 In Bold Move, Sharon Leaves Likud Party
Sharon and Labor Party leader Amir Peretz have said they are interested in holding the election in March, but the final date won't be set until Katsav decides whether he dissolves parliament or leaves it up to lawmakers.

Well, in a two party system they are going to choose the GOP that is controlled by the far right, the anti-choice, anti-gay, theocratic party.

 “Nation After Nation After Nation Is Joining Our ‘Coalition Of The Willing.’”
Clearly, as our troops sit out there alone getting shot at on a daily basis, we see this was a lie by the President and his administration, used to trick us into supporting his war.
