I'm all for a 3 Gorgeous Dames Project, Barry.

Let's see what Bush didn't try:

If it was genuinely believed by any at Kyoto that something needed doing, i.e. that something, some course of action was "necessary", then it should not have been beyond the wit of those there to decide upon a course of action that would have been all inclusive and effective. They didn't, they did as they always do they fudged it, all "smoke 'n' mirrors", with not the slightest chance of success. While the World was applauding the Emperor's new clothes, the President of The United States of America said "No, this ain't goin' to work." - Seems now at least Dr.Auffhammer agrees with him.

Does it take courage to stand alone? I think so. Does it take courage to stand by your convictions in the face of public censure? I think it does. GWB did both with regard to Kyoto which Dr Auffhammer all but proclaims a broken reed.
