I voted for him, I am desperate for him to succeed, but it looks like Mr. Obama has just torched any credibility he may have had with the Arab world and the cause of a "peace process" between Israelis and Palestinians. Mahmud Abbas was no prize, to be sure, but he was indeed trying to hold his ground vs. Netanyahu on the settlements-freeze isue. Obama seems to have talked him out of that . . . and now, Obama seems to be the one at fault for convincing Abbas' government to assist in deep-sixing the Goldstone report. In the process, Abbas now looks to have sold out the people of Gaza.
