>> If the story is true, Sarkozy is an incredible jerk. <<

Hey look at this, the "conservative" President of France strikes again, demanding Netanyahu replace a conservative coalition partner with some leftists. Sarko hasn't promoted socialists this much since a couple of weeks ago when he appointed Frédéric Mitterrand, the nephew of the late socialist president François Mitterrand, as France's culture minister. Wow, what a great leader for the conservaitve cause worldwide.

Ah, but Cincinna says it's all okay, cuz you know, we just have to view this with the "context of French culture". Hey, wait a minute, I coulda sworn "the people" of France are extremely distrustful of handing over their sovereignty to globalist world organizations, and both Sarko and his predecessor suffered humiliating "non" vote on their national referendum to approve the EU charters. So why is Sarko constantly pimping the EU? Shouldn't he start viewing things within the "context of French culture" more? He's already mentioned in speeches that his pandering to Arabic isn't exactly popular with the rank and file frog electorate.

I certainly think Netanyahu would disagree with Cincinna calling Sarko his equal leader in the conservative cause worldwide. I don't even think Sarko's "conservative" credentials equal any of his neighboring European countries, which makes it all the more pathetic since the rest of western Europe isn't very conservative to begin with. The problem is Cincinna focuses on rhetoric rather than results. When Clinton said "the era of big government is over", it didn't mean the era of big government was over or that Clinton was a great spokesman for the conservative cause. When Sarko takes swipes at Obama for not doing his bidding, or talks tough against some dictator, it doesn't mean Sarko would lift a finger to actually do anything about it. My favorite was when Sarko "demanded" the Chinese stop oppressing the Tibetans or he would "boycott" the opening ceremony (not the entire sporting event, just the opening ceremony, mind you) of the Olympics. Naturally the commie Chinese laughed at the little frenchman and called his bluff. Sarko then tucked his tail between his legs and showed up to applaud the opening ceremony like a good boy. Even in neighboring Germany, Angela Merkel made a similar call and actually went through with it.

The little poodle Sarko is all bark and no bite, so thankfully Netanyahu will ignore Sarko's call on this one.

I wouldn’t call Kadima leftist but they’ve been atrocious on Palestinian policy. 4th place Labor is already in Bibi’s government, unfortunately. Kadima would be too but their “Tin Lady” Tzipi Livn pulled a Gerald Ford in 1980 and demanded a co-Prime Ministership.

Might as well name Abbas as your Foreign Minister as her.

Sarkozy should keep his mouth shut on internal Israeli politics...but then we don't do we? We have nothing but dictates and declarations about what our Israeli friends can do with their own territory and whether they should be allowed to defend themselves against genocidal madmen. The difference is that Sarkozy and this historically antisemitic and pro-Arab French can be ignored with impunity, but as Israel's only true friend, our meddling is quite burdensome.
