Sharon Claims to Control America A fan of NileMedia just sent us this bit of information. We wonder why it wasn't reported in The New York Times or on FOX and CNN. More information is available on the Washington Report on the Middle East. It quotes Ariel Sharon on IAP radio in Israel.

After being told by Peres that Israel should head America's request for a cease-fire or risk "turning the US against us", Sharon replied: "Every time we do something you tell me Americans will do this and will do that. I want to tell you something very clear. Don't worry about American pressure on Israel. We the Jewish people control America, and the Americans know it". The radio then said that Peres and other cabinet ministers warned Sharon to watch it because, "it would cause us a public relations disaster."
