Hamas Leader Praises Obama

Great.

The political leader of Hamas, Khaled Meshaal, has credited US President Barack Obama with using a “new language” for the Middle East.

Speaking to an Italian newspaper Mr Meshaal also said that an official opening to his Palestinian Islamist movement was only “a matter of time”.

The interview was published three days after President Obama called for a “new beginning” in relations with Iran.

Generally speaking, when your traditional allies are ticked off at you and terrorists are praising you, it’s not a good sign.
