The much touted failure of obama's in the middleeast peace talks is actually the most successful.
This may seem paradoxical but if somebody has gauged Obama's IQ to become the first black to enter whitehouse, it should be no surprise that seeking or coaxing Israel, which is entrenched into american politics for more than 60 years, to make concessions in his first stint, was nowhere in his mind.
What he has accomplished is to make the americans and the world to wake up to the root cause of the problem, and the attempt to bribe Israel(with F-35s n stuff) was just to sensitize his countrymen to the amount of taxpayer's money and political coverage is being extended to Israel and which is not willing to acquiesce
to even its minimalist of demands to forge peace in the region.
This expose will deal a blow to the powerful israel lobby groups which have a stranglehold over much of the political class in US of A.It is important to realize that he has to do it discreetly without jeopardizing his prospects in the next elections. There are too many examples of his covert approach which has the most experienced of israelis caught into a cat and mouse game, like usa's support to include Israel for nuclear free middleeast, no ferocious response to the goldstone report that indicts Israel equally for war crimes, and linking of usa's security to solving the middleeast conflict as was highlighted by the smart General Petreus who knows the way to the president's goodwill.
Finally the Israelis should concede that they are dealing with a determined and intelligent president in history of USA after the JFK.
