Winning The Battle But …
losing the war. The results of yesterday’s election in Israel are trickling in and, based on exit polls, it looks like a last minute surge may allow Kadima to claim a victory over Likud. The BBC article, Israeli rivals claim election win, explains the problem: the order of finish would appear to be Kadima, Likud, Yisrael Beitenu, and Labor, and Kadima only won 30 seats, 25% of the 120 member Knesset.
Likud claimed victory based on the combined seats of Likud and Yisrael Beitenu being larger than Kadima and Labor, but it will be a major juggling match for anyone to form a government with the vote this fractured.

This kind of reminds me of a contest between batshit lunatic crazy and merely crazy. Either way, you still got the lunatics running the asylum. Whoever wins still believes that the way to win votes is to promise that you can kill more darkies than the other side can. Sigh.

There is no way the current administration will figure out that the proper response to whatever government is created from this toxic mess is to cut them off. Don’t even appoint an ambassador, just ignore them and let them commit suicide without any help from the US.
