"With regard to playing a less partisan role in the Palestinian-Israeli dispute, such a shift would simply be a return to President Bush's initial posture toward this intractable conflict."
Gee. What a lot of completely inane blather to get to the heart of just what this guy is aiming for in his argument.
"this intractable conflict."
It is not intractable. Ethnic cleansing and some good security fences would settle the arabs hash once and for all, if we would give the Israelis the go ahead.
