My desire in starting this thread was to give credit to W as an environmentalist. When will we hear from Olbermann, Moore, Garafalo, Franken, et al. on this topic?
Yes, my first thoughts when I read this thread is that the Pres went about the war in Iraq from the wrong angle.
He should have advanced the war as a necessity to save the marshes, which are as great as the equivalent of the rain forests.
Of course we know the left would have had a problem with that also.
