Sharon dumped Gaza at Bush's request.
It's part of the war on terror.
The gloves come off now.
Israel provides us with supplies, ports, and intelligence in the Gulf.
So Sharon did this to get favors from Bush by selling or leasing us access though Israel? Or is it an attempt to make Gaza a more target rich environment? When the pull out is done, has Sharon given the Pali's enough rope to hang themselves? When the terrorism continues, will this be seen a set up for re-occupation of Gaza?
You're kidding, right? The Bush Administration was unhappy about Sharon unilaterally pulling out of Gaza. It upset "the peace process," don'tcha know? Israel wasn't supposed to do anything regarding land or settlements until it reached a "global solution" with the Palis - hopefully brokered by the U.S. - which of course, is impossible because Israel is not giving up Jerusalem, ever. Sharon changed the equation of the never-ending "peace process" by building the wall and by getting the settlers out of Gaza. He is done negotiating with terrorists. Who knows what he is going to do next, but he isn't taking orders from George Bush, that's for sure.
