Makes you wonder if the AP actually writes these stories or if they just transcribe DNC talking points..

... and the New York Times is absolutely giddy over the prospective propaganda.

Too bad their Dim compatriots down in Louisiana are unravelling the approved storyline before the venerable NYT can gain traction with anything they write, LOL.

There is resentment, too, that Bush has refused to sign the Kyoto treaty on global warming or embrace British Prime Minister Tony Blair's proposal that rich nations donate foreign aid equal to 0.7 percent of their national income. The U.S. percentage is 0.16 percent, the lowest of leading industrialized nations.

What a bunch of horse poop. This completely ignores the in-kind contribution the U.S. military makes by being the world's policeman and disaster-relief agency. Not to mention the vast sums contributed privately by U.S. businesses and residents.

"There is resentment, too, that Bush has refused to sign the Kyoto treaty on global warming"

Kyoto is a hoax and is dead. Bush brokered a REAL deal with India and China that actually adresses the issue instead of merely redistributing wealth via energy consumption. No mention of that from AP. Idiots.

"embrace British Prime Minister Tony Blair's proposal that rich nations donate foreign aid equal to 0.7 percent of their national income. The U.S. percentage is 0.16 percent, the lowest of leading industrialized nations. "

Context? Private donations from Americans far outwiegh the 0.7 they would have governments donate. Again, AP is lazy & sloppy.

You gotta wonder....Send Dan Rather and "60 Minutes" to investigate and bring back the truth!/sarcasm off

Transcribes DNC talking points.

[badpacifist]

The NYTimes appears to have met its match in the right. Everyday we grow stronger and everyday their credibility suffers. Stores might as well stick it up there at the checkout stands.

I remember back to the first week in September of 2001. It was my second trip ever to New York.

All over the media were reports of the UN gathering and trying to pass a resolution condemning the US for having slaves centuries ago. They were also trying to condemn Israel for human rights abuses.

Mad man Mo's cronies had a fertile environment in which to brew their hate of Jews and America.

[hosepipe]

Merely NYT agitprop.. preparing for Hillarys run for President..

as is cBS, nBS, aBS, and pBS and Hollyweird(generally) been doing also..

The game is afoote.. but not really a game, its more like serious propaganda.. as the sheeple graze and mull over the PO' people of N'awlins and other the flocking people in the area..

[mom-7]

The only ones that I see in disarray are the left wing media and the demonrats.

[operation clinton cleanup]

Rarely in U.N. history has the United States, the organization's chief sponsor and host, looked as awkward or vulnerable to foreign eyes as it does now.

Maybe the foreigners need to read the Volker oil for food report.

A better title would be ....

>>>>"There is resentment, too, that Bush has refused to sign the Kyoto treaty on global warming"

Oh how quickly some forget. The US Senate voted the Kyoto Treaty down, 95-0.

>>>>On June 25, 1997, before the Kyoto Protocol was to be negotiated, the U.S. Senate passed by a 95-0 vote the Byrd-Hagel Resolution (S. Res. 98), which stated the sense of the Senate was that the United States should not be a signatory to any protocol that did not include binding targets and timetables for developing as well as industrialized nations or "would result in serious harm to the economy of the United States".

You would think that the MSM would have at least run one mea culpa on their own failures as evidenced by a lack of articles and warnings prior to Katrina.

I searched Yahoo! News (and Google News, but it was useless since the date bracketing seemed to be broken), and it is very depressing how little coverage Katrina received on Friday or Saturday. Yet these very same newshounds are eager to repeat DNC talking points in a disgusting display of backbiting "journalism".

[fabriclady]

The dim liberals don't really get the story.
What we saw in New Orleans with the looting and chaos was the population that grew to adults during the clinton adminstration. The prayer have been taken out of schools, it was cool to lie and get away with it. Stealing was no big deal, just deny it.
Now folks, the chickens have come home to roost.
They throw garbage wherever, spit on people, steal, loot, you get the picture. No respect, gimmie a handout...you owe me...I need an $800.00 purse.
Now I can't put my thought down like the rest of you, but at 70 I have a lot of common sense.
Lets speak up and place the blame where it belongs.
I am so tired of hearing a liberal tell me what went wrong. It would be so nice if I could face them. I would have a lot to say.
That said, lets be sure to take care of the responsible ones, especially the children and elderly.

[hershey]

The NYTimes is playing Chicken Little. The only people in disarray are the dems. For the adults, life goes on.

[pending]

AP posts this kind of thing as a news item, rather than the highly charged political rhetoric it is.
No author to take the heat.
Very lightweight, very chickenshirt, disingenuous
and precisely wrong.

There is movement to control the spin of this, to deny the obvious recognition that entitlement mentality and larger
Guvmint answers are fatally flawed.
N'Oleans reaps the harvest of its corruption.
****
Mr Bush should have spoken about the states unwillingness to give him the authority to act. Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and wednesday, to pressure Blanko.

Politically, it would have left him very far from the mess we have now, but more importantly, the innocents
deserved to know that the Fed wasn't going to be there, and why.

There would be none of this BS spinning, racial nuttiness,
none of it.

I cannot fathom why he did not do that.

[Republican Wildcat]

Staggered by Katrina, the U.S. also faces international opposition to the war it is leading in Iraq. There is resentment, too, that Bush has refused to sign the Kyoto treaty on global warming or embrace British Prime Minister Tony Blair's proposal that rich nations donate foreign aid equal to 0.7 percent of their national income. The U.S. percentage is 0.16 percent, the lowest of leading industrialized nations.

I guess having basic civics knowledge isn't a requirement for reporting on civic affairs at the AP. The President cannot ratify treaties - that is the Senate, which was unanimously on record as being opposed to the compact before Bush ever took office.
