Why did President Bush defend the woman raped in the Middle East - but not the US woman raped by Halliburton?

President Bush spoke out about the woman raped in the Middle East who was the victim but sentenced to jail and lashings. The King of Egypt then pardoned her.

A woman from America was raped by empoyees of Hallibruton and can't get anyone to do anything. Because they are contracting in Iraq the law doesn't apply to these rapists for some reason. Why isn't President Bush coming to her aid like he did the woman in the Middle East?

This woman from the United States and was doing work in Iraq, was raped by several Halliburton employees and no one cares.

Not one word of help or condemnation from President Bush!

Why didn't he call attention to the rape case of the American woman? Because he didn't want to draw more negative attention to his Contracting company and his war machine?

Why does the Bush administration continue to screw the brave veterans by not providing crucial assistance?

What a crime. Has anyone met a vet back from Iraq who has been caught in the red tape as he or she attempts to recover?

Does it bother you that noone bothered to write down Jesus' faults?We have books on the faults of the founders

of Scientology, Christian Science, Mormonism, etc., but we have only a one-sided picture of Jesus. It doesn't seem fair, does it? (Noone should claim that Jesus had no faults since it is impossible to prove, and makes no sense anyway.)

True cost of Capital Punishment?

Why do people inist that the Death Penalty casts more than Life Without Parole??? I keep hearing people spout this off, but have they really accounted for all of the numbers???

Read and tell me your thoughts:

According to Studentabolition.org states, “A death penalty case costs an average of $2.3 million, about three times the cost of imprisoning someone in a single cell at the highest security level for 40 years.”

The author of this article means for readers to infer that a life without parole case costs only $766,666.66.
Well, $766,666.66 / 40 equals only $19,166.67 which is way lower than the actual cost of imprisioning someone each year according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics. And what about the court costs here?

The $2.3 million figure accounts for all aspects of a death penalty case though, however Studentabolition.org accounts ONLY for the cost of imprisonment of the individual who receives a sentence of life without parole. - A CLEAR manipulation of numbers.

Where is this happening in the U.S. ? Where are the people who are not getting health care?

Hospitals are required by law to treat any health emergency regardless of the patients ability to pay. Poor people have Medicaid, their local county hospital and free clinics to go to. Illegal aliens are not questioned about their immigration status at the local ER, they are taken care of and the hospital. Anyone can call 911 and get a ride to the local ER at any time no questions asked.

Do those without health insurance have to wait longer to see a DR. Yes. Do they have to go to public facilities without all the amenities of a private hospital. Yes. But they still get healthcare.

If you want better health insurance do like I do and PAY for it YOURSELF. Can't afford it, then work more hours, go to school and get a better job, or cut back in your spending in other areas.

Why do Universal Health Care advocates want to make it miserable for everyone to go to the DR?

Universal Health Care, If enacted do you think you will be standing in line with Pelosi, Kennedy et al?

Will Universal Health Care make the health system better for all or will it make it worse for all. Will we all end up with a Medicaid type of coverage with long waiting lists for essential services, government health care workers that don't care about the quality of their service, a system designed & operated in the same model as the U.S. Postal Service. In other words will misery be spread across our land? With the exception of course for those with political power and connections, those who foisted the plan upon the people, the Clintons, Pelosi, Kennedy, the entire Democratic leadership, Do you really believe that they will stand in line with the public & be told that the next available appointment is in 6 months?

can someone explain to me why it's the government's responsibility to bail out borrowers who were told . . . .

. . . .about ARMs and how they function? i keep hearing in the news how the government is supposed to step in and stop these ARMs from adjusting upward and freeze rates where they are still in their introductory phase, but WHY?

when you sign on to an ARM, you are told how the instrument works. you are given a CLEAR explanation of what it is. i have to say: i think it's irresponsibility on the part of the borrower; not the lender.

i DID start this question with 'can anyone expain to me' and i mean it. i'm NOT a finance expert or someone even in the business world. and before someone starts accusing me of being 'upper class and cold,' i guarantee that 98% of the people reading this question earn more money than i do. I'm a school teacher and musician, so i'm just above the poverty level. but i was very careful when choosing my mortgage and buying my home. is there really much more to this than what i'm seeing? seriously....explain.
