The Bush administration answered a flat-out "no" on Wednesday to United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan's request that the United States donate $1 billion in 2005 to a U.N. global fund to combat AIDS, the Associated Press reported.
"It's not going to happen," the wire service quoted U.S. AIDS coordinator Randall Tobias as saying. Tobias noted that Washington already is the world's largest donor to fighting AIDS.
Annan made his plea at the International AIDS Conference in Thailand, where he announced that the Global Fund to fight AIDS was well short of its $3.6 billion goal for 2005, the AP reported.
A billion for AIDS is a billion in the pockets of Kofi Annan and his cronies. Money right down the toilet.
Put some ice on it, Kofi.
Oh, goody. Annan's gonna have to cover his behind some other way.
Good. I always love seeing President Bush letting his sworn enemies know in no uncertain terms, that the can go to hell. (See NAACP convention for other recent activity on this front.)
LOL. U beat me by less than a minute.
He should ask France or Germany to contribute to his 401K.
We spent lots of good money to get rid of Saddam Hussein. Let the cowardly Euros and Frogs fund the AIDS efforts.
My conputer is running great today! Just did a complete system scan, updated all the virus stuff, spy ware, etc....
I don't think it's Annan's 401 K he's worried about :) I wondered if this loony request for so much money is because the UN's trying to fudge its books one step ahead of the investigators.
Great point. Who knows with this corrupt organization.
Bush should tell Kofi "kiss my shirt tails!" I gave at the office.
BILLIONS OF US DOLLARS!
That way they could have been exposed for the race baiting Marxist Socialist Democrat Blinded Liberals that they are.
Of course if it would have gone good for the President....the Alphabet Gang wouldn't have shown it......So...either way it was a lose lose proposition.
SIGH.....
I don't know why we aren't refusing to give the UN even one shiny, thin dime until the mother-of-all audits has been performed on the entire dang organization.
Hey Kofi....here's the answer to your social disease problem.
1. Tell your fellow-Africans and others to stop practicing sodomy.
2. Sell the U.N. property to Donald Trump and take your whole gang to Paris with the profits.
Just how stupid does he think we are? We are already supporting this with tons of OUR money. He needs to get a real job!
Indeed, some 40% of the budget of the NIH's National Institute on Drug Abuse is spent on AIDS-related research, the logic being that AIDS is a "medical consequence" of drug abuse.....
I gave at the office, thanks.
KERRY wouldn't have said no.
