Bush decreases funds for AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria.

As President Bush tours Africa this week, the White House is touting its record fighting disease. “The president is requesting an increase for our contribution to the Global Fund [to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria], an increase above his last year request from $300 million to $500 million,” Mark Dybul, the president’s global AIDS coordinator, asserted. This figure, however, is misleading. The Washington Post reports:

Bush did request $300 million for the Global Fund for the current fiscal year, but Congress decided to go further and approved $841 million. So even though Bush’s request for $500 million for the next fiscal year is higher than he requested the year before, in reality it would cut the contribution back from the $841 million it is getting in cold hard cash this year.

Dybul “acknowledged that when pressed,” but added, “You don’t want to pile up money.”

    Bush trying to buy friends with immaginary money they will never see

    Lets see how many European leaders visit him before he leaves office

    NONE


  2. katy says:

    as soon as i heard that he was going to africa,
    i thought, “uh oh… he’s cutting funds to africa”…

    Dybul “acknowledged that when pressed,” but added, “You don’t want to pile up money.”

    Perhaps someone could explain this concept to defense contractors and oil companies…


  4. Fritz says:

    But of course…Bush is a LIAR.


  5. RUCerious says:

    Yes, piled up money for fighting aids and malaria is a terrible thing to see.


  6. RUCerious says:

    I’m frankly surprised he didn’t tell the Africans to make their own loaves and fishes by embracing Xianity.


  7. The Republic of Stupidity says:

    by embracing Xianity.

    Embracing insanity? Did I read something wrong here?


  8. Anjuna Laguna says:

    Charity begins at home to be honest


  9. AngryOne says:

    On his five nation swing through Africa, President Bush once again revealed the two inescapable truths of his AIDS diplomacy. First, Bush never hesitates to use AIDS funding to provide air cover in his failing struggle to sway global opinion. And second, even thousands of miles from home, George W. Bush will kowtow to the religious right back in the United States.

    For the details, see:
    “Bush’s AIDS Politics.”


  10. Merlin says:

    Bush personally has no compassion for anyone except the rich and powerful. His trying to make a case for that, is a joke.


  11. wt says:

    Xianity = Christianity.

    But I disagree with the point implied by RUcerious.

    Comment by Merlin — February 18, 2008 @ 6:44 pm

    Merlin, the only objection I would have to your statement is that the feeling Bush has for the rich and powerful isn’t really compassion.

    It’s more a sense of selfishly entitled elitism. Which, admittedly, is about as close to compassion as those types can get.


  13. Merlin says:

    Comment by ralph the wonder llama — February 18, 2008 @ 7:03 pm

    Yes, you are completely right. I was being sarcastic.

    “…selfishly entitled elitism.” is spot on!

    Since there is no open thread, I am posting this here.

    To anyone who lives in Lake County, IL, here’s a rich email I got from my POS rep Mark Kirk:

    February 18, 2008

    Dear Ms. XXXX

    Thank you for contacting me regarding the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. I appreciate hearing from you and understand your concerns.

    Warrantless wiretapping of American citizens is unconstitutional. Any attempt to subvert the constitution in this manner is illegal and I strongly oppose any legislation to do so.

    Recently, the Director of National Intelligence (DNI), Admiral John McConnell, informed Congress that under a 1978 law, the National Security Agency could not record communications between two foreign terrorists on foreign soil if the communication was patched through a U.S. telecommunications system. Due to this legal hurdle, the United States had no access to the most critical intelligence–inviting a massive intelligence failure on the scale of September 11th.

    Admiral McConnell is not a partisan. Under President George H.W. Bush, McConnell served as the Intelligence Officer (J2) for the General Colin Powell. Under President Clinton, he served as director of the National Security Agency. Admiral McConnell came out of retirement to assume his new role as the DNI.

