Haass let slip that “My boss, Colin Powell, was not terribly successful.”
And he also let it be known that “the administration will leave this part of the world [the Middle East] worse off than how it found it.”
Haass detailed how he would have set up the Annapolis conference differently were he president.
“I would have given a major speech [beforehand]” or “I would have taken steps to bolster Israel.”
