Rice leaves Gaza with no new promises

JERUSALEM - Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice brought the “weight of the United States” to bear on fragile talks over Israel’s handover of the Gaza Strip to the Palestinians, but she won no new commitments during a fresh round of shuttle diplomacy.

“There are discussions, meetings, going on between the two sides and I think they’re making some progress,” Rice said after lengthy meetings Saturday with Palestinian leaders.

“I think we can close many of these issues very expeditiously with enough will and perhaps a change in view here or change in view there,” Rice said in the West Bank city of Ramallah, where Palestinians have their headquarters.

The chief U.S. diplomat met separately with Israeli and Palestinian leaders over three days — the third time that has happened since she took over at the State Department in January.

2. Rice is a joke and she's failed us badly
Her expertise was Russia, pre Gorbachov break-up.

She's a disappointment beyond belief.

3. There is nothing funny about that woman.
If she had a conscience she would be walking the halls of the State Department, trying to wash the blood off her hands.

May she never sleep.

4. Agreed.
Her trying to sell the American public on drones and Mushroom Clouds should record her in infamy along with the rest of Bush's crew. They should all be considered traitors to the American public.
