"Grant Hamas the freedom to fail."

I`m sure you thought this was a great line to use when you thought of it, Bradley, but - let`s be honest here - it doesn`t actually mean anything, in the context of a "chat" with the new US president.

It suggests that Barack Obama might actually take steps to strengthen or protect Hamas in the event of it "failing". Clearly this is a nonsense.

Some "great lines" turn out to be not so great in the cold light of day.
