BAGHDAD — The U.S. military says a group of Iraqi soldiers has donated $500 to help California wildfire victims.
Iraqi Col. Abbas Fadhil at the Besmaya range complex south of Baghdad says his troops want to send a message to the American people with the donation that “we are a family.”
A handful of wildfires raged through Southern California earlier this month. The blazes damaged or destroyed about 1,000 homes.
The military says it’s the fourth donation sent by the Iraqis to Americans hit by tragedy. Thursday’s statement says they also raised $1,500 for victims of hurricanes Gustav and Ike and donated $500 to the National Sept. 11 Memorial.

POLITICIANS & DIAPERS NEED TO BE CHANGED OFTEN AND FOR THE SAME REASON
A person properly schooled in right and wrong is safe with any weapon. A person with no idea of good and evil is unsafe with a knitting needle, or the cap from a ballpoint pen.
I remain pessimistic given the way BATF and the anti gun crowd have become tape worms in the guts of the Republic. - toad

Somehow I doubt we'll see this on the front page or as a lead item on any broadcast media.
...even before I read MHI, my response to seeing a poster for the stars of the latest Twilight movies was "I see 2 targets and a collaborator".

The avalanche has already started. It is too late for the pebbles to vote.
