Sharon Has Stroke

Prime Minister Ariel Sharon was rushed into surgery at Hadassah University Hospital, Ein Karem late Wednesday night, after intra-cranial bleeding was detected, following what doctors described as a "significant stroke."

There was no immediate assessment of the damage he may have suffered, but doctors assessed that Sharon's chances of recovery may not be high.

As a result of his condition, Deputy Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has taken over prime ministerial authority, Cabinet Secretary Yisrael Maimon told reporters.

From Haaretz

prayers for the old terrorist, [or Haganah hand].  May the hole in his heart be healed by Christ's love.  And may he be forgiven for his sins, if not.  He will surely meet his judge.
