Twilight Zone Dept. Peres attacks Sharon from the Right.
Labor Party chairman Shimon Peres accused Prime Minister Ariel Sharon on Sunday of making too many concessions to the Palestinians. The architect of the Oslo diplomatic process found himself in the strange position of attacking Sharon from the Right at Labor's bureau meeting in Tel Aviv.

"The Likud conceded everything without even beginning negotiations after declaring that they wouldn't conduct negotiations under fire," Peres said. "They opposed a Palestinian state in the past and agreed to one now, they opposed freezing settlements then and agreed now, they wanted Greater Israel and now they support ending the occupation."
I'm speechless. Pleased, but speechless.
