U.S. Says Sharon Is Set to Endorse Bush's Peace Plan
By STEVEN R. WEISMAN - NEW YORK TIMES

Is Sharon ready to cut a deal? Only you know for sure, Nadine! :>)

WASHINGTON, May 22 - The White House has reached a tentative agreement for Prime Minister Ariel Sharon of Israel to make, for the first time, a qualified endorsement of the Bush administration's phased plan for the creation of a Palestinian state, administration officials said today.

White House officials also said today that President Bush planned to meet next month in the Middle East with Mr. Sharon and the Palestinian prime minister, Mahmoud Abbas.

The endorsement, which could be a breakthrough in the Middle East peace effort, was hammered out on Tuesday with Mr. Sharon's chief of staff, Dov Weisglass.

Though this guy also said that when he was in France recently, he found the French in a time warp, still arguing the pre-war arguments. They have not noticed, apparently, that the coalition won the war in three weeks.

I guess we'll have to pay close attention to the GWJCLOVE futures contract:
