AmishDude, I only quoted from the report. I'm leaving it up to the reader to interpret the words. But it seems clear to *me* that he ordered the report.

Please don't ask me what was going on in Bush's head. I suggest reading at least the introduction of the report, because it has lots of quotes from Bush about the subject of environment which you might find interesting.

How dare you use your own head and ask honest questions? You must want Al Gore in the White House!

#404 directly contradicts you. But let us even assume that isn't true, what do you think happens here? You think he ordered this thing last week on his own initiative? Last month? A year ago? It's fairly clear that they took the report and reworked it so that they could at least have something they could explain.

Oh, and #2 is saying "allow science that contradicts the garbage that's in this report."

I think its been determined that its a report that is due every three years and that it was mostly written under the Clinton administration. Whitman tried to delay its release as long as she could and then finally felt she had to comply with the law and so it was released. I think I'll look at it and see if there are any dates in any of it anywhere.

If you look at the report most of the data from which they compiled for the charts is through the year 2,000. That would indicate to me that it was mostly the Clinton administration that wrote it.
