TV: Addressing a crowd of supporters in Texas today, President Bush continued to stress his limits on stem-cell research and human cloning. "Technology is charging forward at a frightening speed, and we must steady its pace with the reins of humanity." "There are many exciting things this brave new world opens up. For example: giant, two-headed mutant soldiers with four or more arms. Soldiers that could save countless American lives on the battlefield." "But could I reconcile the ethical and moral dilemmas such super-commands would present? Probably not."

Yeah, Bush didn’t believe in genetically modified soldiers. Just send red-blooded American young people in uniform to die in a pointless war in another country.
