  Attorney General: Nine States Sue Bush Administration For Gutting Clean Air Act
The Administration's action represents the first major weakening of the landmark federal environmental law since it was signed into law by President Nixon in 1970.
From its first days in office, the Bush Administration has criticized New Source Review and sought to undermine its implementation, despite the prior filing of the clean air lawsuits by the federal government and despite the conclusion of U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft's Department of Justice that the New Source Review lawsuits are legally sound.
The Bush Administration is the first in three decades to attempt deliberately to gut key components of the Clean Air Act.

 The scandal sheet - Salon.com
If the next four years of Bush and the GOP running the federal government are anything like the previous four, however, potential scandals will lead to few political consequences for the Republicans.
Bush opponents will likely be disappointed if they are waiting for a renewal of the supposed "second-term scandal jinx" dogging Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan and Clinton.
The scandal: The Department of Justice completely botched the nation's first post-9/11 terrorism trial, as seen when the convictions of three Detroit men allegedly linked to al-Qaida were overturned in September 2004.

 What to Expect on the Korean Peninsula from a Second Bush Administration
He began a new round of multilateral dialogue with North Korea in his first administration and contrasted his multilateral approach to the bilateral approach taken by President Clinton between 1993 and 2000.
The “Bush Doctrine” calls for the use of pre-emptive force to prevent an imminent attack on the United States, but President Bush has made it clear on several occasions that he wants a peaceful, negotiated settlement on the Korean Peninsula and has no intention of initiating the use of force against North Korea.
I expect the second Bush Administration to pursue the Proliferation Security Initiative with vigor and to address future military threats with a combination of diplomacy, deterrence, strategic defenses, arms control and non-proliferation initiatives and capable offensive forces.

 In a first, Bush budget links funding to program performance (2/4/02) -- www.GovernmentExecutive.com
The Bush administration used performance analyses to make funding decisions for more than 100 federal programs in its fiscal 2003 budget proposal.
On the other hand, funding for fossil energy research and development programs at the Energy Department was slashed from $101 million this year to $58 million in fiscal 2003 because the programs were judged ineffective and duplicative.
The performance reviews grow out of a Bush administration initiative to link performance with budgets that was first announced in the fiscal 2002 budget.

 The BRAD BLOG : EXCLUSIVE: FIRST BUSH-APPOINTED CHAIR OF U.S. ELECTION ASSISTANCE COMMISSION SAYS 'NO STANDARDS' FOR ...
Soaries was appointed by George W. Bush as the first chair of the commission created by the federal Help America Vote Act (HAVA) in the wake of the 2000 Presidential Election Debacle.
Here we were, the first federal commission, responsible for implementing federal law in the area of election administration and for the first three months we didn’t even have an address.
Where Soaries was disappointed at the lack of interest by officials for true reform by the EAC during his tenure, his successor appears to have been using the post as an arm of the White House to continue its manipulation and perversion of the American electoral system.

 village voice > news > Mondo Washington: The First Bush War by James Ridgeway
Since so many of the people involved in preparations for the war against Iraq (Cheney, Powell, and Wolfowitz being the most prominent) worked in the first Bush administration and had a hand in crafting Desert Storm in 1991, there is renewed speculation as to whether that war was a put-up job by Bush senior.
And before and during that war there was considerable interest in reports of a meeting between Saddam and U.S. ambassador April Glaspie in which she purportedly told him, "We have no opinion on your Arab-Arab conflicts such as your dispute with Kuwait" and "Secretary [of State James] Baker has directed me to emphasize the instruction.
And there were the little things, like the heart-wrenching account by a 15-year-old Kuwaiti girl volunteering in a hospital who said she watched as Iraqi soldiers barged in and stole incubators, leaving some 300 babies to die on the floor.
