Iran threatens to continue its war against US if we respond

Washington Post:

Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, today threatened to harm U.S. interests "anywhere in the world" if the U.S. launches an attack.

"The Americans should know that if they assault Iran their interests will be harmed anywhere in the world that is possible," wire services quoted Khamenei as saying.

The comments continued a stepped up campaign of ever-escalating rhetoric from Iran as the deadline approaches for U.N. Security Council consideration of Iran's refusal to curb its nuclear program in defiance of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA.)

Tuesday, Khamenei said Iran is prepared to begin exporting its nuclear technology while other Iranian officials said the Islamic republic would hide its nuclear program and curtail its oil production if foreign governments took harsh actions against Iran.

...

Iran has been at war with the US for over 25 years, and our responding to that war should be more than a tit for tat exchange. It should make it impossible for Iran to make war, by destroying its military and its nuke program. She can then share with her friends the consequences of making war against the US.

Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. 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
