the israelis were an important stakeholder here. it is surprising to me they allowed it to go so long and i think they thought they were going to spring something on the israelis by showing them at the lass minute and got them -- to pushback. you put your finger in your -- opening statement on the key point about all of this, though. which is -- they -- was this the news the president wanted to make in his speech about the arab? 80% of the speech is about the arab, ball rain and syria. what's the headline that he got? about the '67 borders. is that what he wanted? find that hard to believe. if so, that's kind of -- that's a failure in and a disappointment for the administration. >> what david said is what has been bothering me all day. this was billed in the drumbeat beading up to this almost for a week was finally the magnum opus we will understand and all we are talking about is the 1967 borders. is this a massive miscommunication failure? >> i don't think you can speak to the arab spring and world persuasively without speaking
