Don't listen to Scowcroft.....

If Obama does decide to talk to Hamas, he'll be disappointed - like Hezbollah, they will never recognize Israel....

A top economic adviser to US President Barack Obama, along with nine former senior officials, is calling on the American leader to launch a dialogue with Hamas, the The Boston Globe reported Saturday.

According to the report, Paul A. Volcker and other members of the bipartisan group - including former national security advisers Brent Scowcroft and Zbigniew Brzezinski - have sent a letter to Obama urging him to engage Hamas in order to coax the terrorist organization to disarm and join a peaceful Palestinian unity government.

The letter was reportedly handed to Obama days before he took office.

Another member of the group, US/Middle East Project President Henry Siegman, said the White House has promised to allow the group to make its case before Obama.

"I see no reason not to talk to Hamas," Scowcroft said.

Of course, Scowcroft was one of the guys who convinced George Bush not to go on to Baghdad during the first Iraq War....
