"You have a source that says he "distributed" 300 million? Cool - 'cause that ain't what your earlier post said."

Are you posting from another universe?!

It's not my claim. It's Perlstein's claim. Perlstein says that only $300 million (i.e. 2% of $15 Billion) has been distributed.

I asked him to supply verification of that claim. His source said *nothing* about $300 million or 2%. His source *did* say, however, that $2 Billion of $15 Billion was funded *last* year, as well as that Bush has asked for $2.8 Billion more for next year, in addition to having 3 more years left to meet his 5 year, $15 Billion pledge.

Now, if you want to claim that the $2 Billion mentioned in Rick's source hasn't been fully distributed, then you'll have to provide supporting evidence; to date, none has yet been shown.

But none of these things are *my* claims. I have no burden to show any of the above.

On the other hand, you and Rick have some explaining to do.

You are having trouble keeping your questionable statements straight.

"Clearly Bush distributed more than that last year, per the source ($2 Billion)."

That's your quote. You have a source that says he distributed that much?

Since you have trouble keeping things straight, I'll repeat myself. I don't know how much has been distributed. All I know is that what you claimed isn't supported by what you cited. Par.
