Bush May Create Largest Marine Reserves in World (wants to leave legacy)

[JI7]

i heard some of this yesterday and it's all part of him wanting to leave some legacy. it's kind of sad that he has nothing positive to leave behind and anything he might do that is positive now is just an attempt to look good in the history books.



<The Bush Administration is planning to launch one if the biggest conservation programs in U.S. history. It could create several vast marine reserves in U.S. territorial waters in the Pacific, the Gulf of Mexico and off the Atlantic Coast. Supporters say it's an opportunity for President Bush to leave a "blue legacy." Alex Chadwick talks with John Nielsen about the plan.> ............

1. Marine oil reserves?

His "legacy" is fucked beyond repair.

2. He'll leave a "blew legacy", that's for sure.

He blew every chance he had to be a decent president.

And he blew America's reputation as a country to be respected and revered.

3. Legacy? He sunk the US economy without even setting foot in the water. n/t

4. Bullshit!

He can start by shutting down the U.S. Navy sonar that is killing whales.

But he won't. He'll never do anything positive. Never!

This is bullshit!

5. Yeah, just where is he going to get all these Reserves?

Besides, Junior is already leaving a "blue legacy".

6. Hmmmm

If Bush** is doing it he must be planning to wall off a large area so his pals can throw out their nets and bring in the big ones for the cameras all puffed up and proud.

Nelson says it's important to protect these areas before fishing or energy companies begin to exploit them.

I'll guess that whatever areas, if any, are picked will be areas the fishing and oil companies are not interested in.
