Gosh, you're saying that Bush wasn't, at one point, clearly against the research? Why don't you attempt to read your own link, Lash?
From Lash's second link,
Quote:The BBC's Paul Reynolds in Washington says the move is a break from the total opposition Mr Bush expressed during the election campaign, but is the most restricted one he could probably have taken given his pro-life position.
Just to clear things up for those watching
Bush was COMPLETELY against the research, before flip-flopping and deciding to allow it.
Care to explain his pathetic funding of the 9/11 commission?
How about how he and Condi didn't want to talk to the commission before public pressure forced them to?
Lash Wrote (incorrectly):Quote:He wasn't against the 911 Commission. He just wanted to make sure it wasn't a bunch of Democrats on a witch hunt and that the survivors' families wouldn't be unduly traumatised. They gathered info and set parameters before going forward with approval.
Hmm, that seems to be at odds with his public statements at the time. You really should check your facts more, Lash.
Quote:President Bush took a few minutes during his trip to Europe Thursday to voice his opposition to establishing a special commission to probe how the government dealt with terror warnings before Sept. 11.
Mr. Bush said the matter should be dealt with by congressional intelligence committees.

And he continued to say that, until he got so much pressure from the public and his own party that he.... changed his stance!
Like I said before
FLIP
FLOP
And you're living in a fantasy world, Lash.
