Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has been taken to a hospital, Israeli television reports.

FNC is reporting a press conference going on now

Waiting for a translation to report further

We need a Palestinian cam so we can watch them celebrate

I can't believe it... they just showed a video on CNN of Palis in Gaza cheering and passing around sweets.

FNC - from the presser

Sharon will be released from the hospital soon

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

Why is it so difficult to believe?

They did the same thing on 9/11.

True to form, the Palestinians fail at humanity.

Thank you very much for the update.

Why not good for the future of Israel. I don't think Sharon has been making very many good choices for Israel. By giving away land he certainly is working against God's will for Israel. That being said I hope Sharon is ready to meet his God.

[Joe Boucher]

Very dangerous time. How will the neighborhood react? Will say Iran see opportunity? Will the Palis go crazy if Bibi or another less moderate come to power?
Hard to see Sharon as a moderate, after his past.

[Thinkin' Gal]

Okay, I'll try this again:

I was surprised it was shown on the Crescent News Network CNN.

[Mo1]

You're welcome

They didn't say when he was be released

Just that he would be released soon

The Vice Premier, Ehud Olmert.

[conservative blonde]

I agree with you.

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

It was probably edited out for the international audience.

:-)

[Txsleuth]

Duh,..no!

I am just choosing NOT to use this thread as a hate-Sharon vehicle...

PLUS...I am not going to blame Bush for every single bad or good decision that anyone makes, even Sharon.

[streetpreacher]

Neither am I.

I don't hate Sharon.

I just believe that many men grow old and lose heart.

He should step aside and let more capable men take the reigns.

[streetpreacher]

reigns = reins

I have not been a fan of Sharon's recent political activities, which in my opinion have been very dangerous to Israel's security and even its survival.

But at this point I'm inclined to wait and see what happens next. I wish him the best of luck personally.

Canteen Ping for an American ally.
Prime Minister Sharon has been taken to the hospital. Israel is America's ally and a partner against Islamic terrorists.

Prayers up for Prime Minister Sharon and the Israeli people.