    When our foreign wiretap law was enacted in 1978, telephones were plugged into to walls. Cell phones, e-mail, and the Internet didn’t exist. Osama bin Laden was in college and Ayman al Zawahiri was in medical school. Today, these men are responsible for the murder of more than 3,000 Americans. Their lieutenants attacked U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, nearly sunk the USS Cole. They murdered Britons, Spaniards, Iraqis and Afghans. They talk to each other via cell and satellite phones, e-mail and Internet chat.

    We must allow our brave men and women in uniform to access foreign communications to produce critical, lifesaving intelligence. In past weeks, our soldiers dealt with a nuclear reactor shutdown in North Korea, a HAMAS takeover in Gaza, Venezuelan arms purchases from Iran, the war in Iraq, the war in Afghanistan, the rise of the Taliban in Pakistan, narco-traffickers in Colombia, genocide in Darfur and an insurgency in Somalia.

    On August 1, 2007, Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) introduced S. 1927, a bill to clarify the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act to allow wiretapping of foreign terrorists on foreign soil. This legislation has a sunset clause of 180 days, after which the Congress can evaluate and refine the program. The bill passed the Senate on a bipartisan vote of 60-28. I joined the overwhelming majority of my Democrat and Republican colleagues in voting for S. 1927.

    Thank you again for contacting me. Please contact me again for visit my website, http://www.house.gov/kirk, should any other issues of concern to you come before the Congress.

    Sincerely,

    Mark Steven Kirk
    Member of Congress

    To which I replied:

    You are a lying sack of crap and you know it. How dare you insult my intelligence by writing a letter like this. For your constitutes who know nothing about what you are trying to get away with, they might buy into this. I have been following this for some time and your ingenuiness is appalling.

    I cannot wait for the day that you no longer “represent” us, for you never have.

    Your lying is amazing and how you can send out lies like this to the people who elected you simply amazes me.

    You do not deserve to represent us. You are a disgrace.

    ===========================================

    Bartblebee definitely flamed out all on his own and actually showed up a day later under another login explaining at great length why he wasn’t here. It would have taken far more than Tracy1-99 to silence Bartlebee.

  94. The Republic of Stupidity says:

    Bartles and I crossed words once, but I usually got along w/ him, Sabyen.

    Those nights when he was off on a tear, I usually stayed out of it.

    And almost all of the time, he had a valid point to make.


  95. Sabyen91 says:

    Oh, ralph, my mind went way to far down a dark path with that post. Ann Coulter should NEVER be in the same post as cream pie. Brain bleach needed, STAT.

  98. The Republic of Stupidity says:

    Right, Sabyen… Bartlebee was no troll.

  102. ralph the wonder llama says:

    Sorry about the Coultergeist reference, Sabyen. I should be more mideful of its effect on people.

    As far as Bartlebee goes, I can’t make the same claim as TRoS; when Bartles was on a tear, sometimes I stayed out of it, but sometimes I just had to poke the wasp’s nest with a stick. Although that makes it sound like I did it just for fun, which isn’t accurate. I only argued with him when I thought he was off the rails. At those times he was very troll-like but you’re right, he went all out.

    And TRoS is right, he almost always had a valid point to make. The problem was, when people disagreed with him, he paid no attention to the valid points THEY had to make.


  103. The Republic of Stupidity says:

    True, Ralph… Bartles didn’t know when to stop, and he couldn’t always acknowledge others’ points…

    Its interesting that Bush’s 2008 and 2009 recommendations come to a combined total of $800M, still less than the 2008 figure already approved by Congress.

    I had seen idiotic posts by our brain-dead troll, but this one takes the prize.

    Our troll obviously doesn’t realise -or care to know- that there is a whole world beyond the American borders, where people are neither Democrats, nor Republicans.

    Had the troll cared to quickly search the web, he would have learned that 70% of all the people infected with the HIV virus live in sub-Saharan Africa -not exactly a stronghold of Democratic constituency.

