Surprise, surprise, surprise! (Said in my best Gomer Pyle accent.) Just in time for the meeting between Bush and the Crown Prince in the Western White House, Sharon is putting out his own peace plan. cnn.com Heard on the radio that Powell talked to Sharon today about letting UN investigators into Jenin. I'd love to have listened in on that conversation.

I think these guys (Bush and Crown Prince) are already on a more personal basis. Very few people get invited to the Western White House (ranch in Crawford, TX.) They are getting together to "talk turkey." It's also a venue where Prince Abdullah's well known penchant for throwing theatrical tantrums when pressed on issues he doesn't want to discuss won't get him very far. I bet he either doesn't go or leaves ahead of schedule. This troop-movement stuff back home looks like a stunt (to demand more things that Bush can't or won't give) or an excuse to go home due to the "crisis" (if Bush turns around and begins demanding some cooperation on the War on Terror).
