No change to US Middle East policy?
State Department spokesman PJ Crowley said on Tuesday that US Middle East policy would be unchanged regardless of Tuesday's election results. "Democratic and Republican administrations supported by Congress under Democratic or Republican leadership have all supported our pursuit for comprehensive Middle East peace," Crowley said.Bipartisan? Iraq? Afghanistan? For that matter, Jerusalem?
"So this is a significant national interest and I would not expect any electoral results to have an impact on that."
The spokesperson added that "foreign policy in the United States is bipartisan most of the time."
"It is in pursuit of our national interests which don't change administration by administration or election by election."

The new US-lead GOP House may have something to say about that next year - thanks to its power of the purse, which Obama cannot easily dismiss.
And whatever happens on that front, the so-called peace process is still dead.
