To support your statement, you will have to quote facts that come from the current US government. None of the ones you quoted do that (and some, like superfund, Bush wants to get rid of), except possibly this one: >US pollution requirements are in the process of being tightened. The >only question is how much this year. ..and if the Bush administration supports this effort, it would be actively going back on a campaign promise made on November 3, 2000. It would also be quite a switcheroo from when he fought that legislation as the Governor of Texas. I doubt he'd do it, although he might be politicially forced to let it slide through. If you want to see Bush's environmental positions while he was running for pres a year ago, an independent comparison is still available online at http://www.issues2000.org/George_W__Bush_Environment.htm and at http://www.issues2000.org/Environment.htm#Headlines (this is a non-partisan website). Also, the man made no secret during the campaign of being anti-Kyoto, so anyone expressing shock at his actions this point has just been ill-informed. --- T.E.D. homepage - http://www.telepath.com/dennison/Ted/TED.html home email - mailto:dennison@telepath.com
