"It's almost a tradition that lame-duck presidents make a swing to the Middle East, including Israel. It is traditionally a victory lap. This is a victory lap without a victory." -- Michael B. Oren, a historian of the Middle East at the Shalem Center in Jerusalem, on U.S. President George W. Bush's first visit to Israel in January 2008.
