-Caveat Lector- With Carl Limbacher and NewsMax.com Staff For the story behind the story... Wednesday April 25, 2001; 8:59 a.m. EDT Colin Powell to Shun Clinton Bush Secretary of State Colin Powell won't attend a summit of African leaders scheduled to begin Thursday in Nigeria -- and the reason is he doesn't want to be seen with former President Bill Clinton, who is set to be on hand. "They don't want to have anything to do with him," a Powell source tells the Washington Post's Al Kamen Wednesday. The two-day event, sponsored by the Organization of African Unity, is supposed to spotlight the AIDS epidemic on the continent. The snub comes despite entreaties from U.N. Secretary General Koffi Annan, who personally asked Powell to come. But, says Kamen's source, "The administration doesn't want to be associated with an event in which Clinton will be a star. And Powell doesn't want to be overshadowed or competitive with Clinton." At first, State Department spokesman Phil Reeker tried to chalk up the Powell snub to a scheduling conflict, explaining that the Secretary of State had already committed to attend another conference in Nigeria on U.S.-African relations in May. That conference, however, has been cancelled. ================================================================= Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF: *Michael Spitzer* <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends ================================================================= <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
