Iran's Turn in the Barrel

Iran whose leading export is terror will be the focus of the next battle in the war against terror. It is not expected that it will require the use of force as is the case with Iraq.

When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
