There is no UneXploded Ordnance anywhere on Roosevelt Roads Naval Base. Only a 2-mile-long runway with airport facilities, Hotel, Hospital, Golf Course, 1,100 buildings, 9 Piers in a harbor you can dock an aircraft carrier in, Jails, Water Filtration Plants, Power Generation Plants, miles of roads, plumbing, electrical and communications infrastructure, miles of prime beaches and the corrupt politicians got the whole 11,000 acres fenced for free.
You better believe the Puerto Rican ingrates think it was "just beautiful", too and that we Gringos are suckers.
As far as Vieques goes, wait until you see the amount of U.S. Taxpayers dollars the EPA spends cleaning up imagined Naval training related polution all over that tiny island.
We were suckered on that deal, too.
So, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, a U.S. possession ,now has a white elephant in Rosey Roads we no longer need.
The PIP, the Independence Party got themselves a hollow victory on both these things in the end. The Commonwealth will soon discover exactly what Corizon Aquino
s Phillipines discovered. It'll be fun .
