Bush Cool to Blair on Climate

As world leaders prepared for a major summit, President Bush said Monday that he would not substantially change his stance on global warming to reward British Prime Minister Tony Blair for his support of the war in Iraq..
[You've gotta believe that the MSM put the question to President Bush this way--what a setup!--Jen]

"I really don't view our relationship as one of quid pro quo," Bush said. "Tony Blair made decisions on what he thought was best for keeping the peace and winning the war on terror, as I did."

Reiterating his opposition to the Kyoto Protocol that mandates targets for cutting greenhouse gas emissions, Bush told Britain's ITV1 channel that he would reject any measures that "look like Kyoto." The United States is the world's largest emitter of carbon dioxide, but Bush has rejected the treaty because its provisions, he said, would "wreck the U.S. economy."

Trust the President on this one!
The man knows...and "global warming" is a crock of hooey!
(Read Michael Critchon's "State of Fear" for the delicious 4-1-1.)
Bush wouldn't be in this PR quagmire with the Libs if Bill Clinton hadn't gotten it into to his head to sign Kyoto (or did Slick get Algore to sign if for him?), because Congress overwhelmingly voted it down and would do so again, I dare say.
Kyoto is just another attempt to try and cripple globalization and capitalism and the countries that are good at it, especially the U.S.A.
