AFRICAN AIDS AND US BULL.....

It is a last legacy lap for George W. Bush, as he traipses through five
African nations in six days, touting his great initiatives to combat
HIV/AIDS, malaria and poverty in the ravished nations of Africa. One has
to wonder what in the world he has to boast about.

For the record, it is important to understand that the 2003 President's
Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) allotted 15 billion dollars to
be spent globally over a five year period. to prevent 7 million new
infections, treat 2 million people living with AIDS related illnesses,
and provide care and support for 10 million persons affected by AIDS.

For the record as well, consider that in Sub-Saharan Africa alone,

entire PEPFAR budget every month and a half to sustain its occupation of
Iraq.

At any rate, during the first days of Bush’s jaunt, the slavering media
finally had photos of crowds welcoming, rather than protesting this very
unpopular President. For sure, there were people in Tanzania and who
genuinely seemed delighted by a visit of the great American President
whose generosity is so appreciated. After all, as that country’s
president Jakaya Kikwete told Bush, "hundreds of thousands of mothers'
and children’s lives" have been saved from HIV and malaria,

Some of that is true. Mediations, palliative care and other related
services certainly have helped many thousands of people in this
disease-ravaged part of the world.

But, as usual, the devil is in the details....
