As a result of the lawsuit filed in October 2000, the Bush Administration ultimately agreed in September 2001 to withdraw the National Assessment and stated that its unlawfully produced conclusions are not policy positions or official statements of the U.S. government. EPA has ignored this agreement in issuing its report to the United Nations. And that's what the UN will be reading. Can't blame this on Clinton. He's not there anymore. *sigh*
At least this one looks like he didn't do it for the Democrats. That's good news.

I think you might be right here...
I keep going back to sixty years ago. There was a military commander who literally was infuriating people by following his gut instinct and trusting a pair of good intelligence officers. As a result, he was able to turn the tide of a war at a battle over two insignificant islands that were the only inhabitable chunks of land on an atoll called... Midway.
Bush's ways are not Rush's ways. They have the same goals, but different methods of reaching them. There will be some times when there will be disagreements, but we have to keep our eye on the goal.

Perhaps this is part of the reason the President sounded so irritated today when he was speaking of the "bureaucrats" releasing the report?

I believe that the genius of the Bush Presidency will be in elevating the discussion of the major issues of our day and staking them as issues of truth vs. untruth.
Bush has been consistent in flummoxing his opposition since the campaign.
Remember the 'Rats' commercial? Want to guess how many times the liberal news media ran that commercial as "news" with barely disguised disgust? Want to guess how many people saw it? Want to guess how much it cost Bush to have all those people see it?
Remember when he granted welfare rights to the unborn? Suddenly, the argument was ours. The unborn are people.
Remember how he sidestepped CFR? He effectively took the wind out of it by passing it, rightfully, to the Supreme Court where it will be summarily swatted down on First Amendment rights.
He's now opened up the debate on global warming, the grandaddy of leftist-socialism, and for the first time in public a President will say, "It's junk science," and the onus will be on the liberals to prove him wrong.
I'm suprised that all the naysayers on this site have missed the biggest and best part of it...
Rush Limbaugh is Bush's friend, folks, and he's in on it.

Yep, somebody definately screwed up. Not like it matters, though. The guilty parties can't be fired, only re-assigned.

This is what happens when the government is run by "ENVIROSCHIZOPHRENICS"!

Like undoing the absurd promotion to cabinet level. And add some serious accountability, like if you publish something without proper scientific rigor, you're automatically out the door, and maybe in jail, depending on how blatant. Like mandatory cost-of-implementation and cost-per-life-saved assesments that can't be sneaked around. Like a cap on department budget, not to exceed 0.001% of last year's GDP, etc.

Now, with all the troubles the Federal crooks are having,EPA, FBI, CIA, Forest Service,etc.,etc., GWB should go before Congress and the American people and state as forcefully as possible," AMERICA HAS TWO GROUPS OF TERRORISTS THAT THREATEN OUR WAY OF LIFE--BEN LOSING AND HIS BUNCH AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENT`S BUREAUCRATS. WE MUST ALL WORK TOGETHER TO DESTORY THOSE THAT WOULD DESTROY US".

This is from Rush's site. I don't believe very many supporters of GW would agree that Rush is Bush's best friend:
Et Tu Rushei!
To: Tex-Con-Man
heh heh, looks like the 'bush knew' story all over again. LOLOLOL. I'd really like to see the EPA abolished completely.

"The EPA needs to be told that the Clinton Administration is gone and Al Gore did not win the election. psssst, Someone be sure to tell Bush also.

"EPA is truly a monster. I'm not saying they shouldn't exist..." There is no authorization in the Constitution, that I can see, for the EPA to even exist.
In accordance with the Tenth Amendment, this should be a power exercised by each State.
As long as the EPA exists as a Federal agency, we are going to be fighting battles like this latest Global Warming flap over and over again.
