2NC Extensions: A/t – #3 “Case Outweighs” 2611) Our impacts outweigh the case. Middle East conflict will go nuclear because Israel will feel it must act aggressively and pre-emptively with nuclear weapons due to fear if the peace talks fail. Escalation will draw in other great powers like the United States, guaranteeing global war. Extend our SLATER evidence. 2) Our impacts take out solvency because foreign policy overstretch allows allies to pretend they will reform while constantly delaying and never implementing reforms. WALT, 09 [Stephen, Robert and Renée Belfer professor of international relations at Harvard University; “Nibbled to death by ducks?,” 7/27, http://walt.foreignpolicy.com/posts/2009/07/27/nibbled_to_death_by_ducks] An even better tactic (perfected by a number of close U.S. allies) is to pretend to comply with American wishes while blithely going ahead with their own agendas. So NATO allies promise to increase their defense efforts but never manage to do much; Israel promises to stop building settlements but somehow the number of illegal settlers keeps growing, the Palestinians pledge to reform but make progress at a glacial pace, Pakistan suppresses jihadis with one hand and subsidizes them with the other, Iran agrees to negotiate but continues to enrich, China says it will crack down on copyright violations but the problem remains pervasive, and so on. 2NC Extensions: A/t – #4 “Winners Win” [1/2] 2621) Our link is a unique instance in which a political win doesn’t lead to more wins. Foreign policy success requires focus on a single issue, because trying to manipulate different countries in different regions will overstretch Obama’s staff and lead to failure everywhere. Political wins do not create resources and focus. Extend our ANDERSON AND GREWELL evidence. 2) Time-frame takes out the “winners win” argument. During the time that the plan is passed and implemented the opportunity for success in the Middle Ease peace process will have elapsed. 3) Diplomatic capital is finite – too many policies will prevent the U.S. from achieving important goals. SCHAEFFER, 00 [Brett, Fellow in the Center for International Trade at Heritage Foundation; The Greening of U.S. Foreign Policy; p.46] Diplomacy is the first option in addressing potential threats to U.S. national interests and expressing U.S. concerns and priorities to foreign nations. The daily conduct of diplomacy through U.S. missions and representatives is essential in articulating U.S. interests and eliciting cooperation and support for those interests abroad. Because diplomatic currency is finite—clearly, foreign countries and officials cannot be expected to endlessly support and promote U.S. concerns—it is critically important that the United States focus its diplomatic efforts on issues of paramount importance to the nation. Traditionally, these priorities had been opposing hostile domination of key geographic regions, supporting our allies, securing vital resources, and ensuring access to foreign economies (Holmes and Moore 1996, xi-xvii). 2NC Extensions: A/t – #4 “Winners Win” [2/2] 2634) Taking on too many foreign policy issues at once leads to policy overstretch and weakness on every issue, allowing less powerful governments to back out of cooperation. WALT, 09 [Stephen, Robert and Renée Belfer professor of international relations at Harvard University; “Nibbled to death by ducks?” 7/27, http://walt.foreignpolicy.com/posts/2009/07/27/nibbled_to_death_by_ducks] Moreover, trying to advance the ball on so many different fronts simultaneously carries its own risks. In particular, it provides governments that are opposed to some or all of Washington's agenda with an obvious way to respond: they can "just say no." In Taming American Power, I labeled this strategy "balking," (a term suggested to me by Seyom Brown) and I argued that it was a common way for weak states to prevent a dominant power from imposing its will. In a world where the United States remains significantly stronger than any other power, few states want to get into a direct test of strength with Washington. But American power is not so vast that it can simply snap its fingers and expect everyone to do its bidding. Why? Because exercising leverage is itself costly, and the more you do in one area, the more latitude that opponents somewhere else are likely to have. There are still only 24 hours in a day, and the White House can't devote equal attention and political capital to every issue. So states that don’t want to do what Obama wants can delay, dither, obfuscate, drag their feet, or just say no, knowing that the United States doesn’t have the resources, attention span, staying power, or political will to force their compliance now or monitor it afterwards. 2NC Extensions: A/t – #5 “Peace Talks Will Fail” [1/3] 2641) Both sides have announced willingness to come to the table for successful peace talks. ABC NEWS, 13 [Dana Hughes, “John Kerry Announces Breakthrough in Mideast Peace Process,” 7/19, http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2013/07/john-kerry-announces-breakthrough-in-mideast-peace-process/] Palestinian and Israeli officials have reached an agreement that forms the basis to begin direct peace negotiations after nearly three years, Secretary of State John Kerry said. “This is a significant and welcome step forward,” Kerry told reporters in Amman, Jordan, at the end of his week-long Middle East trip, where he shuttled between Jordan and the West Bank, meeting with Arab and Palestinian leaders. Kerry did not visit Jerusalem on the trip, but President Obama spoke by phone with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday. The White House said Obama urged the Israelis “to resume negotiations with the Palestinians as soon as possible.” Both parties seem willing to move quickly on the next step. Kerry said Israeli Justice Minister Tzipi Livni and Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erakat are expected to join him in Washington for more talks “in the next week or so,” at which time further announcements will be made. 2) Getting Israel and Palestine to the negotiating table proves Kerry’s approach will work. DAILY MAIL, 13 [“John Kerry takes 'big steps' toward brokering deal that will help resume the Middle East Peace Talks,” 7/19, http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2371071/Kerry-helped-broker-deal-help-resume-Middle-East-Peace-Talks.html] U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has brokered a step forward in the long-halted Mideast peace process, as he announced Friday that Israel and the Palestinians have agreed on a basis for returning to negotiations. The statement reflected how painstakingly incremental movement in the process is, as the two sides still haven’t fully agreed on all of the terms that will bring them back to the negotiating table. While it appeared deep differences over the groundwork of talks had been bridged, the two sides are to meet - likely in the coming week - to work out final details on actually resuming their negotiations on the toughest issues of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
