From the AP wire:

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Bush, dispatching Vice President
Dick Cheney to the Middle East, said the goal is to get
Israelis and Palestinians to hold firm to the promises they've
made toward peace.

Bush said Monday in the Oval Office that Cheney would "reassure
people that the United States is committed to a vision of peace
in the Middle East."

That's the funniest thing I've read in days. Thank goodness my tea isn't cool enough to drink yet, else I'd've probably ruined this keyboard.

Sigh. 315.5 days to go.
