Sharon Pledges Settlement Growth Despite Protests From Palestinians
2005-04-05
My guess would be that he needs to do that to maintain his own political balance within Israel. He's got to know that substantial settlements are going to be roadmapped eventually.

#1  I look at it this way: had Mazen taken decisive steps against the thugs operating in his territory instead of trying to "recruit" them into the PA, Sharon would have no justification whatsoever to expand any settlements.

It's almost incomprehensible that these basket-case Paleos don't seem to realize that they'd have more support behind them if only they would simply live up to their agreements...
