Bush to pressure Senate to revive U.N. sea treaty

I tend to take things at WND with a little skepticism but if this is true then Bush no longer has my support.

[rellimpank]

—likewise. There can be no sane reason to attempt to revive this idiocy—

[driftdiver]

Do a search and you’ll find many references to Bush supporting this treaty in 2004. I haven’t found a second source indicating he has brought it up again. I don’t remember hearing that he tried in 2004. There is nothing good for America in this treaty.

What the heck is up with our Govt?? Has everyone in Washington become so disconnected with the rest of the country they would sell us out?

DITTO to both points you made.

[driftdiver]

Do a search using “bush and law of the sea treaty” and you’ll find many references to his support for this treat since 2004.

During her confirmation hearing Condoleezza Rice indicated supported this.

This treaty give the UN the power to tax Americans and puts us under a UN court jurisdiction. It also mandates that American technology be given to anyone who doesn’t have it.

I haven’t found that he’s brought it up again though.

....if this is true then Bush no longer has my support.

Haven't you been paying attention to what Bush and Poppy have been up to?

They've been at this since Bush 41 tried to maneuver Ronald Reagan into signing it the first time around.

If Ronnie vetoed it, that's about all the hint anyone needs on this issue.

We need a guidebook to who this international clerisy are, and why they think they have the God-given right to plow whole countries under, including the United States.

The late Elizabeth Mann Borgese and her pals are like cockroaches. Rejected by humanity, they just keep at it. Nobody owns the ocean, so they'll just grab it, declare it their own property, and then all the other kids will have to play by their rules if they want to engage in international trade. It's an old idea -- the Gutian barbarians did that to the Sumerians 4500 years ago. People never learn. You cannot let high-concept swindlers like these screw with you.

If this is true will Bush just resign.
He is more a DNC operative than a republican .
Amnesty and this crap , Mel Martinez , is he trying to
destroy the RNC.

...under the control of the U.N.? Those morons can't even "control" the zipper on the front of their pants...or the soap in the shower!!

[Ranger Drew]

It is true, my friend. ...and unfortunately, nothing new. The Bush family and their cronies have long been globalists and have been aiming to forfeit this nation to the one world government for many years.

I am just surprised that it's taken the American people so long to start waking up to their treason.

Resign? GWB won't do that. Perhaps tar and feathers are in order at last for all those who would sell out our nation to the new world order.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Absentee president. What the h is W thinking ?

[EGPWS]

– even providing for a "tax" that would be paid directly to the international body by companies mining in the world's oceans.

Always a method for the madness.

[EGPWS]

...LOST prohibits the ability of nuclear submarines from the U.S. and other nations to rove freely through the world's oceans.

Well, we always have the Great Lakes to utilize our submarines to thwart any attempted attacks from Canada...

[Theodore R.]

He must think that liberals would begin to give him their approval rating if he can revive the treaty. But most liberals don’t know about this treaty and probably wouldn’t know that GWB tried to revive it.

[Theodore R.]

Another irony, Mel Martinez has a conservative voting record, like Mrs. E. Dole of NC.

[Theodore R.]

Actually, president’s can’t “veto” treaties: perhaps you meant “disapprove” instead of “veto”.

[Theodore R.]

Yes, Prescott Bush (defended by “Bill” Clinton in an effort to embarrass GHWB in the 1992 debate in Richmond) was an early globalist too, wasn’t he? Prescott Bush was also a board member, I believe, of Planned Parenthood.

[Theodore R.]

No, GWB is NOT a Democratic operative: he just wants some Democrats to say something nice about him during his latest years of the doldrums.

[Theodore R.]

It could be that the “leadership” class in DC is so self-confident in the people’s inability to know and understand that it thinks it can do as it pleases with impunity. Pat
Buchanan said that the two parties had become “two wings of the same bird of prey.”

The Bush-led Democrat resurgence.

I really have major Bush fatigue. I know the man is a decent man,, I realize he does this stuff because he really has this “one world we are all neighbors new world order thing” going on like his dad, I realize he just thinks it would be in the best interest of us all to just submit to the global vision, not because he is a commie Nazi like Hillary or anything,, but the results are pretty much the same. It is sort of like the difference between being a Wiccan or being an outright Satanist. The Wiccan takes a pretty, scenic, little windy road through the country side, past cute little cottages and wishing wells grown over with vines and elves and fairies dancing along the way,, the Satanist takes a massive superhighway with unlimited speed straight to hell,, but they still end up in the same place.
