Here is Bono's heartbroken and very frustrated response today at the press conference where these pics come from:

Bono, lead singer of U2 and co-founder of DATA, said: “G8 leaders say they are serious about keeping their promises from 2005, but today they have made their job seriously harder. They say $60billion for AIDS, TB and malaria and it sounds great, but that’s not earmarked for Africa, it’s a global figure and there’s no timeline. Even if their laudable commitment to put 5 million people on lifesaving drugs had a due date of 2010 – which it doesn’t – it would only be half their stated ambition of 2005.
"This summit outcomes document isn’t readable in any language, it’s called a communiqué but it seems to have been deliberately designed not to communicate the real facts. Do they think we can’t read or count? We are looking for accountable language and accountable numbers: we didn’t get them today. The G8 do reiterate their commitment to the $25 billion for Africa in 2010, but the whole point of this year’s Africa piece of the G8 puzzle was to show a critical path for how these great nations would keep their great promise to Africa. Clear year-by-year steps were needed but this labyrinthine language offers no path - it’s a maze designed to lose an ever increasing movement of engaged global citizenry. But we are not lost; right now it’s the G8 that are lost.
"It's worth remembering that these aren’t statistics: these are hospitals without the electricity or clean water they’ve been promised, schools without roofs. Mothers without vaccinations for their children. The bureababble reveals a struggle within the G8. Some leaders have been stepping up but collectively they are slipping up. We’ve had plenty of fights with them this week – but they’ve had more with each other. Maybe the biggest achievement of 2007 is the emerging passion and commitment of the German people including the Chancellor herself – if only we could have turned her passion into more cash."
My prayers are with the People of Africa who will not live because of the lack of progress made at the G8 summit on ending extreme poverty
and my best wishes are with Bono and Bob who tried so immensely hard to move things forward for Africa at the summit - but just couldn't.

Macphisto2000 said:BTW, any Dallas fans around? I have a few more of him if someone is interested.
silvrlvr said:I'd love to hear the conversation that brought Dallas to G8.
Edge: Dallas, you can stay here with me and Danny in this unairconditioned riad while we keep writing and having long conversations about whether to go with G sharp or F flat. Or you can go to northern Germany to work with Bono and Geldof and be seen by millions of people around the world, including all of PLEBA.
Dallas: Dude, I'm off to Rostock!
