Mazal tov, but that has nothing to do with Bush reneging on his promise by making a splashy announcement about increasing American contributions to the fight against AIDS and then not actually asking Congress for any additional money. He always makes these feel-good announcements to get the publicity benefit, then, after the press and public have turned their attention elsewhere, quietly forgetting all about actually requesting any of the promised money.
