I'm confused about this strategy, such as it is. Ceding the point to the doom-and-gloomers, while taking no action, helps the administration how? That can't be a political plus. In fact, what it does is give envirowackos ammunition, while simultaneously alienating conservatives.

Another brilliant Karl Rove strategy!

I think the president would have better luck just being himself. He's basically a decent guy, and people like him. He doesn't need to do all this "triangulation" garbage.

I agree completely.

That I agree with 100% !
I think Bush at this point is cleaning off his desk. And I think that merely sweeping this "global warming" crap into the circular file would give the leftist goofballs ammo to say Bush "doesn't care about...", "won't address...", etc. They may have been too clever by half on this one, or maybe the Gray Old Whore is as devious an arm of the DNC as everybody always thought.
