I've Been Thinking:

I sure hope they are using pencil to keep track of which countries are and which countries are not planning to appear at the US Naval Academy for the Annapolis Conference.

The Conference begins Monday night in DC before moving on to Annapolis proper on Tuesday morning and many countries are still waffling.
Why?
Some countries are predicating attendance on topics that are relevant to them, topics that they want included on the agenda.
Other countries want to be assured of the conclusions the Conference will come to even before the Conference starts.

Saudi Arabia has said yes.
Syria will not attend unless it is clear that the Golan Heights will be one of the topics receiving top priority.
The Arab League will be there only if there is promise of al real solution to the Palestinian/Israel situation. If they attend we will know, in advance, that progress of sorts has been made.

The United States is scrambling - making promises and luring regional partners. They are working the phones non-stop.
They probably have a better chance of pulling a rabbit out from a hat.

Whatever happens, happens.
Monday night it's "anchors away" any which way.
