What an attack on Iran might look like

1. Stopping Iran’s Nuclear Program with Force - What an attack by US forces on the Iranian Nuclear Capabilities would entail, and the consequences that would follow.  (From NPR)

2. Obama approves new team to interrogate Terrorists - Experts from numerous security agencies will team up to interrogate high value Terrorist detainees.  Which is a much better plan than outsourcing to Blackwater.  (From the Washington Post)

3. Blackwater and the CIA were Pretty Cozy - Like I was saying up there ^  Getting your own guys to do the work, as opposed to outsourcing to Blackwater… is probably a good idea.  Remember the covert Assassination Teams that were training but never sent into the field?  This was the CIA program Director Panetta informed Congress about, years after they weren’t informed about it.  Right… Blackwater was hired at one point to BE those teams.  (From the LA Times and The Nation)

5. Nonprofit Medicare spends 4% on Overhead.  Private insurers spend 30% – Rep. Anthony Weiner of New York says Public Option or nothing.  Something like Medicare for all Americans will help bring costs down.  40% of Americans already have that single-payer plan.  With those kinds of numbers staring you in the face, are private insurance companies really neccessary? Rep. Weiner asked: “What do Private Insurance Companies do to provide healthcare?” …   …  They don’t do a single checkup, operation, etc.  So what do they do?  …  …   …  Um.  No takeover of the doctors or hospitals, the Public option is just a financing mechanism.  It’s at the very least a fascinating perspective.  And Libertarian Free-Market Capitalists heads shall explode.    (From the Nation and Morning Joe).
