Bush's war more important than energy and science

via MSNBC: http://cosmiclog.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/04/02/851992.aspx

Congress axed virtually all the money that was set aside for ITER (fusion energy research) operations during the current fiscal year.

How much are we talking here? $215M next fiscal year, or about 10% of the total that is shared with 6 other countries that we are reneging on.

The only investment Bush will make is America is a deficit and dead soldiers.

It wasn't the war it was the Democrats.

But hey. Make it a campaign issue. McCain needs all the help he can get.
