done already?!

From The Gadflyer :

From Britain'sITV:
The US reportedly plans to dismantle the four-nation group which it pledged would lead the tsunami relief effort and instead let the UN take charge.

President George W Bush made the announcement about the "core group" -comprised of the US, Japan, India and Australia - at his ranch in Crawford, Texas last week.

The move appeared to be a bid to dispel criticism that the Bush administration's initial reaction to the disaster had been too slow.

But American officials now believe the core group has served its purpose and it is time to dissolve it.

Other diplomats said there is concern that if the huge relief effort breaks down, the US would prefer not to be in the lead role.

I like the bit about how it "served its purpose."

Oh, i can't believe it! Bush created this just to cover up his screw-ups?! NO! Say it isn't so!!!
