What's preventing peace in the Middle East?

Israeli politics, said Dr. Condi Rice. Not Arab mendacity. Not terrorism. Not Hamas. Hezbollah, or Islamic Jihad. Not Iran, and not Iraq. ISRAELI POLITICS are the problem. Or at least that's what the lady said. Money quote:

The fact that Israel and the Palestinians have not reached a peace agreement and will likely fail to do so by the end of 2008 is "largely due to" political turmoil in Israel, US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Sunday night. "Even though there was not an agreement by the end of the year, it is really largely because of the political situation in Israel," Rice told reporters.

You'll want to mark this post, liberal true-believers. If Hillary gets the job at Foggy Bottom, we're going to have to work over time reminding RWers about Bush's Secretary of State.