    This troll’s sheer imbecility and idiocy is simply breathtaking…

    From the Global Fund’s website:

    * More than 13 million children under the age of 15 have been orphaned by HIV/AIDS, and this number is projected to double by 2010.

What they mean by “save” in this context is that people will use the rebate to pay down debt. It’s as we’re reading the journal in Wonderland.

    Oh, I’m ashamed of myself for even indulging a troll this much, but:

    http://www.thinkbabynames.com/meaning/0/Tracy

    The boy’s and girl’s name Tracy \t-ra-cy\ is pronounced TRAY-see. It is of Irish and Gaelic origin, and its meaning is “warlike”. Also possibly a nickname for Theresa (Greek) “late summer” or derived from a Norman French place name based on a Gallic Latin personal name, Thrax or Thracius, whose meaning has been lost. The character Tracy Lord, played by Katherine Hepburn in the 1940 film “The Philadelphia Story”, made the name popular. Actress Tracey Ullman; tennis player Tracy Austin; singer Tracy Chapman; swimmer Tracy Caulkins.

    Hmmm… five examples of the name given… all of them female… interesting…


  188. ralph the wonder llama says:

    I just went and looked at the links T2 provided for the origin of the name Tracy, purportedly to prove that it was a masculine (?) name.

    If that was he intent, why provide a link to its origin as a surname? How would that demonstrate the point T2 was struggling mightily to make, much like a cockroach trying to drag a Snickers bar?

    It is amusing that he linked to the surname Tracy. He would only be more embarassed if his name was Vagina Tracy.


  192. Sabyen91 says:

    But Tracy, right now Tracy doesn’t mean that. Or there wouldn’t be so many women named Tracy.


  193. Sabyen91 says:

    Your name isn’t Thracius…it is Tracy. Hehe.


  194. bs says:

    it’s all in iraq to replenish his coffers……..this crap outta enrage the american folks


  195. Sabyen91 says:

    No, very few first names come from surnames unless you are Scandanavian. And no, Tracy is more Irish than Norwegian, girl.


  196. ralph the wonder llama says:

    Apparently, a link that says the opposite of what T2 is arguing, is by default an indecent link.

    And T2 continues to extol the “origin” of her name, as if it were relevant in today’s English-speaking society.


  197. Sabyen91 says:

    Hmm, since I didn’t write #247…


  198. ralph the wonder llama says:

    Thanks for the entertainment, T2. You’re a good sport. The intellectual equivalent of badminton, maybe, but a good sport nonetheless. And hey, even a badminton birdie is fun to smack around if you’re drunk enough.


  199. Sabyen91 says:

    Hehe, badminton is cool…


  200. Sabyen91 says:

    That poor birdie though, I believe, has a new name.


  201. ralph the wonder llama says:

    Is it just the way this thread is displayed on my screen, or is that at least the third time T2 has referenced post #x IN post #x?

    Why have you returned ?

    Didn’t you make a big enough ass out of yourself the 1st time , with your lies and weak-ass attempts to deflect criticism away from Chimpy , the worst president in US history ?

    Get lost……..


  203. Sabyen91 says:

    ralph, every time she has referenced a post it has been wrong. I am thinking her old posts have been deleted.


  204. Sabyen91 says:

    McMetal, don’t talk about big asses. Don’t tell her those jeans make her look fat please.


  205. MCMetal says:

    This Tracy is like a retarded child ………..

    Chimpy ?


  206. Sabyen91 says:

    Tracy has a gender issue. She thinks she is male.


  207. Shayne says:

    Tracey, girlfriend, take your Midol you’re flipping back and forth between irritable and weepy. You’re making all of us women look weak.


  208. Sabyen91 says:

    Come on, the girl is bloated, Shayne. Can’t blame her.


  209. Shayne says:

    And hey, even a badminton birdie is fun to smack around if you’re drunk enough.

