If Imindeedanutjob isn't sweating, he ought to be.

JERUSALEM (AP) - Israeli President Shimon Peres has chosen hard-line Likud leader Benjamin Netanyahu to form a new government.

Friday's announcement means Netanyahu now has six weeks to put together a ruling coalition.

The question is whether Netanyahu will form a narrow hard-line coalition government or a broad government along with his centrist rival, Kadima leader Tzipi Livni.
