Ariel Sharon May Be Sick Washington Insider Tells LSN Israeli Leader Has Degenerative Illness 3/5/02 9:34:42 PM Bill White Washington, DC -- A "washington insider" told me over dinner tonight that Israeli leader Ariel Sharon is in poor health due to an unspecified degenerative condition related to his age and his weight, and that this is a concern in Washington because of the potential influence this could have in bringing his policies towards the Palestinians -- Sharon's "legacy" -- to a head. Over a debate on whether or not Sharon would move to provoke an international incident as cover for a massive offensive against the Palestinians, the question of Sharon's long term ability to survive both politically and physically was heatedly debated. |
