In the meantime, Soros found his legion of honest Bush-haters, in groups like MoveOn and ACT, to be useful tools in his further grimy speculative binges. Following the Kerry defeat, MoveOn, the Center for American Progress, and other progressive groups on the Soros dole, targeted Vice President Dick Cheney and Halliburton, the giant oil and defense contractor that was profitting mightily off Bush and Cheney’s Iraq imperial misadventure.
The barrage of attacks on Halliburton drove the company stock down, from a peak of $40 down to $26–at which point Soros began buying up Halliburton shares. Between the third quarter of 2005, and the fourth quarter of 2006, Soros bought 2 million shares of Halliburton, at an average price of just over $31.
As the media attacks on Halliburton–in part, driven by Soros’s anti-Bush/Cheney and anti-war zeal–died down by late 2006, Halliburton shares quickly rebounded. By early 2008, with Halliburton shares nearing $50, Soros had made an estimated $40 million in clear profit, making him one of the larger Bush-Cheney war profiteers. “
Cold blooded monster.
The clown must've drawn the short straw, the one all attention's drawn to my friend.
The Soros leech is but one of many dirtballs. *Kind* of a club, y'know? LOL
When I was at the USAMPS school at Lackland many years ago I met an old Texan. He tried to explain these sorts of things to me. Did so by showing me how to catch a *lizard*.
Learned by wiggling a finger on my left hand in front of a lizard, the lizard will watch it very intently. As it does it gets grabbed with the right hand.
Sounds simply, eh?
It is.
Watch the right hand, *not* the left finger.
Capiche? :^)
