It's amusing to read the posts from people who believe that Bush's plan has anything to do with forest fires. I'm guessing that Rush Limbaugh is also trying to sell this whooper. This is just another payback for the people who donate money to Bush's campaign.
Lumber companies want to cut down old growth forests, they don't give a shit about fires or underbrush or anything else. Bush gets big donations from lumber companies so he wants to find any excuse to allow them to cut down really old trees that are currently protected by state and federal laws. Cutting down a forest to save it from burining down is not a solution, it's a bad joke.
The idea that anyone at all believes Bush's "fire" story is mind blowing.
