U.S. TO SEND AID TO HAMAS AFTER ALL

Envoy: U.S. Will Continue to Aid Palestinians Despite Hamas Win

RAMALLAH, West Bank — The United States will continue sending humanitarian aid to the Palestinian people even after a Hamas government is formed, a senior U.S. envoy told Palestinian leaders during the first high-level meeting between the two sides since Hamas' election victory. State Department envoy David Welch said the U.S. continues "to be devoted to the humanitarian needs of the Palestinian people and we shall remain so."

OF COURSE, EVERY DOLLAR THE U.S. SPENDS ON "HUMANITARIAN AID" IS ONE FEWER DOLLAR HAMAS MUST SPEND ON TAKING CARE OF THE NEEDS OF THE PALESTINIANS AND ONE MORE DOLLAR THEY CAN SPEND ON TERROR.
