Bush is toast, if you want it
Edited on Mon Dec-29-03 05:26 AM by Cronus
Check out this meeting Bush had, *after* the 2000 election but *before* he was installed in the oval office. In black and white, Bush states that he considers the food supply to be a "security" issue, in the weeks before he was installed into office.

He can't claim this time that the didn't think about it before. He can't blame his staff for not telling him something. He knew in advance that mad cow was a huge issue, and he stated categorically that it is a security problem for the US.

Well, he's had 3 years, we have mad cow disease, and where's Bush's master plan? Where's his agriculture policy? Where are the new Federal Standards? What did he put in place to secure the food supply from this horrible security risk? More important, what did he put in place to prevent this after 9/11?

The answer you all know. Nothing. He failed America in its time of need. Shame on Bush.

Bush meets with agriculture leaders


The Associated Press

AUSTIN, Texas -- Continuing his series of policy meetings, President-elect George W. Bush met with agricultural leaders Friday to hear the concerns of the nation's farmers. Production by America's farmers is an issue of national security, he said. "A country that can feed itself is a country that is more secure in its borders," Bush said.

-snip-

"We had a wide-ranging discussion, We know, I know, how important agriculture is to our country," Bush said. "There are a lot of issues farmers now face. I'm worried about the family farmer and people who make a living off the land."

-snip-

The new administration needs to keep Europe's mad-cow scare from spreading to the United States. It also faces court battles over the Clinton administration's food safety initiatives and the Agriculture Department's treatment of minority farmers.

8. you think 3,000 dead in 9/11 would get him fired, but
you're telling me a single mad cow is gonna get him canned?

HA! I say HA!

Let's see. The guy let the country suffer its worst attack EVER, resulting in the murders of 3,000 people ............. he started an illegal war that killed thousands of people including almost 500 American troops who are continuing to be killed .....

And you're telling me one sick cow is gonna get him fired?

The guy could be fucking a 12 year old retarded hermaphrodite on the 50 yard line of the superbowl at halftime and the press would simply cheer him on.

9. When it comes to security issues, the Pig Farmer is ALL TALK...
...and no BEEF! The nation's food supply, which I agree is a security issue, is yet another example of how Bush LET IT ALL SLIDE because he been too preoccupied with things such as "clearing his daddy's name" (Saddam removal), clearing tumbleweeds from the pig farm and his "drive" (as in, "now... watch this drive.")


Where's the BEEF, Shrub?
