WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.N., World Bank, the Global Fund to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria and former U.S. president Bill Clinton said on Tuesday they had set up a joint plan to buy and distribute cheap, generic AIDS drugs in poor countries.

In a clear jab at the U.S. government, they said they had negotiated discounts of 50 percent or more on HIV diagnostic tests and on drugs whose safety has been questioned by the Bush Administration.

``Simply put, the Clinton Foundation will negotiate the drug prices, UNICEF will employ its procurement capacity and the Global Fund and World Bank will provide the funding,'' Stephen Lewis, United Nations Special Envoy for HIV/AIDS in Africa, said in a statement.

He will just sit back and get a cushy job at Carlyle and have one of his speechwriters write his memoirs.

Nice to get a look at a real President from time to time. Damn I miss the Big Dog.

Only people who truley care about others do theses things.
