1. please feed the cube rats

[rodeodance]

2. aids relief is top priorty of his administation

[rodeodance]

3. bush--africa--is a continant of promise (oil?)

[rodeodance]

6. sorry i only caught the end of it. He talked of the debt relief (like it

was all his idea)

[wiggs]

8. Bush is caving to UK pressure

Blair came to get Africa aid and global warming help. He didn't get it. In fact he looked bad in asking.

Within days, additional memos are released from Blair's office regarding the run up to the war.

Within days after that, Bush says aids relief is administration top priority.

Coincidence?

[rodeodance]

18. well, I do not know if it is a coincidence--but......the memo hurt Blair

also--so guess i tend to lean to no.

[wiggs]

19. Blair is a lame duck...out anyway

He is going to step down within months, so they say.

So I"m not sure how much it hurts him. Further, the memos cast UK officials as fairly competent and aware of much more than the US.

What may have hurt Blair personally was missing a chance to do something for his legacy....aid to Africa.

4. Followed immediately by, "Will there be a verdict today?"

:rofl:

[rodeodance]

7. yes--the jacko verdict --thye could hardly wait to get back to it.

[fob]

17. The following bit-o-tripe was heard on my local news last night...

"Experts tell us why this upcoming week may very well be the LAST week of the Jacko trial"

I was *this* close to killing my TV upon hearing such a pearl of wisdom.

20. 10 days ago, local news was interrupted for "Breaking News"

Jacko's jury was breaking for the weekend.

After reading the bulletin, they returned to their scheduled story.

It's a ABC local affiliate, the one that's "on your side."

5. Isn't it interesting, the number of news conferences

he has had so far. It has to be more than the entire first four years. He is in trouble and he knows it.

[rodeodance]

9. well, you know Blair wants his legecy to be about his work in Africa--so

Jr. has to ante him up!!

[Coexist]

14. I wonder if the leaks will stop once the aid to Africa is raised

[CottonBear]

10. Info for cube rats please. Who is asking questions?

Is that Faux news guy who freaked out at the Dean/Reid press conference there?

[rodeodance]

16. bush did not take questions after the brief news conference.

[Coexist]

11. was that it? No mention of Iran or North Korea or his impeachment?

[LightningFlash]

12. Yes bush, cheney...Pretend you give a crap about africa.

Just like you gave a crap about Iraq, in some foolhardy attempt to raise the poll numbers. :eyes: :eyes:

Go back to Pat Robertson. Tell him he's failed and will go to prison. :puke:

[charlyvi]

13. If he gave a crap about Africa,

he would address the genocide in Darfur. But then again we know he doesn't give a crap about Africa. After all, if you're poor or being killed by your countrymen, it must be your own fault. You know, let the market settle it all. :sarcasm:

[LightningFlash]

15. Nah, it's still the fault of those commie pinkin libruls. Just like WWII.

:eyes:

[charlyvi]

21. And our loss in Vietnam...

and the Great Depression, and the Cold War, and the crucifixion Jeebus, and you get the point..... :(
