(The news article below about 2008 reminded of the prophecy of the 12 presidential houses at http://members.aol.com/chursey/c_alan_martins_house_vision.htm in which the 12th house which is the next presidential house after Bush represents judgment on America. The next president would be elected in November of 2008 with his inauguration in January of 2009 unless Bush is assassinated before November of 2008. Then the 12th presidential house would begin sooner. Don't forget that Bush is pushing the roadmap to a Palestinian state in Israel, and the U.S. ends up with severe weather patterns the more that Bush pushes the road map and as it is implemented. I wonder what will happen to the U.S. if Sharon or it's next prime minister has Israel withdraw from all the West Bank by 2008.)
SHARON PREPARES MAJOR WITHDRAWAL FROM ALL OF THE WEST BANK BY 2008TEL AVIV [MENL] -- Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has drafted a plan for a withdrawal from virtually all of the West Bank by 2008.
Political sources said Sharon has begun briefing senior U.S. officials of his intention to withdraw unilaterally from more than 95 percent of the West Bank. They said Sharon, who quit the ruling Likud Party on Nov. 21, would seek a U.S. and international security presence in the area as well as a commitment for the dismantling of Palestinian insurgency groups.
"His decision [to quit the Likud] stems from his desire to bring the state of Israel to permanent borders during his term of office," Eli Landau, a longtime confidante of Sharon, said. "He knows that this step will be a dramatic one."
The sources said Sharon's plan was based on an assessment that the Palestinian Authority was not prepared to sign a formal peace agreement with Israel. They said that under this scenario Sharon would order a unilateral withdrawal from more than 90 percent of the West Bank, but retain control over air space.
