It's not about Bush's "lack of concern," or at least it shouldn't be. Scientists could have told you two weeks or two years ago that this is an issue.

The damage to the wetlands took place slowly over the last two hundred years. Nobody in the Bush Admin was going to reverse that in five years. The people who are crying "Bush responsible" and "wetlands" in the same sentence are trying to trick the audeince into believe Bush had something to do with the erosion just because he hasn't done anything to start reversing it. That. Is. Intellectual. Dishonesty.
