| Olmert calls on Obama to pursue Mideast peace |
| 2008-11-25 |
| U.S. President George W. Bush will host Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert Monday for farewell talks where the outgoing leaders will take stock of their achievements marked by the failure to clinch a Mideast peace deal. A senior Israeli official said Olmert, on a visit to Washington to bid farewell to Bush, delivered that message at a meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. "The prime minister stressed the importance that the Annapolis process be continued by the next U.S. administration and Israeli government," the official said. Olmert, who leaving office The United States, Israel and the Palestinians have all acknowledged they will not have a peace accord in place before Bush vacates the White House in January, missing a target date set at the Annapolis peace conference a year ago this week. |

| #3 And how should Obama do that? Methinks the best way to pursue Mideast Peace is to cancel everything to do with the Camp David agreements and let things sort themselves out. |

| #2 "the outgoing leaders will take stock of their achievements" Would that be code for commisserating and crying gator tears on each others shoulders ? |

| #1 ...take stock of their achievements... Other than being an almost incomparable screw-up, what, exactly, has Olmert "achieved"? |
