On the recordSeptember 25, 2001
All around America firefighters, policemen, and rescue workers prove to be heroes. What is troubling though, in Washington State, weeks before the attack, four firefighters died because of red tape and the Endangered Species Act. Officials there delayed using helicopters for 4 hours on a massive fire because it might harm the protected bull trout fingerlings. Beam me up. Since when are fish more important than the lives of our brave firefighters? This is bull trout. I yield back all the cod liver oil in the bowels of these conservationists and bureaucratic leaders.
