August, 2001

Ok, let me see if I got this right. During the first week of August, 2001 (8/6/01) Bu$h gets the daily briefing that tells him plans, orchistrated by a many who had attacked us before, are afoot to attack the nation again. During the second week of August (8/9/01) Bu$h addresses the nation. I leave it up to you to find out what the subject was that so weighed on the mind of the President that he had to interupt his month-long vacation to address it. The rest of his month, as far as I can find out was dead time, trying to give the impression that his 8-month-old pig farm is the old family ranch.

1. I remember that address, too...

It was apparently a great moral burden for him, and something he agonized over, in consultation with clergy, family, ethicists, and medical advisers.

Little clumps of cells in petri dishes, when it comes down to it. He obsessed over potential life (that would be destroyed anyway if not used or donated/adopted) and didn't really give a crap about 3,000 actual lives.

(Welcome to DU, BTW.)

2. Exactly

While the tickets were being purchased for 19 seats on the soon to be hijacked planes Bu$h was all consumed in blocking scientific research in the most promissing field in the future of medicine. Stem Cell Research. What could possibly have been of greater importance?

3. Of course!

If stem cell research is successful, there may be a chance to grow him a brain! That would screw everything up!
