G-8: Not Just One Queasy Stomach
Posted by Heather Hurlburt
This entire G-8 meeting, which was to have been an opening showcase for France's Sarkozy, a farewell love-in for Britain's Tony Blair, and a chance of global warming redemption of President Bush, is looking like a big bunch of nothin' to me. Sure, that's often the case, but you'd have thought there were several leaders with the incentive to do more, our own included.
Here's the most positive spin I could find on the climate change language: "wait and see."
The $60 billion commitment for Africa is $30 billion of previously-pledged US money and $30 billion of new pledges from European nations that are behind on their previous pledges... and NGOs which have up to now been supportive of the G-8 process are hopping mad.
I am exasperated," Irish rock star and anti-poverty campaigner Bono told Reuters. "I think it is deliberately the language of obfuscation. It is deliberately misleading."
Le Monde claimed that there was "agreement reached" on Darfur, but the language doesn't look like anything to get excited about to me:
We underline that there is no military solution to the conflict in Darfur and fully support the efforts of the special envoys of the UN and the AU [African Union] to restart negotiations with a view to reaching a political agreement.
Ditto Iran and North Korea, unless I missed something.
And on Kosovo's final status, the Russians gave nothing, no statement, nada, zip, zero. (Trying to make an early mark, Sarkozy proposed that the sides have six months to work something out and, if they failed, the independence-with-lots-of-oversight proposals of UN mediator Martti Ahtisaari would go into effect. Cute. But nyet.)
No wonder W. stayed in his room this morning.

you just need to spend 100-200 dollars to buy a replica rolex watches.
Rolex Masterpiece replica watches are made by the rating 1:1 according to the original watches, and you can't distinguish the original and the fake watches when you look at the surface of the watches.

Measure out a good length of wire line or Links of London Letters, if the balls are larger, leather or cotton cord. Should be enough to wrap around your neck than 5 inches. If you are using wire, slide a bead embedded in one end and a part of clasp. Pass the cable through the securing of accounts, adjust, and then flatten the Links of London Sale with crimping pliers. Trim the tail of wire. String accounts. If you want a symmetrical pattern, start with the Links of London Pendants and add segments on each side. Add the second part of the hook or, if you are using a snap hook Should silver jewelry be plated? Silver coating can be done with rhodium, white gold, yellow gold and platinum, even. Another thing you should know when to buy silver Links of London online may no longer be done by hand or machine. Of course, pieces of handmade silver are priced much higher than machine-made counterparts because more value is placed on the works of human hands.
