The Media Missed this one!!!!
Don't know whether you heard about this
but Denzel Washington and his family visited
the troops at Brook Army Medical Center , in
San Antonio , Texas (BAMC) the other day. This
is where soldiers who have been evacuated from
Germany come to be hospitalized in the United
States, especially burn victims. There are some
buildings there called Fisher Houses. The Fisher
House is a Hotel where soldiers' families can stay,
for little or no charge, while their soldier is staying
in the Hospital. BAMC has quite a few of these houses
on base, but as you can imagine, they are almost filled
most of the time.
While Denzel Washington was visiting BAMC, they gave
him a tour of one of the Fisher Houses. He asked how
much one of them would cost to build. He took his check
book out and wrote a check for the full amount right there
on the spot. The soldiers overseas were amazed to hear
this story and want to get the word out to the American
public, because it warmed their hearts to hear it.
The question I have is why does:
Alec Baldwin,
Madonna,
Sean Penn and
other Hollywood types
make front page news with their anti-everything
America trash and Denzel Washington's Patriotism
doesn't even make page 3 in the Metro section of
any newspaper except the Local newspaper in San
Antonio .
A true American and friend to all in uniform!
This needs as wide a distribution
as we can create.
GOD BLESS YOU DENZEL
FOR YOUR PATRIOTISM
got this off of facebook but i thought it warranted a mention.

This was well publicised when it happened...
How bout Haliburton writing a check for these injured soldiers? They are the ones profiting. Dick Chenney can burn in hell too.

If you are mad you have to take it up with the Iraqi Insurgents and Alqeda in Iraq, they are ones that injured the troops not Haliburton.

Maybe halliburton was taking care of their own wounded. I don't really have much of a word for yourself.
The Labor Department claims that only 30 Halliburton employees have been killed and 2,471 injured. But a Halliburton spokeswoman, Melissa Norcross, told Knight-Ridder that the company had lost a total of 77 workers in Iraq, Afghanistan and its base in Kuwait. Although the company refused to give a casualty rate for each country, the bulk of the deaths most likely occurred in Iraq, not Kuwait and Afghanistan.

This is rich. I wonder if the democrats will return and refuse George Soro's money now, since he's invested in the devil cheney.

Quote:
In a delicious irony, Foreign Policy magazine editor Mike Boyer reports at the magazine's blog FP Passport that SEC documents reveal that George Soros bought 1.9 million shares of Halliburton stock in the fourth quarter of 2006.
Soros gave more than $20 million to "527" organizations in the 2004 election, many of which used anti-Halliburton bashing as a rallying cry for the anti-war Left.
Writes Boyer: (via Boozhy and Andrew Sullivan)
Normally, I'm willing to overlook the hypocrisy of the liberal elite. If Al Gore and his Hollywood cronies want to fly around on gas-guzzling, atmosphere-polluting private jets while railing against global climate change, I'm willing to overlook it.
But the latest move by globe trotting, hyper-liberal billionaire George Soros borders on being too much.... Soros, of course, is the dean of Democratic money giving. And Halliburton, of course, is the company that embodies everything the Democrats see as evil. Dick Cheney is its former chief, for goodness' sake.
How can you not laugh at this development? The possibilities for amusement are wonderful...
Update: George Soros' fund, Soros Fund Management LLC, owns the shares.

Two main problems exist in American politics right now, Republicans and Democrats. Both sides ar using this war to further their own goals, careers, and pocketbooks. But hey, this is America. That is what we do. Everybody should invest in Haliburton, or Soros, or whatever they are today. Let's all profit. If I can't bring the boys back, I can at least profit from their misery. They are miserable. Anyone who believes otherwise needs to check themselves. But they volunteered right? They wanted some money, so they signed up.
Why do we have a standing army? What are the threats facing us? How are these threats made less threatening as a result of action in Iraq? Can a result that further enhances our security be achieved by our action in Iraq? Dude?
