Unharvested forests cause forest fires. Well, that's true - if there were no trees to burn, there would be no fires. Solution: get rid of trees. Bush happens to own a lumber mill company, BTW.
Whew..glad you put what he said in "english", b/c I was sitting here like "WTF???"

No matter how anyone "dresses" it up, the man can't speak worth a damn and as far as being "one of us"...well, don't include me in that mess.
