For months, President Bush has been saying a peace deal is possible before he leaves office in January.
But now, his comments are more measured. With a transition of power underway in Israel and time running out for major concessions, Mr. Bush is saying only that he is hopeful.
You set out to be the President that brings peace in the Middle East by forcing Israel to give away large chunks of land, you end up being the guy in charge when the U.S. economy tanks. Who says there’s no justice in the world?
