Israel-Palestine-Jordan
US will try to close Israeli-Palestinian peace deal by 2009
2007-11-22
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Wednesday the United States will try to close a peace deal between Israel and the Palestinians before President George W. Bush's term ends in January 2009, but she cautioned there is no guarantee of success.
Don't know about the rest of Israelis---but me, I'm full of gratitude to President George W. Bush, and Ms Dr Secretary Condoleezza Rice
Rice said Israeli and Palestinian leaders have pledged to work for a deal setting up an independent Palestinian state before President George W. Bush leaves office. "We all know how long that is - it's about a year," Rice told reporters. "That's what we will try to do."

Rice said success is not guaranteed during that period.

#6  George wants his "Legacy", so he's willing to screw Israel and everyone else to get it, just like Jimmy Carter.

Word, 'Spook. I can think of few worse embarrassments than to have a legacy like Carter's. Bush seems bound and determined to have his own surgically attached albatross.

#5  OS---right on! GWB and Condi are looking for a legacy. And what a poor choice. The Paleos have burned and made fools of administrations for decades now. Only a fool plays this game. It makes me gag, literally.

#3  Didn't the fortunteller mention that the CIA, the MSM, and the Dimmis would all work together to destroy his policy?

#2  "Of all the disappointments in the last few years, none matches the dizzying fall of Dubya from his sensible and gutsy Rose Garden appearance with Sharon back in '03 to the present state of neo-Clintonian MidEast "peace processing". OK, the North Korea fiasco comes close."

If a fortuneteller had told me, after Bush's "Axis of Evil" speech (the 2002 SOTU Address) that nearly six years later the Mad Mullahs in Iran, Krazy Kimmie in North Korea, and the Chinless Pencilneck in Syria would ALL still be in power, I think I would have exploded.

#1  Oh Lord of Hosts on a pogo stick, Condi, what the hell do you think you're doing? Of all the disappointments in the last few years, none matches the dizzying fall of Dubya from his sensible and gutsy Rose Garden appearance with Sharon back in '03 to the present state of neo-Clintonian MidEast "peace processing". OK, the North Korea fiasco comes close.

Mr. President, please retire the Jimmy Carter impersonation - permanently - and stick to the Harry Truman shtick you did so convincingly for several years - pretty please?
