Geldof was speaking of Bush's PUBLIC intentions, to fight AIDS in Africa, which on the surface nobody can really say is not a noble idea.
But of course, public P.R. and the reality in the back rooms of power, and on the ground, are often two different things. It's been reported that a LOT of the money that went to fight AIDS disappeared without reaching the people it was meant to help, which has become a familiar refrain in anything Bush touches- Halliburton, for example, continues to suck up vast amounts of capitol without being able to account for where it all went...

This airstrike on militants is a different issue *(I hope that they all really were militants... more often than not these attacks tend to take out a lot of innocents at the same time...)
