Is it your belief that Bush II just continued on with Clinton's wetlands policies? 'Cause three seconds on Google brought me to this, from the Congressional Research Service in 2002:
- Both the Clinton and earlier Bush Administrations had made wetland protection a priority, but the current Bush Administration has not announced any comprehensive wetlands policies.
Please tell me you aren't surprised by this.

It's non-responsive. Read the articles I've posted. The problem is not one of wetlands policy, but rather the long-standing policy of paving every navigable riverbed in the south.
ETA: If you wanted to protect the wetlands, you'd do as Clinton would to thousands of western farmers: tell them they can't develop the land. Unfortunately, that would mean moving everyone out of New Orleans and the surrounding bayou. The one thing going for that, however, would be it would be orderly. Unless Kelo has a house there too.
