As far as I know, there's only one fire with a known cause. A blown transformer down next to San Diego... The rest are most probably "Man-Made".

Any guesses out there on who the culprits could be?

CALIFORNIA FIRES ... BUSH'S FAULT. OF COURSE!
Well, you knew this just had to happen. Fires are devastating California from North of Los Angeles down to San Diego. Hundreds of thousands of people have had to flee their homes. Disaster is an understatement. So along comes MoveOn Moonbat Senator Barbara Boxer to announce who is to blame. And who would that be? Why none other than George Bush. It would seem that President Bush has taken the time off from killing children and becoming amused as our servicemen are killed in Iraq to plot these fire strategies for California. And just how is this all Bush's fault? Why, he sent all of those California National Guardsmen to Iraq .... For his amusement, of course.
It must be really strange to have such a bizarre woman representing you in the U.S. Senate.
This will just be the beginning. Look for more and more Democrats to lay the blame for the California fires .. and the failure to contain them .. on Bush. Hey .. it's what Democrats do.
But the Harry Reid isn't much better. You knew that this had to happen sooner or later also. Reid is blaming the fires on global warming. There is, of course, no scientific proof whatsoever of this ... nor is there any evidence ... but as long as you have a natural disaster on your hands, you might as well find a way to use it to push your agenda. So ... global warming it is!
The truth is that these fires .. well, not the fires themselves, but the severity of the fires .. can be blamed on whacko environmentalists. Every time someone in California suggests thinning out the brush that fuels these fires you have some environmentalist screaming about kangaroo rats or field mice or some such nonsense. I can remember many years ago there was a community outside of Los Angeles that wanted to clear the brush that abutted their homes. The environmental moonbats said no .. they went to court and managed to prevent the creation of a fire break. One homeowner told the eco-radicals to take a hike, and created his firebreak anyway. While the tree huggers were fuming, along came the fire. Can you guess which was the only home in the neighborhood that didn't burn down?
Now ... I know I'm not the first person to have thought of this. Do you remember about four years ago ... there was a report that some Al Qaeda detainees had said something about starting fires in a Western state? Here's the story from USA Today, dated July 11, 2003. Well ... doesn't it seam just the least bit curious that all of these fires from north of Los Angeles to San Diego erupted at pretty much the same time? No, I'm not saying they were started by terrorists. I am saying that if terrorists had decided to set the fires it would have been a pretty easy task ... and there is some history here.

I have lived in California, most of my life. Arriving here in early 1942, and returning after a few shot forays elsewhere, over the years. We have always joked that CA. has two season, the fire season, and one for mud slides. Every year we have fires somewhere in S. Calif. Then when when the rains come in Jan. and Feb. we get mud slides, because the vegetation burned off during the summer.
This is just more fire, over a larger area than we have seen before. As for it being anyones fault, I don't think so. Arnold was on the news just last night, talking about how he is getting everything he asks for from the feds, so as usual anything side by Boxer really needs to be considered as politics, rather than reality.

I watched a segment on the forest fires on 60 minutes on Sunday. They were saying that part of what is causing the fires to be so bad in Montana is that there is so much scrub vegation in the forests now. The fact that the forest service has been putting fires out for over 100 years has caused the under growth to be too thick now and if the fires had been allowed to burn then the under growth wouldn't be so thick now.

the conditions that led to these fires are the fall guy here.

also the cops shot a guy and killed him, he was busy starting another fire.
if u remember the fires of 2003 were started by a stupid hunter.

they are looking for another guy they believe set fires.

these are the ones to blame , no one else. mother nature and fools.

babe

How long will it take for the partisan mainstream media to spin and blame President Bush for the California wildfires?



How long? They are already doing it!

85% 1,076
Blame Bush? They are blaming it on illegal immigrants already!

1% 17
As long as it takes to find a partisan civilian in California to go on camera and blame Bush....and then claim to be his love child. From Mars.

1% 11
As soon as the major fire fighting operations are concluded, the mainstream media will immediately blame President Bush and follow along with the propaganda.

12% 150
The mainstream media will not advocate the propaganda this time; they learned their lesson from Hurricane Katrina, and have turned toward pure, legitimate journalism.

there is a rumor going around. you know how rumors are don't u. now i got this from a gal who's friend is a fireman(don"t even know this is true) anyway according to the rumor, our part of town was not supposed to get phone calls to leave. dispatcher got it wrong, should have been west valley and not east valley where i live.

could be true i guess. everyone has come back , sans any official notice.

not this thread but those who are blaming bush are just stupid. it is just a part of living in southern calif. i have been here fifty years and have seen may fires. this was just larger in scope and areas affected.

still hanging in,
