Dangerous animal virus on US mainland?

The Bush administration is likely to move its research on one of the most contagious animal diseases from an isolated island laboratory to the U.S. mainland near herds of livestock, raising concerns about a catastrophic outbreak.

Mor fear mongering from the Bush Clan . So as to try to keep us all in the dark while he destroys America .

[nobody]

This is absolutely reckless! If I didn't know any better this is a deliberate attempt to bring dispair, amonst US citizens. What more can this adminstration do to destroy this country?

[averageperson]

what is wrong with man is he realy that stupid ?

[Once-ler]

Foot (in) mouth is what Bush has. The animal disease is called Hoof & Mouth.

[Doug in Texas]

Hoof in Mouth has no business being brought into the US.
Ranchers should get ready to wipe the foam off their cattle's mouths before they sell them.

Just trying to bring about the Rapture. Big War in the Middle East, spreading this pestilence will cause Famine. Fantastic. I claim dibs on the nicest car abandoned by the raptured peeps. Only, I doubt that god really wants to be associated with self-righteous putzes that buy into that crap. "Oooh, Gawd literally wrote a book 2000 years ago, and he was talking about me!" -- blech.

We the people ... no longer ... have a government of, by and for the people. In that same document are provisions for we the people to recover the "power." It is time, now! Or does anyone care?

[John Galt]

Seems to me it's the "skeptical democrats" who may be "fear mongering".

However, safety as well as related economic concerns are reasonable: Anyone who has followed stories out of the UK about hoof and mouth disease will understand its devastating consequences.

Hopefully those reviewing the documents concerning an on shore facility will be those with knowledge of the disease, its transmission and other relevant factors rather than a bunch of politicians who know nothing.

Why? Why should the billion dollar granges lose one cent...they won't eat the poisoned meat...leave it to the poor slobs.

Why doesn't Bush visit the island or is he the one who put the virus there?

He should get this Hoof & Mouth disease...well deserving..

Blech, feh, etc. are sounds of exasperated disgust. Snoopy said it alot in the Peanuts comic. Note: I am not quoting Snoopy nor suggesting that I know his postition on any of this.

Just imagine what history books are going to look like in 10 years. It makes me want to laugh. And, we wonder why other countries hate us.

"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men (and women) do nothing." Edmund Burke

We just have to be very mindful of who and what are truly evil.

I understand I have a duty to protect and nurture all things on this earth. So if my neck of the woods were being considered for the disease lab, that's as far as it would go--considering, and then NOT!

Perhaps you should research the spread of AIDS in the U.S...Poisons used in cigarettes...the very idea of inhaling ANY type of smoke is HAZARDOUS to one's health. If our cuntry is so "over-populated" why is Congress (Democratically controlled) trying to increase immigration and Visas tri-fold?

The only reason people DIE of complications due to smoking is because they CHOOSE to smoke.

The only reason people SUCCOMB to AIDS is due to negligent and/or unprotected sexual contact.

You should check the Congressional voting records of the Democrats that are trying to wholesale our country (and soverignty) by giving amnesty to those that have absolutely NO RIGHT to be in our country in the first place.

[vile old man]

It is sad to see that smart people like yourself are so powerless due to the fact that most american people are dumd and vote for the wrong people. The american people could do something about thier situation if they had a brain.
But are you too ego? or are you too brainwashed? to get together and make changes by yourself , you can do it , you allready have guns all overtheplace.
Or why not all you smart americans come to Europe and we will educate you further, and teach you about the rest of the world and what you could find in it.
And YES i agree that usa is very hated, but also we pitty you, because all of you that are good in usa ,, it cant be easy for you to see your country turn into a sestpool of corruption and poverty.
