This harkens back to a controversy. That is, that despite tests to the contrary, the EPA declared the area safe. Political pressure was charged.

The link I posted higher up to "try" to answer Howard's question was 3 years after 9/11, it's an interesting read IMO sandorski.

Sad. Thanks for the link.

What the hell does this have to do with Bush?

Bush allowed 911 to happen for oil/blood money and power.

This event is tragic enough without your trolling, thank you very much.


I am not trolling.

I agree, this is a very sad thing. This man did a honorable thing by helping. Just saying Bush has some blame in this mans death.

Yes...yes he did. And next he's going to have the military nuke Chicago. I mean...he caused the hurricane in New Orleans and he knew about the Tsunami and such.

I live about a quarter mile from ground zero and I've had respiratory probs ever since. I should be ok since I wasn't in New York for the first 6 months after 9/11... I was living on campus miles away but I noticed my problems soon after moving back home after graduation. The dude was 34 too, it's sad... his 4 yr old daughter is now an orphan. :(

actually, the link posted above seems to indicate that bush did have something to do with clearing the air.

EPA did declare the air clean.

FEMA and the EPA operate seperately from Bush. He might have some control over people in FEMA, but how they respond to problems is not Bush's fault.

did you read the article?

the day that EPA head Christie Todd Whitman issued a press release saying she was pleased to note that the air was safe to breathe, the EPA still hadn?t completed testing for mercury, cadmium, lead, dioxin, PAHs, or PCBs. The Inspector General?s report later revealed that the EPA was required to send all of its press statements to the White House Council on Environmental Quality, which ran them through a heavy clean-and-rinse cycle before releasing them to the public, transforming modest yet cautionary public advisories into cheerful proclamations that the air was clean.

first of all, Christie Todd Whitman had NO BUSINESS being head of EPA, that type of appointment should be left up to chemists, not bad former governors.

next of all, she is in no position to make an educated decision

next, all reports were sent toe the white house before being released to the press, hence Bush is Indirectly responsible.

quit trying to white wash bush's role. there is NO EXCUSE for what happened there.

i, fortunately was not on the island when it happened, but i was very close, i was near giants stadium when the attack happened and started to drive home immediately when i saw the news of the two planes hitting the twin towers, i was just past exit 12 on NJ Turnpike when i saw the tower collapse in my review mirror. it was a devastating sight.

but to declare the air safe that day is just ludicrous beyond imagination.

Bush appoints the Heads of both. Both seemed rather inept in their duties.
