well, there are all those canals providing fresh water (cleaner than anything here) that they can harvest and bottle up, right?
Bush is finally starting to repeat his father's mistakes (for the first 2 1/2 years, he was repeating Reagan's). Bush Sr. tried to do the "send a man to Mars" speech in 1990, just prior to the Gulf Crisis, and promptly failed to put a single dime into it. Bush Jr. can say all he wants about it, but there's no money to be made from it, so there's no money to put into it.
If money goes into it, keep an eye on which company's get the contracts. we've already had a few cases of Cheney's old homes getting extra attention/contracts (and in one case, without the normal RFP and procurement bids they're supposed to do -- the company that was caught over-charging for gas in Iraq last month).
