And, for ...Bibi shed mandates before the election! And, for whatever he wants, it's not to be a "king-maker" for the right. And, Lieberman, with 15 seats, is no "king-maker" on the left, either. <BR/><BR/>Not mentioned is the merger between Labor and Meretz. Both lost strength. But added together? You get 16 seated left sided jerks. And, that's one more seat than Lieberman's.<BR/><BR/>You think Livni is the only one who sings "28 is more than 27?)<BR/><BR/>Up ahead? NO. STABLE. GOVERNMENT. <BR/><BR/>On the other hand, what does Shimon Peres see? I think he sees Olmert staying in the driver's seat; as this election goes ahead and amounts to a "whole lot of nothing."<BR/><BR/>If the deal to reach 61 ... by either side ... is nothing but a portfolio ripoff; how strong would those 61 seats be? In a knesset where there's hostile fighting going on now, about the size of the room Likud can meet in. Since they went from 12 seats to 27. (And, no one credits Bibi with the miracle this climb up really was!) <BR/><BR/>So much has been paid for Morris Talansky's mischief, you have no idea!<BR/><BR/>Oh, by the way, whatever you want to do when you're counting "winnahs" ... what happens when some right wingers end up going into the opposition? 61 to 59 looks more like a tug-of-war, than a solution.<BR/><BR/>As to Shimon Peres, he will do everything possible NOT to bring this situation to a quick resolution! Let alone, the political deals!<BR/><BR/>Now, I'll bet, again. IF Livni gets to "rotate" with Bibi, she takes the first two years. And, her screw ups so enrage the right, that instead of tug-of-war; you end up with broken rope. About dead center. (It's just a bet.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-62156623465166078302009-02-18T15:39:00.000+02:002009-02-18T15:39:00.000+02:00bluke: the job is too small for him now.bluke: the job is too small for him now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-29809717941211631692009-02-18T14:43:00.000+02:002009-02-18T14:43:00.000+02:00Arik's still alive and Olmert is still PM...nu?Is ...Arik's still alive and Olmert is still PM...<BR/>nu?<BR/>Is Bibi a poker player?Batyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11246929075812590204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-82319281228824768322009-02-18T13:44:00.000+02:002009-02-18T13:44:00.000+02:00I am sure Peres is dying to pronounce himself Prim...I am sure Peres is dying to pronounce himself Prime Minster if there was any legal way he could.blukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03774763780910614203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-17726672055218764262009-02-18T09:16:00.000+02:002009-02-18T09:16:00.000+02:00I agree.
