Category Image Annapolis is so cliche


So Bush has finally succumbed to the mindlessness of Israeli-Palestinian negotiations. One of the few remaining distinctions of note that made him stand out as better than his predecessors has fallen to the wayside.

Ignoring Israel and Palestine was working just fine, at least as well as the decades of others pretending that talking can fix the problem.

But too many people, mostly "journalists" (whatever that may mean) and state department weenies, including Condoleeza Rice, are too fixated and dependent on the parade of the usual suspects characters and they needed a hit to satisfy their addiction.

Nothing substantive will come of Annapolis, and I don't even think Bush expected anything more. But now all the denizens of Foggy Bottom are glowing because unlike Iraq this is a career enhancer that they know how to deal with. The mainstream media are atwitter because this is news that they already know how to categorize and write about without someone helping them with press releases.

Nothing will happen, but the people who add more control than value will be happy.
