets. Not going to happen. Hamas have no reason to help Israel. And so on. Round and round it goes.

  • Yeah, but not having open channels misses any opportunity that might come along.

  • I think this Qasam rocket thing is a false flag. It's pretty well documented that IDF soldiers would cross into Lebanon with Druze uniforms on and create problems during the Lebanese civil war. I'm pretty sure this Qasam thing is along the same lines.

  • Mike, the channels would open fast enough. The US/Israel are waiting for Hamas to say uncle.

  • Anon 1. I could entertain the possibility that maybe one time or another that might be true, But Hamas claims the firings, they occasionally publish video of the firings.....


    Anon 2, Okay, so I overstated.
