"Poor records plague Bush AIDS effort By RITA BEAMISH, Associated Press Writer
24 minutes ago
WASHINGTON - President Bush's ambitious AIDS-fighting program in poor countries has pushed so hard for fast results that basic record keeping and accountability often went by the wayside, making it hard to judge the true success, according to government audits and officials.
Investigators found the three-year-old, $15-billion program has over counted and undercounted thousands patients it helped or was unable to verify claims of success by local groups that took U.S. money to prevent the spread of disease or care for AIDS victims and their children".
The Bush administration, with its history of greed, homophobia and racial intolerance has the motive, means and opportunity to ensure this program would fail, all the while lining the pockets of fellow minded neocons.
Now, how are the spin doctors going to flip this to Clintons fault.
Did the "tratior" get you here?

Bush has failed at virtually everything he has ever tried to do. Sadly, his biggest failure has been as President of the United States. He has brought shame and disgrace to our great democracy, while at the same time making the world safer for TERRORISTS.
He failed to find our one true enemy ,OBL and Al Quada, but choose to invade a country that was the most pro-western and least likely to harbor terrorists in the middle east. The best Iraq could have done to attack the U.S. was to use helium balloons with a cherry bomb and detonator on the end. They were NO THREAT to anyone.
And now Bush has created the world's #1 training ground for terrorists, and has given Al Quada what it so desperately needed: a new recruiting poster. That organization is stronger than it ever was before 9/11. History will cast no doubt that the Bush Presidency was a disaster for the entire world.

Seriously, I feel sorry for you liberals. The Bush admin has been so aggressively trying to fight AIDS in Africa that there hasn't been time to keep careful records. Nobody is perfect, but at least he is trying his damndest to fight this epidemic. Gee whiz, what are you guys gonna compalin about next?
Clinton didn't do hardly anything. That's not spin, it's simply the truth. This particular story has nothing to do with Clinton though. Sure it would be nice to have careful records, but that is difficult in situations like this, dealing with poor uneducated people living in third world conditions with little technology.
seriously. WTF is your problem? you really have a lot of growing up to do.

I'd like to know at what point in history other countries' medical problems became our problems. Let's drive our country FURTHER onto the spikes of perpetual indebtedness and being the world's rent-a-cop, why don't we...on second thought, send those countries a nice letter informing them that if they kept their PANTS on more consistently, they'd have less HIV, and that if they spent all the money we gave em on BOOKS instead of GUNS, they'd have higher literacy and less violence etc. But, you can't help a person that doesn't want to be helped....don't trash on Bush, take issue with the screwed-up countries out there doing it to their own people...not everything in the world is automatically america's fault or responsibility. There's a laundry list of countries around the world that need to pull their socks up and take responsibility for their own situations...maybe the best way to get them to do it is to drop them squarely on their own butts...and stand back...

Uh, it would seem that some of the wording you have down here doesn't quite add up to the original story and where are you claiming this to come from. Now I read the original story in my paper here in Wisconsin and it didn't read like the one your're printing having some words added and thoughts twisted. Oh and aren't you paranoid, a sign of a true liberal to think everyone is going to blame it on Clinton. He wouldn't take credit for any of his screwups anyways. So now try to get your stories straight.

Clinton is the 'traitor' and this article is incorrect. Clinton
did not do anything for the aids epidemic in Africa and
over half of these countries in Africa are corrupt.

Yes, you did it.
When you wrote "traitor" everyone thought you were talking about Democrats.
Even Democrats thought you meant Democrats.
Throwing money at problems is a big waste. Foreign Corrupted Governments get the money.
Bush tried. Who knows if it did any good.
Clinton never even tried. He was busy having fun & games.

Despite his efforts to assist in such a humanitarian cause you would prefer to focus on the negative. I understand that the left would like to lose the war in Iraq in order to further their political power but now they are willing to toss aside AIDS victims as well?
To see a traitor and a worthless human being look in the mirror.
Since Clinton made NO effort to assist AIDS victims in Africa this is hardly his fault.

Yes it did. I wanted to see how anyone could possibly claim a Bush success. I see now you are being sarcastic, and I am relieved.

Is it Jan. 5th yet? Just goes to prove that there are no limits to the number or types of failures that Bush can be directly associated with.
