Sharon under resuscitation-significant stroke

[carolinalady]

What does the shift of power in Israel mean for the US/Iran situation? Sharon suffered significant stroke-per CNN just now.

1. We have a whole forum just for discussing Israel. n/t

[carolinalady]

4. relevant here because of breaking news and Iran implication

[Ian David]

8. Okay, fair enough. n/t

[The Stranger]

5. No we don't. That forum is for Israel and Palestine.

The question is explicitly about Israel, Iran and the U.S.

2. The demise of Arafat seemed to change mideast politics pretty

substantially. One would think Sharon's ill health could have similar repercussions.

3. They transferred power to Deputy PM...

...and they're saying he's on a respirator. Also, paralysis of his lower body.

Sanjay Gupta's on now, saying this is very serious.

6. He's a goner n/t

7. God, anyone but that Bebe Netanyahu

That guy gives me the creeps, corruption on legs, lying bully through and through.

10. Cerebral hemorrhage

the end is nigh. One less criminal for the Hague.
Bob Marley has a great verse in Wake up and Live. Strange it's the only thing in my head since I heard the news of his first stroke.
"You see one, one cocoa full a basket
Whey they use you live big today
Tomorrow you bury ina casket
One one cocoa full a basket
Whey they use you live big today
Tomorrow you bury ina casket
All together now

Wake up and live now
Wake up and live"
-----------------------
No matter how big or bad you think you are tomorrow you bury in a casket. No tears here.

9. Hmm. Who will pull *'s strings when Sharon's gone?

[madinmaryland]

11. I think they are in flux right now.

Sharon had moved out of the likud party and shifted more to the center in recent weeks. An election is scheduled for sometime in the next couple of months. I 'm not sure whether Sharon would have kept power when the election was scheduled.

12. update-organ failure at this time

[Bluerthanblue]

13. this is NOT good-

for the man himself- or for us i believe.

Sharon was taking a very unpopular position in the 'pull-out'. Even amongst some right wing american fundies.

Very strange timing- considering that we are sposed to go against Iran with Israel in the near future.

This mess of a world just gets curiouser and curiousor-

Anyone know anything about the Apostolic Congress?

I just read a bit about the armegeddon influence on the White house-

It's pretty creepy- you might want to google it- somehow I got there while looking at impeachment sites....
