That's no good for us. Of course, leftists will love it.
Please provide a working link, or I will pull this thread, too. Thanks.
They will need it after we quit paying the dues and kick their sorry butts out of the country.

Hey. The UN goons need new black limos every couple years.
!?
God owns the oceans.
(and pretty much everything else)
Expect piracy and "unlicensed" operations to happen if it ever becomes commercially viable. They oceans cover 70% of the planet. No way can they patrol all of it.
You know, they need to put the Clintons behind bars so they will not be the fronts to whoever takes over the world.
IMO, it won't pass in the senate. Have you seen any credible source/speech that show that W is really supporting this treaty?
LOST is an extremely serious power grab that would weaken American sovereignty and transfer power to the UN and other international bodies.
Lugar is the key traitor here.
U.N. Law of the Sea Treaty Threatens U.S. Sovereignty

Big Trouble for Law of the Sea

A United Nations treaty awaitinag confirmation before the Senate, national security experts warn, would, if approved, cripple the U.S. Navy, empower potential enemies including China, make the nation vulnerable to submarine cruise-missile attack, and help terrorists. Nonetheless, momentum has been building stealthily in the Senate to ratify the treaty. And this time Republicans can't point fingers at their liberal Democratic colleagues or even at the former Clinton administration. The culprits behind the sneak move, Capitol Hill sources say, are senior Republican senators and key figures in the administration of President George W. Bush.
At issue is the U.N. Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST), which has been in the works since the 1970s, when the Soviet Union and the so-called Non-Aligned Movement tried to use the United Nations to wrest control of the seas from the United States and its allies. Under LOST, a global U.N. agency called the International Seabed Authority (ISA) would take control of the world's oceans, seven-tenths of the earth's surface. The ISA would not be accountable to dues-paying members but would be a self-financing entity imposing a tax on countries that exploit natural resources on the ocean floor.
In 1982, President Ronald Reagan refused to sign the treaty, officially called the U.N. Convention on the Law of the Seas (UNCLOS). But President Bill Clinton signed it in 1994, claiming that provisions that attack U.S. interests had been changed, and asked the Senate to ratify it.
Now, I ask you!
Which nation has the most ocean coastal miles of any other nation??
Now, This is a two part question!
Which nation has the most to lose among all the other nations??
Bingo!!!!!
LOST PING
The TITANIC is a WRECK. How can you WRECK a WRECK? And it is rapidly turning to a pile of RUST. Stuff left two miles down is useless to anybody.

"The Law of the Sea Treaty originated in the 1970s as part of the United Nations' redistributionist agenda known as the "New International Economic Order." The convention covers such issues as fishing and navigation, but the controversy arose mainly over seabed mining. In essence, the Law of the Sea Treaty was designed to transfer wealth and technology from the industrialized states to the Third World."
This happened completely under the radar.
