Question: Without suggesting a new path toward Mideast peace  Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton expressed frustration Friday with the Israel-Palestinian impasse while insisting the Obama administration will "not lose hope."
 She said the U.S. will keep pressing for a solution  and she called on Israelis and Palestinians to set aside their differences.
 "It is no secret that the parties have a long way to go and that they have not yet made the difficult decisions that peace requires " she said in a dinner speech at the Saban Forum  a Mideast policy seminar sponsored by the Brookings Institution think tank. "And like many of you  I regret that we have not gotten farther  faster."
 She spoke just days after the administration dropped an effort to persuade Israel to impose a temporary freeze on some settlement activity. The Palestinians insist that direct peace talks cannot resume until Israel halts settlement construction.
 Clinton made clear that she believes the Israelis and Palestinians are ultimately responsible for settling their long conflict.
 "Unfortunately  as we have learned  the parties in this conflict have often not been ready to take the necessary steps " she said. "Going forward  they must take responsibility and make the difficult decisions that peace requires. This begins with a sincere effort to see the world through the other side's eyes  to try to understand their perspective and positions. Palestinians must appreciate Israel's legitimate security concerns. And Israelis must accept the legitimate territorial aspirations of the Palestinian people. Ignoring the other side's needs is in the end self-defeating."
 Clinton did not mention the administration's frequently repeated goal of achieving at least the outline of a final peace settlement by September 2011. That goal was set when Israeli and Palestinian leaders came to Washington in September to resume negotiations -- a process that quickly broke down over disagreement on Israeli settlement activity in the West Bank.
 She pledged to stay actively involved  but she offered no new strategy for achieving the peace deal that has eluded other U.S. administrations.
 "The United States will not be a passive participant " she said. "We will push the parties to lay out their positions on the core issues without delay  in good faith  and with real specificity. We will work to narrow the gaps  asking tough questions and expecting substantive answers. And  in the context of our private conversations with the parties  we will offer our own ideas and bridging proposals when appropriate."
 Before her remarks  Clinton met the Palestinian prime minister  the lead Palestinian negotiator  the Israeli defense minister  Israel's former foreign minister and the U.N. special envoy for the region.
 On Thursday  Clinton held lengthy talks with Israel's chief negotiator. The administration's special Mideast peace envoy will travel to the region next week.

Answer: Clinton expresses frustration at Mideast impasse


Question: Even with a deadly car bombing and other mayhem marring the day -- the deadline for the American troop pullback under a Jan. 1 agreement -- Prime Minister Nouri Kamal al-Maliki seized on the occasion to position himself as a proud leader of a country independent at last  looking ahead to the next milestone of parliamentary elections in January.
 He made no mention of American troops in a nationally televised speech  even though nearly 130 000 remain in the country; most had already pulled back from Iraq's cities before Tuesday's deadline.
 In a national address  al-Maliki focused his praise on Iraqi troops and security forces for their role in fighting the insurgency. "The national united government succeeded in putting down the sectarian war that was threatening the unity and the sovereignty of Iraq " he said  as if the United States had played no role.
 President Barack Obama  who ran for office on a pledge to end the war  marked the occasion with minimal fanfare  declaring it "an important milestone" even as he warned of "difficult days ahead."
 "The Iraqi people are rightly treating this day as cause for celebration " he said.
 The withdrawal did not command its own presidential appearance -- his brief remarks were delivered at a ceremony honoring entrepreneurs -- a marked contrast with his predecessor  who rarely missed an opportunity to celebrate milestones in Iraq.
 Military experts anticipate more violence in the days ahead. Maliki's effort to capitalize on Iraq's latent anti-Americanism and to extol the abilities of his troops is a risky strategy. If it turns out that Iraqi troops cannot control the violence  al-Maliki will be vulnerable to criticism from rivals -- both if he has to ask the Americans to return but also if he fails to enforce security without them.
 Some American commanders have said they were taken aback by al-Malikial-Maliki's insistence on taking credit for all the security successes in Iraq  but they also see the importance of having him and Iraqi troops appear strong  especially in the face of multiple insurgent factions intent on destabilizing the government.
 Gen. Raymond T. Odierno brushed aside the dismissive tone of Iraqi leaders' public remarks about the Americans  saying that al-Maliki had personally thanked him on Monday night and again on Tuesday for the sacrifices American troops have made.

Question: Comedian Louis C.K.’s trailer for  his  new film “I Love You  Daddy” has generated controversy online due to the movie’s theme and its timing following the sexual misconduct allegations against Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein.
Moretz and Malkovich begin dating which horrifies  C.K.  due to her age.
“She’s a minor!”  C.K.  is seen yelling to Malkovich in the trailer.
Slate called the trailer “icky” while Esquire wrote  “Now is not the time for this  Louis C.K.  movie.”
“It’s honestly a bit shocking to see how tone deaf  Louis C.K.  is in 2017 because  he  was once a comedian ahead of the curve in so many ways ” one social media user tweeted.
“That uncomfortable moment when you start to discover that  Louis C.K.  is slowly becoming Woody Allen ” another Twitter user wrote.
 C.K.  told The Hollywood Reporter last month  “It’s just a f--king movie. We’re depicting oxygen-rich people who live in these beautiful apartments and offices saying whatever they want. Folks say s--t to each other. You can’t think about the audience when you’re making the thing. If you do  you’re not giving them something that came out of your gut. You’ll be making something that you’re like  ‘Is this OK for you?’ And they say  ‘Yes  thank you.’ Mark Twain said something like  ‘You can’t say no one can eat steak just because the baby doesn’t have teeth yet.'”
Like Weinstein  the comedian has also been accused of sexual misconduct by female comedians. Gawker published an article two years ago detailing  the allegations against Louis C.K.  while writer and comedian Tig Notaro told the Daily Beast in August that the comedian needed to “handle  the allegations .”
“I made my move on the red carpet of the awards show ” Koester wrote. “One by one  I would ask a conveyor belt of comedians  all men  'How do you feel about the Cosby allegations?' They would all  invariably  claim to be disgusted by the man's misdeeds. I would then follow up with 'How do you feel about the Louis C.K. allegations?' They would all  invariably  claim ignorance.”
