Haniyeh: US trying to 'rearrange' Middle East
2006-10-05
Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh of Hamas on Wednesday accused the US of trying to "rearrange" the Middle East to suit American and Israeli interests.
“She cares only to rearrange this region and to rearrange the Palestinian scene in a way that serves the American and Israeli agenda.”
Haniyeh spoke as US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was in the region for talks with the moderate Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. While the US supports Abbas as a legitimate negotiating partner, it considers Hamas a terrorist group, and Rice was not meeting with any of its members. "She cares only to rearrange this region and to rearrange the Palestinian scene in a way that serves the American and Israeli agenda," Haniyeh said.

Rearrangement beats extermination doesn't it?

#2  Picked right up on that, didn't he. What was his first clue? The invasion of a large Middle East country to oust its regime? The years long refusal to play footsie with Arafat even though most of the world had been pretending for decades that he wasn't a terrorist? Or was it the complete isolation of the PA when Hamas took over and refused to change its agenda of violence and the destruction of Israel?

Wouldn't pushing Israel into the sea also constitute a rearrangement of Middle Eastern affairs? or is Hamas now the protector of the status quo? Haniyeh must be scandalized that the US Sec. of State would seek to serve US interests, but his real problem is that so few people are listening to the standard whining these days. Tough time to be an unapologetic supporter of terrorism.

Nope, just his face.
