"Worrisome Situation" "AP - ROME - President Bush, denounced by tens of thousands of anti-American protesters on the streets of Rome, defended his humanitarian record on Saturday to Pope Benedict XVI, who expressed concern about 'the worrisome situation in Iraq.'"The president is wandering in the wilderness of Europe this week, looking for approval among his peers. If, that is, he has any peers.Using the time-tested Bush Presidential Technique, he promised to Do Something about global warming, AIDS, Iraq, Iran, Putin, et. tedious cetera.One notable thing: President Bush promised to send $60 billion to Africa to fight AIDS. Only two questions in my mind. 1. Will this money mostly (or entirely) go to good Christian organizations to teach chastity to the Africans? I'm pretty certain it won't go to provide free condoms. Those, we know, promote naughty sexual activity. Before condoms, nobody had sex except with their wife/husband. 2. Is this the same $60 billion the G-8 (for G - 8 read Rich) nations promised last year to fight poverty in Africa? Remember Africa Aid last year, featuring Tony Blair trying to find something to distract the voters from his disastrous Bush's Poodle image?Looking again at the AP caption - Isn't it wonderful how Presidents and Popes and suchlike can find the mot juste? The Worrisome Situation In Iraq." Marvelous!
