You're so right! How DARE I criticize the President!!! Thanks for taking me to the woodshed. I will just join the amen corner, and smile as he throws $15 billion to "Africa" while shafting disabled American veterans their $5 billion. I am really a horrible traitor to my party for thinking otherwise. Thank you for setting me straight!
Bush is working within the system and we all know what that is like! Not one Party or Adm. has changed this law since 1891! Before it is all over he will keep his promise. In the meantime there has not been one red cent of the 15 billion paid to Africa. Bush will honor the pledge if Africa complies with conditions and goals that must be met. If these things do not happen it would be like throwing the money down a rat hole. Bush knows this! I just take umbrage because Bush can be knocked for a lot of things, but not his credibility with the military.
Clinton /Gore lopped 40% off of defence spending, do you think changing this law even entered their minds?
