President Bush is wrapping up his Africa trip in Nigeria before heading back to the U.S. The significance of it has been overshadowed in recent days, because of the increasing scrutiny his administration is facing over intelligence on Iraq.

The president has pledged to push for a 15 billion dollar anti-AIDS program, but Congress is already scaling back the funding. Supporters of the plan hope he'll fight to restore those cuts. Cynics will say he's promoting the funding, while letting Republicans in Congress do the dirty work of cutting the program.

If he follows through on his commitment, Bush will have done more to fight the spread of AIDS in Africa than any of his predecessors.
