Something took place in Washington between May 15-20, between the failed visit of the soft-spoken U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell in the region and the presidential decision to make Sharon pass the road map through his government without delay,...The Administration had been pushing the Road Map for a long time, mostly through Wolfowitz and Abrams. I don't think anything specific happened, I think the agenda was in place, pending the end of combat in Iraq. Powell's visit didn't work, so Plan B proceeded.Love to know what the "something" was, but perhaps Bush's greatest strength is keeping his cards close to his vest.
