...decision came on a 78-to-1 vote to oust the 1,000 mostly American Forces (French and Spanish NATO-allied troops make up the rest) stationed at the Manas airbase on the outskirts of the Kyrgyzstan capital of Bishkek.

And while Livni's strength was a function of Labor voters moving to the right to back Kadima, Netanyahu lost support not to the center, but to the far-right nationalist Yisrael Beitenu party of Avigdor Lieberman, whose third-place finish with 16 seats, according to exit polls, made...