    You give Tracey way too much credit. She acts more like a Playschool baseball, you know the one that comes on that little tee for toddlers.


  210. Shayne says:

    What happened to Bert the Perv. I think he’d probably like to start a website with Tracey’s picture on it.


  211. Sabyen91 says:

    Bert only likes Hillary!!!!


  212. Sabyen91 says:

    I thought he was satire at first. Eww.


  213. Shayne says:

    Bert has issues. As long as Bushco is wiretapping they should probably look into him.


  214. Sabyen91 says:

    I thought he was a normal troll until I saw that website. That is the sign of a sick mind.


  215. Sabyen91 says:

    And yet, your name is Tracy…hmm.


  216. Sabyen91 says:

    And you are a Tracy. A female. Eh?


  217. Sabyen91 says:

    Oh, you are not still on the rag, Tracy? Give it time.


  218. Sabyen91 says:

    Tracy, just stop with the post numbers. You are never right. By the way, pack mentality? Doesn’t that include you feminine types?


  219. Sabyen91 says:

    Huh? Would you like to take a poll? Well, since you are Tracy I am guessing yes.


  220. Sabyen91 says:

    Heh, confused says the girl that says she likes girls.


  221. Sabyen91 says:

    Well, Tracy, I am sorry you have such a girly name. It is time for me to make my Irish goodbye. If you don’t get it…Google it.


  222. Sabyen91 says:

    Wow, I can’t sleep and I come back and girly-man is obsessing over me. Hey, Tracy, did you realize your name is kind of porn-starish? And not John Holmes or Ron Jeremy. You are a bottom.


  223. Sabyen91 says:

    Hmm, well, it appears I have been around the net. A couple of them aren’t mine but wow, I should be ashamed of spreading my comments around. Eh, at least I am a man.


  224. Sabyen91 says:

    Kill me if I google Tracy2. Obsession is NOT a virtue, girl.


  225. Sabyen91 says:

    Gotta try to sleep again. Sweet dreams everybody…well, almost everybody.


  226. Shayne says:

    Another follower chimes in. You guys have the pack mentality.

    Comment by Tracy2 — February 19, 2008 @ 1:00 am

    Or great minds think alike. Of course the pack always goes after the weakest prey. I guess that’s you.


  227. fletc3her says:

    This is hilarious. Of course tracy2 is a man. What self respecting troll would use their real gender on a Web site? I’m sure tracy2 pretends to be a teenage girl on all the message boards. Unfortunately for tracy2 the Republican congressmen are more partial to the little boys.


  228. Jeremy Henderson says:

    Remember, we’re spending 10 billion a month in Iraq…

    Heck, there’s at least 12 billion in “unaccounted funds” sent to Iraq. So the amount of cash we spend fighting deadly disease in Africa is 1/14th of the amount we just upped and lost sending to Iraq in plastic wrapped cash.


  229. RUCerious says:

    If tracytwo insists it’s a male, then I dub thee DicklessTracyTwo.


  230. The Republic of Stupidity says:

    Dickless Tracy2… our own in-house eunuch…

    … and you’re still here. have you no life?

    being conservative is a lonely existence.

    This is the troll CT or CompTROLLER could you flag him.


  233. Shayne says:

    Comment by Shayne — February 19, 2008 @ 1:39 am

    It’s more like it takes many of you to give the appearance of intelligence.

    Comment by Tracy2 — February 19, 2008 @ 12:50 pm

    So what are you saying your alphaomegaidiot too because I wasn’t talking to you girlfriend.


  234. Zooey says:

    If Tracy think TRoS is rhf, then whatever gender it is, it’s too stupid to breathe.


  235. alphainfinityomega says:

    Comment by Zooey — February 19, 2008 @ 1:20 pm

    Don’t you have another exam to study for?

    Comment by Tracy2 — February 19, 2008 @ 7:32 pm

    No she doesn’t; all hat no cattle.
    BTW. Shayne suçks !!
