I’m not to optimistic either, but then I wasn’t there. Here’s what Condi had to say afterwards:

“I, frankly, was surprised at the relatively positive tone of the meetings,” Gates told reporters during a joint news conference with Rice at the day’s end. “And I think we have some opportunities here. We’ll see.”

[…]

“We were impressed with the favorable atmosphere and receptivity to pursuing these issues and pursuing them in a creative way,” Rice said.
