JERUSALEM - Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon crashed to defeat in a parliamentary budget vote Wednesday and fired his main coalition partner, signaling the potential collapse of his government and endangering his plan to withdraw from occupied Gaza.

No-confidence vote on horizon
Sharon, without a base in parliament, could face a no-confidence vote over the economy Monday. He was expected to immediately launch negotiations to replace Shinui with the Labor Party to restore his majority, with perhaps a religious faction added to pad his margin.

That appeared to be his only option to avert snap elections two years ahead of schedule and an indefinite delay to his plan for “disengaging” from conflict with Palestinians by removing all Jewish settlements from Gaza and a few from the West Bank.

2. Could the fat mass murderer be on his way out?

Oh, Ariel. It feels like we've only just started to know each other. Would a few more billion of our tax dollars help?

3. They will replace him with worse

How you could be any worse than that bastard I don't know.
Actually, any card carrying member of likud would probably do fine.

4. Well, the man DID fire five of his own. Maybe, he's evolving?

I never give up on the possibility that people can change,...although he's certainly been a challenge for me and I'll always hold him accountable for the crimes he has committed.

I wonder who would replace him. :freak:

I am so tired of watching so many things go from the frying pan into the fire.

5. Fcuk Sharon

No matter who is in power, the United States will support that ruler. Whether Sharon would want to seek peace or want to trample Arabs with tanks, Bush or any other American ruler would be supportive.
