Washington PostWASHINGTON -- President Bush, increasingly concerned about a possible avian flu pandemic, revealed Tuesday that any part of the country where the virus breaks out could likely be quarantined and that he is considering using the military to enforce it.
"The best way to deal with a pandemic is to isolate it and keep it isolated in the region in which it begins," he said during a wide-ranging Rose Garden news conference.
The president was asked if his recent talk of giving the military the lead in responding to large natural disasters such as Hurricane Katrina and other catastrophes was in part the result of his concerns that state and local personnel aren't up to the task of a flu outbreak.
"Yes," he replied.
After the bungled initial federal response to Katrina, Bush suggested putting the Pentagon in charge of search-and-rescue efforts in times of a major terrorist attack or similarly catastrophic natural disaster. He has argued that the armed forces have the ability to quickly mobilize the equipment, manpower and communications capabilities needed in times of crisis.
Then what? Nuke it?
Dude your the one posting concerns about it. So he's trying to get a plan ready ..
If he didn't have a plan.. you would complain..
If he makes a plan .. you complain..
Man Bush is under your skin good....
If anything Bush owns your ass because you dwell on him 24x7...
But that's all you do.. dwell.. You don't do anything or present anything better.
Just complaints.. links.. more complaints...
La ho... za her...
I suppose it is more respectable to do nothing but kiss his ass.
Bush needs to have the countries top Medical Scientists Working on studying and trying to develop a vaccine for this. Hopefully, this is already being done...done in cooperation with other countries as well...
And where did this originate? I've only heard snippets on the news about Canada.
We NEED to find the Source! Attack this thing from BOTH ENDS. Source and Cure.
The Flu is not with us, it is against us!!
