Granted that all attempts in peace-making should be lauded, the first (and probably last) attempt of Bush in brokering peace in the Mid East seems anything but.
It's only now that W learns the wisdom that US cannot impose its vision on Mid East? Does it take any reasonable, average-wit person seven years in learning some wisdom? Obviously, considering that Bush has nothing but his legacy to worry about now (with only the Iraq war left to fill a big hole), he's a man in hurry, to want to finish a peace deal before his second term ends. But he should realize by now (I hope), that declaring "mission accomplished," is cheap talk, if he really hasn't done much. And history will not take it kindly on his "mission accomplished" landing, and the mess that follows the Iraq fall.
With a leader of this much "intelligence," it's no doubt too, that it takes years for Condi Rice to turn from her comfortable zone of dealing with Russia (where her pre-administration days of studies were focused on), to the MidEast, to realize what a big gap in the world order America has overlooked in these seven years' void.
Bush should also realize by now that, not only does his lame-duck phase of presidency would hamper whatever that he might want to accomplish, but his moral credibility has sunk this low that, his call for "whatever" just move anybody.
