This makes too much sense. it will never pass the US Senile.

Green kooks would rather see the forest burn than allow a single board foot of lumber produced. Someone might make a profit, and they can't tolerate that.

Critics said in advance of yesterday's trip that Mr. Bush's program would undercut environmental laws and not provide the money necessary to protect communities from wildfires.

If Slick Willie had proposed this the same person would have hailed him as the next Teddy Roosevelt.

[Rennes Templar]

We not only need thinning, we need clear cutting in key areas. These make excellent man-made fire breaks. I'd rather see a clear-cut area here and there with lush forest all around it than a charred moonscape. We're going up in flames here in Montana, and over the past 20 yrs the enviros have stopped thinning, cutting, roading, trailing in so many forests that are now tinder boxes, thick with dead overgrowth and undergrowth and inaccessible. This must be stopped. Montanans are mad as hell and we're not going to take it anymore.

Environazis complaining that President Bush is using the scare tactic of forest fires to allow logging...........

[oursacredhonor]

I have a rhetorical question. Why should senators from New York or Maine or Massachusetts or anywhere for that matter have a say in what Arizona does with their forests? The federal government should not own any of this land. Congress has no constitutional authority to own this property.

During the terrible fires in Colorado a huge bulldozer was brought in to create a fire break but was not allowed to be used because it might trample endangered plants............

Hey you Critics .. Look around, the country side is burning down around you and the laws you morons are claiming ain't working .. if anything you critics are doing more harm t the environment

So instead let's burn them to the ground and destroy any chance of protecting the endangered plants..

Oh yea, great plan those environmental whack jobs have there .. /sarcasm >

Recall the four firefighters who died in one of last year's fires in Washington state? Water drops on their position were delayed because the controllers were hesitant to take water from an 'environmentally sennnnnnnnsitve' creek.

[Grampa Dave]

Thanks to the Anti America/American, Watermelon Jihadists in Oregon, most of last year's trees killed in the fires due to their schemes have not been harvested.

Notice how this year's fires which again are due to about 20 years of Watermelon Jihadists schemes are not getting much media attention. The mediots know that each big and out of control fire scares the moderates who still have a brain.

Time for sarcasm here. "This again proves that there is no difference between GW and the Goron and the republicans versust the rats!" (Sarcasm off!)

Anyone who still puts out that mantra that there is no difference should be banned from posting due to a severe mental disturbance that prevents reality from being observed.

"Someone might make a profit, and they can't tolerate that"

And somehow, someway that profit will be tracked to Haliburton and the damn whining will never end.

[sergeantdave]

All Bush needs to do is declare the collectivist federal forests national disaster areas. Then he goes and grabs the money from FEMA and gets the necessary job done. If eco-fascists complain - and they will - Bush should throw a carcass of a roasted Bambi and spotted owl on a table and hold a news conference.

Bingo! You win the booby prize of understanding how DC screws up people's lives 1000's of miles away and having minimal power to ever make it stop.

[Marie Antoinette]

a carcass of a roasted Bambi and spotted owl on a table

LOL! New new tone?

[.cnI redruM]

LMAO! That's too brilliant.

Here is a thread with loads of background info on the Healthy Forest Restoration Act. I have posted several links to additional articles at the end of the thread.

[Grampa Dave]

Thanks!

How is it going up there in the woods/forests?

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Haliburton and that profiteering veep Cheney...
Wish a few of these green kooks would get real jobs.

[Rebelbase]

There was a letter to the editor in my local paper this week where the lib writer called the war Operation Iraqi Liberation O.I.L. and claims the whole thing was arranged to profit Haliburon and Texaco. They never give up.
