WASHINGTON (AFP) - - British Prime Minister Gordon Brown said Tuesday that a global "new deal" on cleaning up the reeling banking sector was possible within months, during talks with US President Barack Obama.
"Look, there is the possibility in the next few months of a global new deal that will involve all the countries of the world in sorting out and cleaning up the banking system," Brown told reporters in the Oval Office.
"There is the possibility of all the different countries of the world coming together to agree the expansion in the economy that is necessary to restore confidence and to give people jobs and growth and prosperity for the future."

Followed by one world government.
Who would run it?

It took longer than it should have, but the State Department finally decided late last week to drop out of the horror show that is the United Nations conference on racism. The conference scheduled for April in Geneva is the follow-up to the U.N. confab in Durban, South Africa, in 2001 that proved too much for Colin Powell, who withdrew the U.S. delegation after it became an anti-Israel, anti-free speech debacle.
The new Obama team first thought its diplomatic charms could deter a repeat, and it dispatched negotiators to Geneva for the preparatory meetings. They got nowhere, which isn't surprising given that the preparatory committee is chaired by Libya, aided by vice chairs Iran and Cuba. "The document grew from bad to worse," said a U.S. official, in explaining the walkout.
The U.S. has unfortunately held out hope that it might "re-engage" in the conference if the U.N. rewrites the draft document so as not to single out any country and not ratify the Durban I principles. And it isn't reassuring that U.S. representatives held some 30 meetings before they figured out the depth of the anti-Western animus at work. They could merely have consulted Canada, which had already announced it wouldn't participate.
Mark this down as the first of what we expect will be many such revelations for Obama Administration diplomats. Their animating conceit is that the world dislikes America merely because the Bush Administration wasn't solicitous enough of world opinion. But Durban II shows that many countries hate us merely for who we are and what we stand for.
U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Susan Rice should have seen this coming after the fiasco of Durban I, but at least someone in the Obama Administration had the good sense to pull the plug on U.S. support for this latest U.N. festival of anti-Semitism.

The one-world government will, within 100 years, become an Islamofascist theocracy!
I only pray that Jesus takes us home before the Islamists invade the United States and outlaw Christianity and exposed hair and women owning property!
