What If Netanyahu Becomes the New Prime Minister in March
?

As I have stated in several previous updates, trying to predict which Israeli party will be able to collect the 61 seats necessary to form a new government, is like trying to guess the number of marbles in a 5-gallon glass container in a drug store window to win a contest.
Between now and March a lot can happen to change any guesstimates made at the present time.
My guess is that the Kadima (Forward) party will win the most seats. I have always liked Benjamin Netanyahu.
He is a straight forward, no nonsense, man who loves Israel, and deals with any military situation directly and with force, which always gets him in trouble with the international community. But with Netanyahu, the security of Israel and its welfare ranks first, and the desire of the U.S. and the rest of the international community is second.
Although I do not believe he will be installed as the new Prime Minister after the March elections, I hope I am wrong, because he is what Israel needs.
In any case the long awaited security barrier will be completed regardless of which party wins the elections, but with Netanyahu its building progress would be greatly accelerated, and no quarter would be given to the terrorist groups
and countries.
A good friend of mine sent an article to me from the Financial Sense Online by Derrick Michael Reid, Esq., which expresses the same view I have always held concerning Netanyahu.
The article was dated January 5, 2005, and I have extracted two paragraphs from it, which follow. I hope he is right about the outcome of the March elections. If he is, I assure you his analysis of Netanyahu’s future actions as Prime Minister are definitely on target.
Begin Two Paragraph Quote from Financial Sense Online
“With moderate-of-late Sharon out of the political picture with a stroke, it will be difficult for Perez to hold the middle ground in Israel’s politics to secure a centrist political party victory supporting Palestinian statehood and unilateral withdraw and moderation, as the Likud party chief, and former Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu resurfaces from the shadow’s of the parting Sharon.
It wont take long either after the March Israeli election.
Netanyahu won’t mess around with Iran by begging for useless endless negotiations as are the EU-3 presently doing with
Iran.
Israel is relatively immune to Iran’s threaten oil price increases, and will strike from the get go. Israel already has a massive stock pile of 2000 bunkerbusters and has a vast array of anti-missile batteries to counter the Salaam III 1500-mile range Iranian missiles.
It won’t matter what Iran says, truth or not, Israel will defend itself from being “wiped off the map”. The Israeli knows that a vote for Deputy Prime Minister Ehud Olmer, Sharon’s present 2nd, now tainted with the middle of the road tact, is too dangerous, in the presence of being threatened to be “wiped off the map”, as the Iranian President has recently proposed.
With Israel in fear of growing threats and extinction from Iran, Israelis will fall back on the old warrior, Netanyahu, as a necessary vote to defang Iran and preserve Israel.”
