Bush Confident of Israeli-Palestinian Peace

#7  President Bush may be be coming down with the ghost of Clinton past. Particularly since Abbas has refused to negotiate any peace deal unless "right of return" is included. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

We need realists not dreamers.

#2  I, too, am confident there will be peace between Israel and the Palestinians. Someday. Hopefully before the Palestinians all have committed suicide -- in vain. Bush's timeline is hope and hype, as he well knows, but he is giving the Palestinians the minimum time necessary to accomplish their goals, should they choose to hold up their side of the bargain. Which they won't: they aren't yet ready to join the real world.

This I find a more interesting quote from the article. "Syria is a very weak country, and therefore it cannot be trusted. For now, Assad should wait; first peace between Israel and Palestine, and then we will see what should be done with Syria," Bush told Yedioth. Message sent, in the most insulting terms possible. I doubt Assad enjoyed receiving it.

#1  This must be where Warren got his optimism. I say build the fence. When it's completed and properly manned, surveilled, etc, then maybe the Paleos will have to learn how to make and keep deals. Does the time it will take to accomplish this fit with Bush's timeline in this article? Hey, who knows. I find this amazing - and have to say I doubt it is being reported accurately.
