KDH EXCLUSIVE!! We have “the note” passed to Kerry in Gaza
Warning we shovel a lot of “shtuff” on Fridays in this joint!
I know you all think we are only hacks. Well, we have decided here at KDH to cause a stir in the blogosphere by breaking our very first big story. President Obama has said he will likely share the letter with the people of the US on February 27th. Well, we have a scanned copy of the note here and want to share it with our readers.
The Palestinian group Hamas has sent a letter
addressed to the US president via a US politician visiting Gaza, a
senior UN official has said.Excerpt
BBC
UN relief agency chief Karen Abu Zayd told the BBC the letter had been received by the UN and passed on.
She did not say if Senator John Kerry had accepted it, and there were no details about the letter’s contents.
The US views Hamas, which seized control of Gaza in 2007, as a terrorist organisation and will not deal with it.
A former presidential candidate, Mr Kerry was
visiting Gaza with US congressmen Brian Baird and Keith Ellison in the
first such visit to the Hamas-run Strip since 2007.The men are not likely to meet Hamas.
Ok, Ok, enough of that stuff. Here’s the front of the note and it’s contents:

As the news flash popped up on my reader, I knew the pain and still willingly took the hook.
I wonder if Hank will get any work done today?
Semper Fi, Hank

I couldn’t help myself. I do have to admit that I had a very hard time deciding if I should make the note look like a 5th grade “I like U do U like me 2″ note of if I should have staged Hamas asking Obama for a bailout! Hmm.. maybe next Friday!
