Democrats this week hope to revise a stalled Clinton-era initiative to stop timber-cutting in national forests, even as fires fueled by unkept undergrowth ravage the West.

The so-called "roadless" plan would ban any new road building through national forests, most of which are built and used by timber companies to clear trees and by summer fire fighting crews to reach wildland fires.

Someone ought to get PR-smart and start calling this lunacy 'Forest Fires Forever' or something equally catchy. 'The Forest Fire Protection and Family Home Destruction Act of 2002'. Good Lord!

In other words, look for more forest fires in the near future.

It will be a "treacherous task" to convince lawmakers to adopt such a proposal at this time..

That pretty well sums up about everything the Democrats try to do...treachery is their strong suit.

Perfect...absolutely perfect!

The proposal is tied up in the courts — the subject of nine separate lawsuits — but Democrats and a handful of Republicans will try tomorrow to attach it to the 2003 Interior spending bill on the floor.

Please do this Dems, please. Then we can send copies of the legislation to all residents surrounding the recently burned areas, just to get their input.
