After the 2001 remark Bush made some unpleasant remarks about Sharon's comments and Sharon rolled over on his back. As far as the construction activity on Maale Adumim most of what I have read is that they are awaiting American approval before any real construction starts which means it might never. Remember the big concession Sharon supposedly got was that there would be no progress toward a Palestinian State until they started dismantling the terrorists. That got replaced by Hudna, which translated into "if you can't beat them join them". Yet the moves toward a Palestinian State are going forward at double speed. Now they are going to have a real airport, seaport, etc. yet have done nothing to reign in terrorists and Sharon has done nothing to stop it in fact has abetted it.
Construction is moving forward in E1 and Ma'ale Adumim. There is no need for American approval.
You and I will never agree on anything.
