White House spokesman Josh Earnest said the administration was "working urgently" to gather further information about the attack and strongly condemned any and all chemical weapons use. He also said the U.S. formally requested that the United Nations investigate the site of the alleged weapons use by Syrian President Bashar Assad's forces. "The United States urges all Syrian parties including the government and opposition, to provide immediate access to any and all sites of importance to the investigation and to ensure security for the UN investigative team," Earnest said in a statement. The White House also said that those responsible for chemical weapons use "must be held accountable."

Egyptian Copts are the last vestiges of an Egyptian civilization which predates the Islamic invasion and one of the last vestiges of what once was a far more pluralistic society now that Egypt is also almost completely Judenrein. The violence which the Muslim Brotherhood had directed toward Egypt’s Christians has been amply covered in stories about churches being burned and nuns being humiliated. But to put the situation in historic context, this story from the Egyptian Independent is worth reading:<br /><br />Minya churches canceled on Sunday the second mass, holding only a brief one. Meanwhile, prayers did not take place at other churches which were attacked. Priest Selwanes Lotfy of the Virgin Mary and Priest Ibram monastery in Degla, south of Minya, said, “We did not hold prayers in the monastery on Sunday for the first time in 1,600 years.”<br /><br />It’s not every day you can say the situation is the worst it has been in 1,600 years. Under such circumstances, perhaps it’s time for the White House to choose a side rather than continue its dawdling. Let us hope when they choose, they recognize the Muslim Brotherhood for what it is rather than what its English speaking spokesmen tell credulous American officials and analysts.<br /><br />.....<br /><br />Why do they hate the Christians?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-53652947320437637902013-08-22T16:23:52.622-04:002013-08-22T16:23:52.622-04:00In Zimbabwe a hip operation would cost TRILLIONS i...In Zimbabwe a hip operation would cost TRILLIONS if you could find somebody other than a witch doctor to preform it.<br /><br />Your comparisons, Rufus, are nearly always a cause of a good belly laugh in your readers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-90094425954850136152013-08-22T16:06:42.511-04:002013-08-22T16:06:42.511-04:00Rufus IIThu Aug 22, 12:05:00 PM EDT

As for Perry, he can argue that Community First Choice program isn’t related to Obamacare’s core coverage expansion, which is really what people think of when they hear the word “Obamacare”.<br /><br />But the result is the same: you’ve got Noonan saying that the Community First Choice program is the reason people hate Obamacare even though she seems to want something exactly like the CFC program to exist. You’ve got Perry asking the Obama administration for $100 million from a program created as part of Obamacare even as he swears the program isn’t Obamacare.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2013/08/22/rick-perry-loves-the-part-of-obamacare-peggy-noonan-hates/?wprss=rss_ezra-klein&clsrd" rel="nofollow">Rick Perry Loves him some, er . . .

That’s the best starting point for understanding why Obamacare has to look the way it does; it’s also often the best way to see what’s wrong with alleged Republican solutions.<br /><br />So, ask the following question: how is it that many Americans with preexisting conditions have health insurance now? The immediate answer is, they get it from their employers. But why do employers do that? Well, employment-based health insurance is tax-advantaged: it’s a benefit employers can provide that isn’t counted as taxable income, which makes it better, in some cases, than offering higher wages instead. <br /><br />But for company health plans to receive this tax-advantaged status, they have to obey ERISA rules, which essentially require that the same benefits be made available to all full-time employees — no discrimination based on health history, and you can’t provide benefits only to your highest-paid workers. So employer-based insurance is, when you come down to it, a lot like Obamacare, with enforced non-discrimination and a fair bit of subsidization of less-well-paid workers.<br /><br />Now comes Rove, and his big idea is to . . . . . <br /><br /><a href="http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/08/22/karl-rove-shouldnt-pretend-he-understands-health-policy/?_r=0" rel="nofollow">Primer</a>Rufus IIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05297231055991566183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-14069750504547999532013-08-22T12:05:45.216-04:002013-08-22T12:05:45.216-04:00Only a Moron of Heroic Proportions could argue tha...Only a Moron of Heroic Proportions could argue that his operation didn't cost anything "because he had insurance."
