More bad news for the neo-cons

Nov. 11, 2005 -- UPDATE: More bad news for the neo-cons. Israel's Labor Party, in a surprise development, has chucked out octogenarian Shimon Peres as its leader and chosen Histadrut labor union leader Amir Peretz to replace him. Peretz's first action will be to leave Ariel Sharon's Likud government, a coalition deal worked out by Peres. Peretz is a strong opponent of Israeli neo-con favorite Binyamin Netanyahu. If Peretz, a native of Morocco, becomes Prime Minister, look for a scaling back and government and media investigation of Israeli special operations in other countries that may be linked to false flag terrorist attacks.
