Freshman Representative Allen West (R-Fl) has joined House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairwoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fl) in condemning the official flying of a PLO flag in Washington.
The office of Rep. West said that the raising of the flag is "an attempt to legitimize an organization with a known history of terrorist actions," in a written news release reported in the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.
West's office noted: "By allowing this flag to be flown, the United States is extending a diplomatic right that we refrain from offering to even our own allies, like Taiwan. This action is a diplomatic slap in the face of our greatest of allies, Israel."
Both West and another Republican South Florida congressperson, Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, Chairwoman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, have condemned the flag-raising. The two are asking President Barack Obama and the State Department's Office of Foreign Missions to take back the permission that was given to the PLO to raise it.

I'm liking this guy more and more. Maybe he has a heart for the Jewish people.

Officially flying the flags of terror outfits is just the beginning, Caliph Hussein actually wants it flying over the White House.
If that's true, I have a great place to stick it!

The Osama Blackhouse loves muslims and hates the free world.
