The argument against Bush by the usual suspects was that under Bush, mining regulations were relaxed for rich mining companies ( why do they always have to use the adjective --- RICH ?)
The Sago miners died because there was not enough Oxygen for them while in Canada, workers made it to sealed emergency rooms equipped with water, food, beds and blankets as well as oxygen supplies to last at least 36 hours.
So, its all Bush's fault for relaxing requirements for miners to provide enough safety/oxygen/equipment to prevent unnecessary deaths.
OK, BUSH DEFENDERS, LETS HAVE A GO AT IT, WHAT SAY YOU ?
on one point - safe boxes with O2 were tried, and failed when the surviving miners lived long enough to be baked alive in the box when the coal burned around them. No one in the US will build/install one now because the F'n trial lawers. The rules for coal mining have not been relaxed in recent years. Another liberal lie that has become "the truth"
