Say What?

U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on Sunday ruled out any American financial aid to a Hamas government in the Palestinian territories and said Washington wants Arab nations and others to cut off money as well.

"The United States is not prepared to fund an organization that advocates the destruction of Israel, that advocates violence and that refuses its obligations," under an international framework for eventual Mideast peace, Rice said.

Unless that government or organization is the Palestinian Authority. In terms of terrorist acts and a desire for Israel's annihilation, what is the difference between Hamas and the PLO? I'd love to hear her rationale, and I expect she'll elucidate around the same time that Madonna enters a nunnery.
