"Kerry: Obama wasted 1 1/2 years on Mideast peace, may try again soon" (Politico)

Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman John Kerry said Tuesday that President Barack Obama frittered away the first half of his term on an ill-advised approach to seeking peace in the Middle East, but may "step out" within weeks with a new initiative to break the gridlock.

Speaking to a gathering in Washington of leaders from the Muslim world, Kerry said the administration's effort to set the table for broader talks by resolving the impasse over Jewish settlements in the West Bank was futile. However, he suggested that the administration may move soon to get the peace process going in order to head off a possible showdown at the United Nations in September.
