Once more Bush caves in to Sharon demands:

Rice: Security fence will not affect loan guarantees,
By Nathan Guttman and Aluf Benn, Haaretz (Israel), August 2003
" U.S. National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice yesterday told Dov Weisglass, the prime minister's bureau chief, that deducting the cost of the separation fence from U.S. loan guarantees is not on the agenda. During a phone call from Rice to ask why Prime Ministers Ariel Sharon and Mahmoud Abbas were not meeting as scheduled, Weisglass asked about the loan guarantee deductions for the separation fence costs, as reported by Haaretz at the weekend. In Crawford, Texas, where President George Bush is on vacation, his spokesman also said that "at this stage" no decision had been made about the loan guarantees ... "A nation is within its rights to put up a fence if it sees the need for one," Secretary of State Colin Powell said yesterday in a broadcast to the Arab world. However, he said, "in the case of the Israeli fence we are concerned when the fence crosses over on to the land of others."
