From the first article:

"There is no one magic approach to peace in the Middle East," Fleischer said yesterday. "If there was, it would have been done and tried and successful a long time ago."

Martin Indyk, former U.S. ambassador to Israel, expressed a degree of sympathy for the administration's difficulty in navigating the Middle East conflict. "It's unfair to simply say they don't have a policy. This is hard. This is very hard," Indyk said.

From the other column:

If there's a silver lining to the parochialism and lack of imagination in the Franks/Mikolashek plan, it is the search it has provoked for creative alternatives. "If placement of a U.S. corps in Kuwait provokes the Republican Guards to deploy to the desert and prepare the defense of Basra, I say, great, come on down," a senior Air Force officer said, noting that then 21st century airpower could once again be employed to bomb a hapless army stuck in 20th century trenches.

Arafat plays Bush like a cheap violin.

usatoday.com
President Bush called Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat's condemnation of terrorism an "incredibly positive sign" Wednesday. He urged Israel to consider the consequences of retaliating for the latest suicide bombing.

The dangerous sign is not the positions that Bush takes, after all he's taken all the positions on this subject at one time or another, but the fact that some rather unsavory characters have learned how to play to Bush's shallow nature and intellect. This cannot have a good effect on national policy.
