Space shuttle Columbia dissinegrates on re-entry

[Dark Jaguar]

I've been hearing some VERY sickening stuff about people actually accusing President Bush of knowing that the shuttle was flawed but allowing it to take off because it's disaster would boost his popularity. The monumental stupidity of that statement is obserd. Why WHY would Bush be getting briefed on all shuttle problems found? Why would NASA have to check with the president before being allowed to work on any flaws they themselves discovered? This alone is enough to mean that it could never happen, so I really don't have to go on about the other illogicals of this, but I will anyway. How could they know that whatever flaw would occur on landing and would certainly guarentee a horrible crash? Here's a final thing to ponder. How on Earth would Bush know this would be something all of America would care about? After all, a few train wrecks and shipwrecks happened before then, but they didn't pop onto the radar. This did, and I suspect the only reason is because the people are fickle and any of the incidents could have been the one that "caught". Finally, if this was prooven to be so, Bush would be impeached as a traitor and possibly put to death before a firing squad. Certainly not worth the risk.

Now then, all that in mind, the first bit of logic alone is plenty enough to point out exactly how stupid this is. Anyway, it's just as horrible as the rumors that Bush knew 9/11 was going to occur but allowed it anyway. It's just nonsense, and sickening nonsense that detracts from the reality of this tragedy at that.
