...First, Pelosi has long considered media training - the kind that teaches you never to leave your own press conference - a waste of her time.

Second, for all her careful planning, Pelosi can be rash, even impetuous, when confronted with a surprise, as she was at her CIA presser. "Her biggest fault?

Obama on Monday didn't press Netanyahu to reverse his position on the two-state solution, but the Administration has begun pushing insistently for Israel to freeze settlement activity in the West Bank. That practical step toward the two-state destination will likely be the focus, for now, but the Administration is hoping to persuade Arab states to help by offering Israel fresh gestures of recognition in exchange for doing so.
