Finally, a president who understands sensible forest management. Instead of Kow-towing to the environmental whackos, President Bush promotes thinning forests to reduce the risk of wildfires.

“The forest policy of our government is misguided policy. It doesn’t work,” Bush told Oregon residents who live near a wildfire blaze that is Oregon’s largest on record. “We need to thin. We need to make our forest healthy by using some common sense.”

After the Clinton-Gore years of mis-management, we’re seeing more dangerous forest fires. By the time Bush leaves office, we should be seeing fewer forest fires.
