hmmmmm....I hadn't heard that Erskine had been appointed by Bushies as an Assistant Deputy for Tsunami Relief...:eyes: Will this offset Bolton appointment for Bushies in the eyes of Democrats? The latest Bush ploy or did Poppy grab his ear and convince him this was "a good thing" to do. :shrug:

Clinton To Serve 2 Years as U.N. Envoy


Associated Press
Sunday, April 10, 2005; Page A21

UNITED NATIONS, April 9 -- Former president Bill Clinton will spend at least two years in his new role as the top U.N. envoy promoting recovery in tsunami-hit countries and demanding accountability for the unprecedented billions of dollars donated by countries and individuals, his deputy said.

Erskine B. Bowles said Clinton will also push for the construction of better homes, schools and hospitals in areas devastated by the killer waves and the adoption of new measures to warn against disasters and ensure quick action by governments when they occur.

Clinton's goal is to work for the tsunami victims he met on his first trip to the region in February as a U.S. envoy with former president George H.W. Bush and make sure "we leave these people better off than they were before this horrendous event occurred," Bowles said.

Bowles, who was Clinton's chief of staff at the White House from 1996 to 1998 and is now the United Nations' deputy special envoy for tsunami recovery, traveled to Indonesia, Sri Lanka and the Maldives in March for a firsthand view of the devastation while the former president was recovering from surgery.

1. It doesn't matter, Bolton is still unacceptable
yes, I think this is oil on troubled waters, but it is too little and it is far too late.

2. Yep, put the dems in charge of something you don't give a hoot about
but is very high profile, then blame them if it doesn't go perfect. So Poppy, the evil empowering shill, just kind of drops out when the shirt sleeves are being rolled up? That makes sense, gee his wife may get her "beautiful mind" soiled if she's too close to people in need.

I read a post somewhere in which someone nailed it. Bush 43 is USING Clinton for cover and protection. He took him to the Pope's funeral for protection. Bush figures if he can have Clinton at his side people won't boo or hate him as much. He hides behind Clinton. Chimpageddon just didn't figure on being isolated on a big screen at the funeral.

Clinton is his shield and is being played for a patsy because he is a good person at heart, something the Bushes will never be....

Now here's something Poppy is good at, shilling. In this photo Poppy and Bar are meeting and greeting Moon's wife backstage at the Tokyodome after one of Bush's "sell the prestige and name of the presidency to Moon" trips. I can never stress enough how important Bush's shilling has been to Moon's efforts. Huge.



Below Poppy helps Moon do a make over and name change for his planet manipulating cult. The seal Bush is standing behind is the seal of the Unification Church after the name change.



The picture above was taken from the large video file found here:

look for "FFWPU Introductory Video" - in it you will see many Moon shills. Gary Bauer, Ralph Reed. Gerald Ford...why even "Christian" Pat Boone comes by and sings for his supper.

learn more on how Moon did it...

3. Well, you know, Poppy didn't give that "New World Order"
speech on Sept. 11, 1990 for nothing.
