UNITED NATIONS - Secretary-General Kofi Annan (news - web sites) has selected former President Clinton (news - web sites) to be the U.N. point man for tsunami reconstruction and ensure that the world doesn't forget the immense needs of the countries devastated by the Dec. 26 disaster, a well-informed U.N. diplomat said Tuesday.

U.N. spokesman Fred Eckhard refused to confirm the appointment but said "a statement will be released on the subject by my office in the next few hours."

The U.N. diplomat, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the appointment of Clinton as Annan's top envoy for the rehabilitation of tsunami-devastated countries would expand on the former president's current efforts to raise money in the United States.

Soon after the disaster, President Bush (news - web sites) named Clinton and his father, President George H.W. Bush, to head a nationwide private fund-raising effort to help countries devastated by the deadly wall of water that killed more than 157,000 people and displaced millions of others.

The two ex-presidents have been traveling throughout the country raising money and Bush said last week they hope to go to the tsunami-ravaged Indian Ocean region to illustrate the need for continued financial help from Americans to rebuild the area. He didn't say when.

Bill Clinton has been in Switzerland speaking to a GLOBALIST forum.  Bill Clinton is liked in the EU because he has a globalist viewpoint.  Those who are misinformed should realize Bill Clinton is a great candidate to be the rider on the white horse.

President Bush is the one person who stands in the way of the EU and the UN. He will not be the one to GIVE AWAY U.S. sovereignty. It will likely be a democrat after the rapture of the Church. George Bush will be going in the rapture.
