I seriously do not understand what's up with this administration. It certainly appears to be a deathwish: http://www.nysun.com/article/56899
How can there be serious thought of approaching Hamas? They are people who have demonstrated their willingness to kill indiscriminately. They seek the destruction and elimination of Israel. They deliberately blow up innocent women and children. It would be like capturing a mass murderer and saying all is forgiven if you just do not kill again.
The administration reverted to GW's roots regarding amnesty, now it appears he's picking up the threads regarding the war. There was a time I thought there was a new sense of clarity, I was wrong.
