"It's a desperate attempt by the left to paint this president as someone who supports Kyoto in order to take away the weak support he has from the far right."

Actually its worse than that. They will attempt to say that Bush realizes that humans cause Global warming but refuses to do anything about it.

I am not anti Bush as so many here seem to think. I do think this was a poor political move but I will place most of the blame with Christine Todd Whitman and whoever allowed these ridiculous claims to be included in the report.

You do realize that the Senate must ratify the Kyoto treaty don't you? Bush has not offered even the slightest hint that he will ask the senate to do so. I don't know what the man can do. Why not encourage him to stick to his guns rather than project future guilt on to him? That the democrats and the media will use this report is a given. They always do but that does NOT MEAN that they are telling the truth. If Bush looks at this forum and sees he is being crucified by his own as much as the Libs, he will, and rightly so, wonder why he should stand tough since no matter what he does, it is always too much or too little with those that he thought he could count on to watch his back.

There was a time when freepers went after the media knowing that 9 times out of 10 they had spun the story into a major negative when it comes to conservatives or Republicans. There was a time when freepers would find the facts and use them to rebut the media spin and get the message out. However; for the past 6 months with a very large contingent on this forum every media source, no matter which one, is used verbatim, to yell "I TOLD YOU SO, BUSH IS A SELL-OUT." it is realty quite remarkable.

Correct. Whitless has been marginalized over at EPA ever since the arsenic fiasco. She wants to be taken seriously, so she does this to get a little press.

Stupid.
