Iranian weapons ship sunk

Jerusalem Post:

An Iranian vessel, en route to Sudan in order to deliver weapons to Hamas in the Gaza Strip, was attacked by an Israeli or American ship and destroyed, according to a report Sunday in the Egyptian weekly Al-Usbua.

"The ship was destroyed at sea near the Sudanese coast," the sources said, adding that the vessel's cargo was to be led through the Sudanese desert and the Sinai Peninsula.

This may be a followup report on a previous Israeli strike. The Iranian dog did not bark in this case because it knows it was in violation of a UN arms embargo against Gaza and Hamas. Sudan has the same problem.

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.
