Jon Alterman, director of the CSIS Middle East Program, was quoted by McClatchy Newspapers, "Bush Presses On to Mideast Amid Change."
President Bush, who once had grand ambitions to transform the Middle East through democratic reform, sets off on his first extended presidential visit to the region tomorrow with his sights lowered and his ability to influence events fading fast. . .
"The Bush administration has been mugged by reality. After vowing to transform the Middle East, the administration is submitting to it," said Jon Alterman of the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a center-right policy organization in Washington.
