Political reality in the united states. >> lets not lose sight of the fact that the president came out today and said hes in support of a two-state solution. >> no, he didnt say that. he said he would support a two-state solution if the parties agree on it, which is the different than the position george w. bush, barack obama -- no, they took the position that was american policy. >> the palestinians are not committed to a two-state solution. >> no, the palestinians have a specific proposal on t...
