And yet, sadly, the jury is still out on some of his decisions. One area where Sharon was undeniably a poor strategist but a phenomenal tactician was in managing his diet.

One area where Sharon was undeniably a poor strategist but a phenomenal tactician was in managing his diet.

But just this once, for the honor of Sharon, I'll cave. Not merely a tactician. A Brilliant Strategist. No "perhaps." TM, You know how I loathe to say how wrong you were and how right I was.

Not merely a tactician. A Brilliant Strategist. No “perhaps.”

Sharon has played him like a piano. So far, the polls and Sharon's maneuvering are such that unless the AG (Mazuz) indicts him for some reason, he's actually going to have a chance to pull this off. Of course, I'll then have to eat my words in this post. Netanyahu is a talker, not a doer. Sharon has played him like a piano.

His cowardly surrender of Gaza without winning any concessions from Palestinian terrorists proves he's just as willing as Barak to offer a "peace" proposal while ignoring the safety, security, and sovereignty of Israel proper. It's my sincere hope that Netanyahu wins the next election, and crushes Hamas and Islamic Jihad as only a real warrior knows how to do.

I'd much rather have fun with you than find myself on the receiving end of your rapier-like wit. Anyway, it was just the comparison to AM radio that got me riled up. If you had compared me to NPR, I would have blown kisses your way. Esther, I know when I’m overmatched.

WINS claims to be up-to-the-minute coverage of news, etc. But I read it on Jewlicious last night and didn't hear it on the radio till morning. But if you'd like to get in a fight about it, I'm open.

True, he wouldn't be able to lead the party this time around, but in the future he'd likely have the support of the centrist and hawkish Laborniks, thanks to his sea change on the settlements and territory issue. And thus he'd have a much larger political base than he would with yet another new party (the last thing Israel needs).
