Aside from his judges, W has been a dismal president. People will remember him for the Iraq war, high gas prices, and spending his last years on abominations like this.
Tar and feathers are too good for those sellouts.
Excellent. I cringe everytime I hear this homeland security crap that translates to shaking me and my family down in airports. They never miss a beat on harassing American citizens, but boy, the Fort Dix conspiracy got dropped in a hurry, and was barely mentioned by the media megaphone.
Bush is a PC robot like the rest of the NWO thugs. I drew some gasps here a few months ago when I said “I despise the man. I loathe the man.” He has been the biggest disappointment of my life as a Republican president. I don’t like betrayers and I don’t suffer them easily.
Bush can’t be trusted. When he goes, good riddance.
CONDI IS LOST AT SEA

“During her confirmation hearings, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was asked a question that got lost in the Barbara Boxer brouhaha: Did the administration favor the ratification of the Law of the Sea Treaty, or LOST?
“Rice said the administration ‘would certainly like to see it pass as soon as possible.’ Assuming she was authorized to say that by President Bush … the question is why?”
REAGAN SAID NO TO UNLOST, BUT GWB IS PUSHING IT
“LOST was a bad idea when President Reagan refused to sign it in 1982 and actually fired the State Department staff members who helped negotiate it. It was drafted at the behest of Soviet bloc and Third World dictators interested in a scheme to weaken U.S. power while transferring wealth to the developing world.”
“Because WND have lied so many times before regarding all these issues about Bush”
Yes, however there is no doubt he did support this. The question is regarding he is trying to bring it back up.
Really? Enlighten us, jv, show us where they lied.
The article is talking about the older version of the UN sea law treaty that was refused by President Reagan. The treaty was changed in the 1990's to address US concern so there is no "selling of US sovereignty" and President Bush will never sell US sovereignty to any nation or nations. Enough with the kooky conspiracy theories that harm the reputation of this very respected forum.
The man in congress leading the battle to stop this is Sen. Jim Inhofe (HE is SUCH a good man!)
Law of the Sea Treaty Battle Surfaces in the Senate
WASHINGTON, DC, March 24, 2004 (ENS) - President George W. Bush and his administration are in support of Senate ratification for the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, a top State Department official told a Congressional hearing on Tuesday.

John Turner, assistant secretary of state for oceans policy, reaffirmed the administration’s support for the treaty in testimony Tuesday before the Senate Environment Committee.
Senator James Inhofe, Republican chairman of the Senate Environment Committee and a critic of the treaty, cited published newspaper accounts reporting that the Bush administration was retreating from its effort to win Senate endorsement for the treaty under pressure from conservatives who believe it gives the United Nations too much power.
Turner rebutted those reports. “I wouldn’t be here testifying before you if there was any retreat or change of position of the administration,” Turner said. He expressed the “full support” of President Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, Secretary of State Colin Powell and key national security agencies, he said.
I don't trust him.
blah, blah, show us where WND lied. You need to have some back up around here when you call someone a liar.
More of LOST
Elisabeth Mann Borgese, a world government activist, was described as the “Mother of the Oceans” or “First Lady of the Oceans” for her role in crafting and promoting LOST.5 She not only stated her admiration for Karl Marx, the father of communism, but was an ardent advocate of the New International Economic Order.
Ironically, Borgese agreed with Kirkpatrick about LOST being critical to the NIEO. In The Oceanic Circle, still available from the liberal Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C., Borgese wrote about how she and Arvid Pardo wrote a chapter for Reshaping the International Order: A Report to the Club of Rome,
Socialist Elisabeth Mann Borgese: Mother of the Law of the Sea Treaty
compiled under the direction of Jan Tinbergen. The Borgese-Pardo chapter was entitled, “The New International Economic Order and the Law of the Sea,” and “tried to indicate how the emerging law of the Sea Convention could reinforce the goals of the developing countries in a new international economic order.”7
Borgese identified several “major issues” on which LOST and the NIEO “could reinforce each other.” These included:
o Probably the “most important [concept] of all” - LOST’s recognition of the oceans being the “Common Heritage of Mankind,” thereby placing poor countries on an “equal” relationship with advanced countries and “a right to share in the resources that had been declared to be the Common Heritage of Mankind.”
o Creation of Exclusive Economic Zones, giving coastal states control “over all resources and economic uses in a 200-mile zone.”
o Establishment of the International Seabed Authority, giving developing countries a role in “financial decision-making” on a global level.
Yet many Senate Republicans, led by Richard Lugar (Ind.), chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, support LOST.
Senate Democrats, including all Democratic members of the Foreign Relations Committee, support it as well. George Soros, who spent $23 million in an effort to defeat President Bush’s re-election, has made financial contributions to six of eight Democratic members of the Foreign Relations Committee - Barak Obama, Barbara Boxer, Bill Nelson, Joe Biden, Paul Sarbanes, and John Kerry. A political action committee associated with the pro-world government Citizens for Global Solutions, formerly known as the World Federalist Association, contributed financially to Foreign Relations Committee members Senators Richard Lugar and Democrats Barbara Boxer, Christopher Dodd, Russell Feingold and Barack Obama.
Soros recently participated in a meeting of “70 likeminded millionaires and billionaires” to plan a return to power in the White House and Congress of the liberal-left and the Democratic Party.8
Symbol of International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea
Academic and legal supporters of LOST, such as John Norton Moore of the University of Virginia School of Law, frequently cite U.S. corporate support for the treaty but don’t try to refute the fact that members of the World Federalist Movement are strongly behind it because they had a major role in writing it.11
For example, Louis Sohn, professor Emeritus of International Law at Harvard University, was a U.S. delegate to the Law of the Sea Conference and helped write the draft of the treaty. Sohn’s material has been published in Uniting the Peoples and Nations. Readings in World Federalism. He and Grenville Clark wrote World Peace Through World Law, which called for the elimination of “all national armaments,” creation of a World Police Force, and a United Nations Revenue System.12
For her part, Borgese didn’t buy U.S. military arguments that LOST guarantees freedom of navigation on the high seas. In fact, her position was that “the doctrine of the freedom of the seas has been replaced by that of the common heritage of mankind” in the treaty.13 Stated another way, the concept of “High Seas Freedom,”14 she said, has been superseded by LOST, which regulates access to the oceans in “the area beyond national jurisdiction.”
In a January 1999 speech, Borgese declared, “The world ocean has been, and is, so to speak, our great laboratory for the making of a new world order. For a combination of reasons it was in the oceans, and only there, that we could introduce a series of new concepts, principles and norms which eventually will have to be applied to the world as a whole.” (emphasis added).15

Hey, I gave him the benefit of the doubt until I couldn't! And BS, every time I vote I sit in judgement. So do you.
President Bush will not sign any treaty that in any shape or form will infringe on US sovereignty, anyone who says otherwise is lying, period.
You give me way too much credit, GWB is the only one that has the power to do that. And not that it's any of your business, but yeah, last time I vote AGAINST Kerry, not for Bush. We're all pretty sick of the 'lesser' of 2 evils. Let me guess...Rudy supporter?
We'll see, won't we? I remember some people swearing he'd never promote amnesty either.........don't waste your time telling me it isn't amnesty.
We read about this in the 80s. At the time I thought it was just conspiracy stuff. How wrong was I?
