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.

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.

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.

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).
