Dearly as I love Sidney Blumenthal, he is being absurd. George Bush has been in office 5 miserable years. Wetland destruction in the region has been going on since probably 1780, if not earlier; and the idea that somehow his neglect of the wetland destruction problem in the region has something to do with his ignorance of science is bizarre. Environmentalists and others have been screaming about this for practically forever. NOBODY CARED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
