Perhaps, Obama will engage George W. Bush as ME broker. He is loved by most parties involved: US radical rightwingers, AIPAC, christian evangelists and of course all Israeli (dual)citizens. After sending Bill Clinton on the North Korean mission and getting both involved in Haiti Relief, Obama has used George Bush to tackle the unrest in North Ireland. Bush talked with Unionists, results seems not to be very successful. What is next, will Obama rely on Cheney and Rumsfeld to solve Iraq and Afghanistan?

"But I will not let myself be reduced to silence."

Honestly, all Israeli (dual) citizens?

That is as stupid a statement as saying that all US citizens love GWB.

Your bias is showing, please try to maintain at least the appearance of objectivity.

it depends on advisers, whether Dubya has any reasonable advisers right now. recalling his north ireland intervention it seems that Ms Rice had left him for good. otherwise she would suggest that it is not the right time to be a peacemaker considering intransigence of the current Israeli administration and unresolved Gaza issue. But if there are any chances for peace talks I doubt that Obama administration would want to give credit to Republicans anyway.

so to be realistic the peace process is dead right now.

it will be interesting to see will obama administration crack the whip on israel or will not. furious words and hollow threats won't be enough for the netanyahu regime to drop mischiefs and take negotiating pose.

"will not" IMO.

No American president has tried to crack to the whip since George Bush Sr., but I don't think he got anywhere with the gesture. I can't remember the context.
