Radar, I was talking more so about the choice of verbiage in my first quote.

The Arabs are already pouring those billions into other businesses that will sustain their income stream if/when oil is less lucrative. Airlines and aircraft leasing are two of them. Travel between the West and Far East, is another.

I dont see anything wrong the verbiage:

President Obama will vow to cut US carbon emissions by 17% by 2020, when he attends the climate summit in Copenhagen.

But I dont have radar....just a bullshit detector and I dont detect bullshit in the verbiage, assuming Obama can get a climate bill through Congress next year ;)

Doesn't just about every president make treaties, pacts and agreements with other countries, that will extend past his term?

It's ambiguous.

Thanks PW. It can be read either way. I thought the presentation played well into a few other threads and discussions about grammar... no biggie.

Perhaps this is clearer:

That still doesnt make me Radar :p

'Tis true. It would be very hard to make Redux into Radar. Then there's the advisablity of the whole thing...
