Pelosi says Bush "in denial" on warming

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called
President George W. Bush's new global warming plan a "profound
disappointment" on Friday and said she wants Congress to pass
legislation this year to curb greenhouse gas emissions.

Just returned from a European tour focused on climate change,
Pelosi said Bush's strategy, announced on Thursday, "rehashed
stale ideas" and made her question whether the president
understands the urgency of global warming.

"The science is clear, and yet the president continues to be
in denial," Pelosi said at a briefing. "Yes, he says now he
believes that global warming is happening and he accepts the
science that it is ... But if that were so, if he truly understood
that, he could not have come up with a proposal that is
'aspirational'."

Pelosi, a California Democrat who rose to the top leadership
job in the House of Representatives when Democrats won
control in November, wants Congress to pass legislation this
year to require mandatory caps on heat-trapping emissions of
carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas spewed by motor vehicles,
factories and coal-fired power plants.

Just as we must take steps to protect our planet from things that are doing it harm, we must also take steps to protect our country from people who are doing it harm.

2. bush responds forcefully - "I haven't been to Egypt in a long time."

and in other news danny boy bartlett who recently said bush never had any conversations with anybody about the attorney firings but those conversations have to be protected by executive privilege resigned today needing to spend "more time with his family." America wonders, who's next.
