Obama supporters, get a grip.

For all of you who think this ad means that Hillary = Karl Rove, please tell me, what kind of ad do you think Hillary SHOULD be running against Obama? Do tell.

At the risk of dragging this thread back on topic;

MJ says the "Palestinians" will be in attendance. Which Palestinians? Abbas/Fatah? Hamas? Islamic Jihad? And if one of these groups is left out, what does that mean for the validity of any agreement reached at the talks?

Also, the fact that Condoleeza Rice is determined to reach an agreement is nice, but everything this adminstration touches turns to sh*t. Why, then, does her involvement constitute an "opportunity" for anyone?

Matt-

How about expanding a bit on

"Palestinians by and large want things that Israel won't give them and won't be made happy by concessions of the sort offered at Camp David or by "unilateral disengagement."

Let's take the end of the Taba negotiations as a starting point. Israel (then, and probably in future) is willing to concede at least that much territory and soverignty. If that's the case then how much more will it take to satisfy the Palestinians? What else should Israel give?

"Right of Return" for all Palestinians to live within the 1948 borders of Israel? ("Two states for one people"?) The demographic considerations would destroy Israel in short order. Yet without this concession, are the Palestinians going to be satisfied?

What combination of concessions would satisfy Hamas? Islamic Jihad? Would any responsible Israeli government agree to those terms?

I normally disagree strongly with David Brooks, but his NYT opinion piece today is exactly right. "As Israel Goes for Withdrawal, Its Enemies Go Berserk"
