What's the point?

Why the hell is Condi going to the Middle East if she's not going to push for a cease-fire? Then she says this:

Asked why she didn't go earlier and engage in quick-hit diplomacy to try to end the death and destruction that has gripped the region, she replied, "I could have gotten on a plane and rushed over and started shuttling and it wouldn't have been clear what I was shuttling to do."

So what is she going for? If she thinks she's going "to address the root causes of that violence" she better pack for a long stay.
