Texsox Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Administration says it wants Hamas "put out of business" WASHINGTON (AP) — Responding to Israel's slaying of a Hamas leader, the Bush administration denounced the Palestinian group on Monday as a terrorist organization that should be "put out of business." Over time the Palestinian government should shut down Hamas and provide Palestinians with the social services that Hamas offers them, spokesman Richard Boucher said. Taking the approach it usually does when Israel strikes, the State Department said Israel had a right to defend itself but also should consider the consequences of its actions.
