Wouldn’t if be nice if these stoves were at least manufactured in the USA
OK.....we could have given an American stove maker a full tax credit to manufacture, and then give away these stoves. But THAT would have created American jobs, and Obama would never have any part of that.
Put a man in a stove, and he will be heated for the rest of his life.
Seriously now, where in Article 1 Section 8 is the provision for cooking stoves outside the US, let alone within. More wealth transfer, out of the US, for the most unconstitutional regime in US history.
These progressives/socialists/totalitarians/enemies within aren’t too brilliant, Brilliant. Thanks for posting (and the pic...priceless)
The “developing countries” ploy again? Send them a pocket copy of our constitution.
It’s 2010. Time for foreign parasites to stand up on their own or shut up.
It’s just one more way these marxists force us to accept redistribution of wealth from those who work for it to those who whine and moan.
Hey! I am paying for this! I want a new stove!
You foreigners need to go to the back of the line!
Never underestimate the stupidity of the State Department. No doubt you will be able to purchase these stoves on the “black market” in another country.
Corruption and black market issues aside, did Hilary give any thought as to how useful new stoves are going to be where there are no power plants and no gas lines?
Also, if I go along with the whole “global warming” meme, does it really reduce a carbon footprint to switch people from using wood, which comes from plants that are constantly taking CO2 out of the air, to using some sort of fossil fuel, which will put back into the air CO2 that was buried (and therefore not in the air) millenia ago?
Heard about this. Carbon trading is the invisible hand behind this.
So we spent $800,000 to teach them how to wash their wee wee now we think they are stinking up the place with open fires? WTH?
I thought we taught em how to read? Can’t we just send em a flier on how to build a stove?

Global Warming on Free Republic
The hypocrisy of the liberal position. They complain about how humans are destroying the planet, promote abortion, and then go on about how concerned they are about these poor children dying *premature deaths* and trying to keep more people alive.
What these rocket scientists don't stop to realize, is that it isn't just cooking over an open fire that does it. When the same method is used for indoor heating, they're still breathing in the smoke and suffering the consequences.
Until the standard of living is improved through changing the corrupt governments which keep those people in poverty, nothing is going to change no matter how many stoves you hand out.
And they're probably all going to end up on the black market anyway.
Hillary now wants them each to cook a turkey. “Global global global.”
