Palestinian Authority (aka PLO) President Mahmoud Abbas has reportedly said that he would not recognize Israel as a Jewish state. Abbas reportedly said that his position is identical to that of Arafat. If this report is accurate, it spells the premature end to an effort Mr. Obama and his State Department has supposedly been working on since early last summer.
Our question is this: in view of the fact that this issue has been a game ending issue dating back to before the time of the hapless Jimmy Carter, why did the Obama Administration schedule these talks before getting this matter resolved ? Could it be that he is trying to deflect attention from the August 21st beginning of Iran's nuclear future -- a day he saw coming from Day One of his administration without doing anything of import to stop it from happening ? After all, this conference was announced the same weekend he went on his 6th vacation, the same weekend Iran/Russia began charging their first nuclear reactor.
It is obvious that he has no plan for accomplishing whatever "foreign policy" he has in mind -- a policy he has yet to articulate in detail. You know, kind of like his jobs policy or his healthcare policy or his private sector, non-union partnership program, or his environmental program.
Understand that he and his party are the ones ruling this nation. They are the ones without ideas. Understand that "ideas" to our way of thinking includes the details for getting the job done.

There for a while, he had me worried. If he could have pulled off a Mid East peace treaty, it might have helped turn things around for him. I do think you are ritgt as to the timing and all.
