Facts are facts..Bush worked towards getting LOST resurrected. Many republicans were alarmed.
The issue was resurrected recently in the U.S. Senate at President Bush’s urging even though critics making up a wide-ranging chorus have concluded it would grant the United Nations control of 70 percent of the planet under its oceans, and undermine U.S. sovereignty.
The plan recently was approved by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, on a 17-4 vote, and now must go before the full Senate.
Sen. Trent Lott, R-Miss., has called it, “U.N. on steroids,” and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee has concluded it is “the dumbest thing we’ve ever done. It’s like taking our sovereignty and handing it over to some international tribunal. What’s wrong with us?”
The affirmation of Bush’s position came from White House spokeswoman Dana Perino, who responded to a question from Les Kinsolving, WND’s White House correspondent. He asked. “How does the president react to the fact that while he supports the Law of the Sea Treaty, all the leading Republican candidates for president now have announced they oppose it?”
