I don't see how he can deliver, but it is on his back. Sharon has to pull some trailers down from some outposts. We will see video of angry settlers shaking their fists at Israeli soldiers doing the dirty work.

Neither has really given much. Abu Mazen has just re-promised the same stuff that was promised in Oslo, and Sharon has only promised to pull down some outposts that are illegal by Israeli law - nothing about the rest of the settlements. (Can you say bargaining chip?).

Of course, the world will expect the Israelis to do what they have promised, while double talk will suffice from the Palestinians. This is called affirmative action in warfare.

The words were hardly out of Abu Mazen's mouth when Hamas said, "Cease-fire, hell! We don't agree to no stinkin' cease-fire." Al-Aqsa (=Fatah=Arafat) hasn't agreed either.

Be interesting to see what comes next (predictable) and how Bush reacts to it (not so predictable).
