I do believe that it’s in the Constitution now that every president, in his final year, must make an empty gesture to solve the Arab/Israeli conflict. It’s the law!

He is far more likely to be successful in countering Iran’s expanding influence and dealing with other major regional problems than in resolving the Arab-Israeli dispute - yet his pursuit of the former goal is impeded by his policies concerning the latter.

Bush seems to have aimed at the wrong targets most of the the 2nd term. His initial Social Security push was ill conceived and pretty much doomed the entire term. Now he’s pushing Israel into a stupid “land for peace” deal.
The only decent thing he’s done in the last three years was put General Petreius in charge of Iraq.
