If Mr. Bush made the CDC a priority, congress would rubber stamp it like have everything else he has asked for since 9/11 >The people who are responsible for this are not doing their jobs.

The people responsible aren't doing their jobs, and that includes the executive branch. Blaming this on congress is a total cop-out. I don't think defense spending is frivolous either if, as I said, it is for appropriate use. An anti-missile missile that fails 50% of the time against a radar painted target, and will probably never be used doesn't seem a very appropriate use of money or effort, or a very valid addition to the defense arsenal. It seems...(what's the word I'm looking for???).....frivilous? > >Yeah, but they aren't.
