British and Jordanian special ops taking fight to ISIL in Libya

Daily Mail:
The SAS has been fighting ISIS on the ground in Libya since the beginning of the year according to King Abdullah of Jordan.

Senior ISIS commanders have been fleeing into Libya as their control of large areas of Iraq and Syria is being weakened.

Details of a secret briefing between King Abdullah and US congressional leaders which was leaked to a specialist Middle East security website confirm the elite warriors presence in the failed north African state.

According to Middle East Eye, King Abdullah told the US politicians that his own special forces were operational in Libya alongside the SAS.

The leaked document states: 'His Majesty [King Abdullah] said he expects a spike in a couple of weeks and Jordanians will be imbedded [sic] with British SAS, as Jordanian slang is similar to Libyan slang.'

The King continued: 'The problem is bigger than ISIL, this is a third world war, this is Christians, Jews working with Muslims against Khawarej, outlaws.'

He added: 'The problem is many countries are still living the cold war, but they have to get beyond that and focus on the third world war.'
...
I have suspected that special ops units were fighting in Libya when reports of sniper fire taking out ISIL leaders kept coming in.   It is one of the things that the Brit SAS is very good at and the Jordanians special ops are some of the best in the Middle East.  They have been left with the task of trying to clean up the mess left behind by Obama and Clinton in their Libyan adventure of "leading from behind."

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. 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
