Quote #110

Senator McCain has another problem to deal with regarding his attacks on Obama, namely that he, John McCain, has supported U.S. engagement with both Hamas and Syria... . When Bush's Secretary of State Colin Powell met with Syrian President Bashar Assad in 2003, McCain said Assad was sponsoring and harboring terrorists and sending Syrians to fight Americans in Iraq. And McCain said, quote, 'It's very appropriate that Colin Powell is going to Syria.' And when Newt Gingrich criticized the U.S. engaging in diplomacy with a terrorist-supporting dictator, McCain implied that Newt Gingrich needed therapy. For the record, Barack Obama does not support negotiations with Hamas.
