From the front page of CNN when this was memed:

] The bill under threat of veto would extend funding to research on
] embryonic stem cell lines that did not exist in 2001, when Bush
] limited funding to lines in existence at the time. Bush said he
] would not allow "taxpayers' money to promote science which
] destroys life in order to save life."

I see absolutely no difference between that line of reasoning and the one purported for the War on Terror. Sacrificing lives to save lives is what being a World Power is all about as Bush reminds us time and time again when he cuts social programs to fund the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

It pisses me off when people use their morality to whatever conflicting ends it suits them. Fucking hypocrite.
