The acknowledgement of President Bush's efforts are only as good as his team's ability to communicate them. As you mentioned before, he is not exactly getting credit for this and it hasn't been mentioned in any articles or speeches I've seen associating these events the the President.

Maybe Team Bush is waiting for the Sudan peace deal to come through? The 'Rats may be worried about the Africa issue. It seemed like they timed releases associated with the Valerie Plame issue and the "16 words" to correspond with (and sabotage) Bush's Africa trip last year.

Actually, there are articles and speeches detailing this and this one is an example. These articles have been written since
GWB announced his AIDs program.

Many people have been snorting derision at the Bush administration's modest AIDs contribution to Africa. This article shows that, yet again, it is consistent w/the *grow democracy* doctrine. It makes a dent in immigration, while providing real aid for the 3rd-4th world nations that otherwise would remain an unstable swamp of discontent and a breeding ground for violence and terror.

Surely such acknowledgement will be a part of the Bush reelect plan, later when it is actually happening on the ground.

Though I do hate having to depend on kind works from Kofi to get a bit of good international press.
