Anthony Cordesman, the CSIS Arleigh A. Burke Chair in Strategy, and Jon Alterman, director of the CSIS Middle East Program, were quoted by the Washington Times, "Bush will be 'Waiting for Godot' in Middle East."
President Bush's trip to Israel next week will do nothing for the Arab-Israeli peace process and is in fact more similar to an existential Samuel Becket play, Middle East experts said this morning in a briefing.
"In some ways, this is the road show cast of 'Waiting for Godot,'" said Anthony Cordesman, at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, to reporters who will travel with the president to the Middle East.
"Basically you're going out there with the president to basically set a marker while everybody waits for the next president," Cordesman said.
