#1 Yes, Kofi. Isn't disappointment a terrible thing?
Give France a call. Or Zimbabawe. Or maybe Yasshole. See if they'll pick up the slack.

#2 Hmm... maybe its time for an audit of what the U.N. is doing with the funds it is currently receiving?

#3 Oh yeah? Then maybe we can resort to something he is completely used to-bargaining. He wants our money? We'll dole some out when we see UN members acting more like partners instead of arch rivals.

#4 Most of the world's funds to study and find a vaccine and treatments for AIDS also comes from the US. So the %#@! is the rest of the world doing other than bitching and moaning?

#5 Well, AIDS should be completely under control, once the UN takes the oil-for-food bribe money back.

#7 Kofi is just upset that the US won't let him and his UN cronies dip their beaks in the monies the US is spending on AIDS. You see no amount of money can do any good unless it is washed throught the UN bureaucracy and their Cayman Island accounts.

#8 Kofi's guilt trip on us does not wash any more. The thing that is paying a big part of his salary is US the U.S. There is alot more to the solution of the AIDS problem than just throwing money on it. It is also a matter of nations and citizens taking responsibility for their actions. The U.S. cannot take responsibility for every person in the world who chambers a bad round. World govt type people will drive the world economy into the ground and we will all become poor and f**ked up! Just like BOB.

#9 Such claims are wrong. No other country is committing more money to the battle against HIV/AIDS than the US. The American taxpayer is spending $15 billion over five years to help combat the condition. This dwarfs the commitment from any other government. It is therefore extremely worrying to see that some influential HIV/AIDS activists have seized the opportunity of the Bangkok summit to play politics and aim a totally unmerited kick at the United States.

That paragraph is taken from Arab News, believe it or not....
