And the fact that the U.S. consistently remains mute on such actions tells you who is calling the shots, reader:
"Rice tries to close gaps on Mideast peace; 2 sides at odds over document" by Matthew Lee/Associated Press October 15, 2007
"Ahead of her meetings, Rice delivered a rare warning to Israel not to take any steps that might erode confidence in the peace process. "This is a very delicate time," she said. "It's just a time to be extremely careful."
Her comments referred to the renewal of a road project that Palestinians fear is intended to tighten Israeli control over strategic West Bank areas near Jerusalem. Israel says construction is not imminent and is meant to ease Palestinian movement.
But those assertions did little to ease concerns. Shortly after Rice landed, Israeli officials said they had decided to resume an archeological dig near a hotly disputed Jerusalem holy site, drawing more Palestinian charges that Israel is trying to scuttle the conference.
Rice also met with Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak, who later issued a statement saying the military's freedom of movement in the West Bank was a "fundamental principle that must be demanded in the future as well."

"Rice played down the idea of a breakthrough on this trip, calling the Israeli-Palestinian talks “a work in progress.” She said she did not expect “that there will be any particular outcome in the sense of breakthroughs on the document”
[This is all just hot fart mist and wheel-spinning.
There will be no peace, as long as the Zionists control Israel]
