getting out of the way

Though the comment by the Paupa New Guinea rep at the Bali conference was quoted as lead or get out of the way (on providing technological help to poorer countries), I think what we are doing is a little more along the lines of following.

On Saturday, World Leaders finally agreed on a broad plan for developing a new global climate treaty by 2009. Of course, we, the US, have only committed to deep cuts in our emissions...not anything specific.

And, as we would expect, the White House has already expressed "serious concerns" about the final deal. HA!
