Of Course: Obama Supported The 2006 Hamas Election, Biden Lied
Here's what the president said when we said no. He insisted on elections on the West Bank, when I said, and others said, and Barack Obama said, "Big mistake. Hamas will win. You'll legitimize them." What happened? Hamas won. When we kicked -- along with France, we kicked Hezbollah out of Lebanon, I said and Barack said, "Move NATO forces in there. Fill the vacuum, because if you don't know -- if you don't, Hezbollah will control it."
But During His 2006 Trip To The Middle East, Obama Met With Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas And Said The Election Represented An "Opportunity...To Consolidate Behind A Single Government." "Illinois Senator Barack Obama's journey to the Middle East took him to the West Bank Thursday for a meeting with the man elected to replace Yasser Arafat.
Whatever. Obama also claimed to support an undivided Jerusalem for a day, until he changed his mind. In fairness to him: he probably does support an undivided Jerusalem and he probably did oppose the 2006 election, but only in the same universe in which he called for NATO troops to be deployed after Hezbollah got kicked out of Lebanon. That isn't this universe, but I'm sure it's a very nice place to live.
