unbelievable

so bush has decided to further bankrupt the nation with his $7.1 billion "bird flu" contingency plan, based largely on the opinions of scientists and experts. why is it that bush chooses to ignore the opinions of the very same scientists and experts on matters such as weapons of mass destruction, global warming, stem-cell research, etc.?

giant pharmaceutical companies (a major bush campaign contributor) stand to reap the fiscal rewards of this initiative, is one possible answer. this guy is such a jackass it is unbelievable.
