The most pointless summit ever
The official version of what went on yesterday among Condi Rice, Ehud K. Olmert and 'moderate' 'Palestinian President' Mahmoud Abbas Abu Mazen is relatively terse, but my old doughnut-buying friend Allison Kaplan Sommer knows what really went on there:
Hat Tip: Pajamas Media
Rice: Welcome to our three-way summit. You are here. You are sitting down in the same room. What a great accomplishment. Now, let’s get this out of the way. Why can’t you guys all just get along? Let’s make some peace.Read it all.
Olmert: Sounds great, Condi. We're committed to a peaceful two-state solution. All we need to get started is a Palestinian government that recognizes our existence, will abide by international agreements, and renounces violence as a means of obtaining its goals. Easy peasy.
Abbas: Wonderful principles. I endorse them heartily. I'm committed to this peace and two-state solution thing. But Hamas – well, they don’t seem to go for it. And you know, I’m in a government with them and all. So no go.
Olmert: Now why did you have to go and do that?
Abbas: No choice, man. These Hamas guys, they need an outlet. If we don’t get together with them and say let’s all kill you, then they’ll try to kill us. And you’re a nice guy and all, but if it’s you or me, I pick me.
