Governmental Goings-on
November 4th, 2008 by Jason
Just some upcoming travel news about your imminently lame-duck Executive Branch:
Tomorrow, Secretary Rice begins a four-day trip to Israel, Palestine, Jordan, and Egypt. A State Department statement says “she will meet with her Quartet counterparts and senior government officials to discuss efforts to achieve positive and lasting peace in the region, consistent with the Annapolis process and the shared goal of a two-state solution.”
Also, on November 13 President Bush will meet with Saudi Arabia’s King Abdallah in New York at a UN meeting on interfaith dialogue.
The POMED Wire will, of course, bring you full analysis of these and other too-late diplomatic overtures.
