warns: “The ‘innova- tion’ center appears to be one more way in which the health-care law is going to inter- fere with the prac- tice of medicine, and one that physicians should start paying more attention to.” It’s not just physi-
cians who need to pay attention. Every tax- payer has a stake. At the end of the month, this shadowy agency will start doling out $1 billion in grants to payment experi- ment groups and da- ta-tracking system builders. Sounds like yet another pipeline
for political payoffs and Chicago-style boodle that will re- sult in less patient autonomy, fewer health care choices, more government in- trusion and lower- quality care. Final diagnosis:
The Obamacare beast won’t die until it’s
eradicated complete- ly, root and branch.

METZLER from 9
“Terrorism continues to find sustenance and support from a dangerous osmosis of ideologies, ambitions, training and opera- tions among the syn- dicate of terrorism in the region.” France’s Le Figa-
ro newspaper de- scribed the suspect, “The young man is 24 years old and a French citizen. He has visited Afghani- stan numerous times and claims to be a follower of Al-Qaida. He also claims that he wanted to avenge the deaths of Pales- tinian children.” A home grown terrorist who apparently liked motorcycles and foot- ball (soccer) but who became a follower of radical Islam. But why kill French soldiers of North Afri- can origin? Symbol- ism. Simply put the parachute regiment among the best in the French military, has served proudly and effectively in Afghani- stan and equally in Algeria during the 1950’s. Jidhadi mili- tants have a special hatred for the Les Paras no matter what their ethnicity. As for the rational-
ization, why attack fellow French of the Muslim faith, look at recent Al- Qaida attacks in Iraq over
the past week; pre- meditated bombings killing scores of fel- low Muslims. It’s called terrorism and intimidation. The attack at the Jewish school in Tou- louse was a poignant reminder of his white heat hatred in what the accused killer told the France 24 media outlet “the Jews kill our brothers and sis- ters in Palestine.” In other words, this was to avenge purported Israeli actions. The timing of the
unprovoked attacks are curious but come during a contentions presidential election campaign and, near- ly overlooked, during the week marking the fiftieth anniver-
sary of the end of the Algerian conflict between France and national ist rebels which ended in 1962. This nearly forgot- ten war is definitively described in Alistair Horne’s book “Savage War of Peace; Algeria 1954-1962.” Could Merah be
part of a wider net- work of sleeper cells across France? Very likely. The t ragedy in
Toulouse serves as a poignant reminder to Americans, un- comfortable with the thought of jihadi in- spired terror, that such “sleeper cells” are very likely in the USA too and can be activated for varied terrorist missions.
We have seen attacks on U.S. military bases such as the Fort Hood massacre, threats against schools and synagogues, the foiled Times Square car bomb in 2010, and naturally plots against mass transit systems. Given the carnage in France, this is precisely why Congressman Peter King’s (R-NY) hear- ings on the threat posed by Iranian- connected Hezbollah “sleeper cells” inside the USA take on a new urgency.
