Hamas and al Qaeda

Cliff May:

...

The truth is that Hamas and al-Qaeda are – ideologically -- connected at the hip. Both are terrorist organizations – Hamas has been so designated not just by the U.S. but also by the European Union. Both al-Qaeda and Hamas are in the business of waging what they believe will be the final war against the infidels.

There is one distinction: Whereas al-Qaeda will fight on any battlefield anywhere it thinks it can defeat “crusaders and Zionists” – and it is convinced it will soon accomplish that mission in Iraq -- Hamas’ primary goal is more modest: to wipe only Israel off the map. In other words, al-Qaeda thinks globally, Hamas acts locally.

...
They are both organizations that need to be destroyed. It is too bad more people do not recognize this reality. Jimmy Carter's suggestion that people should be negotiating with Hamas is just plain silly. It is a nihilistic organization whose "moderate stance" involves waiting 10 years to destroy Israel since ti is nto strong enough to do it today.

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
