Sharon/Bush meeting:

Just speculation, but I wonder why Sharon went to Bush, now.

"CRAWFORD, Texas (AP) -- President Bush met with Prime Minister Ariel Sharon on Monday to offer support for his controversial Gaza pullout plan that the Israeli leader said has generated an atmosphere approaching civil war. The leaders conferred at the president's ranch, the first in a series of Bush's meetings with Mideast leaders over the next month."

"Bush: 'Israel should remove unauthorized outposts'...
Sharon: 'I will fulfill my commitment to you, Mr. President, to remove unauthorized outposts'..." (From Drudge)

All sounds good, Sharon scraping and bowing to Bush and all, but I wonder what is not reported, like maybe Bush getting his Iran orders?
