Clinton and Carter to the middle east?

Chris Suellentrop has the scoop on Dean's Middle-East peace proposal:

2) After the debate's testy exchange between Lieberman and Howard Dean over Israel policy, in the "spin room" Howard Dean unveils a peace proposal that I hadn't heard from him before: The president needs to "swallow his pride" and send "the two men who have done more for Israel" over the past 50 years than any other Americans—Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter—to the Middle East to negotiate a peace settlement.

This is, of course, one of those "never in a million years" type proposals. But it is vintage Dean.
