Lugar is an old fool and Stevens isn't much better. Reagan opposed this the first time around for good reason. The Law of the Sea represents a threat to our national security and our sovereignty. It also requires that Americans be taxed in order for American companies to economicaly exploit the world’s seabeds (such as drill for oil), the proceeds going to Third World dictators by way of the U.N. It establishes an international organization with the authority to levy international taxes.

Bush Urges Senate to Act on Law of Sea Treaty

I just can't figure out why this man is so desperate to sell out his country before his term is up.

Simply mind boggling.

Law of the Sea Treaty is horrible. Hopefully, the prez aides will see this and advise him accordingly.

Give up your sovereignty and people will like you.

President Bush, you silly man...

The Senate is too busy trying to surrender to Islam to worry about treaties. We "lost", remember?

Oh, you say we didn't? Then how come the GOP and the RNC are on vacation these days?

Bush said in his statement that participation in the treaty would secure U.S. sovereign rights over extensive marine areas, including valuable natural resources..

Shut up, Bush, and BUILD THAT WALL if you’re so interested in our sovereignty! And knock off all your NAU projects that Iraq distracts attention from....

Lugar said the United States had been “a free rider” on the treaty for too long

The rest of the world and the treaty has been a 'free rider' on the USA for that long.

If the President is truly interested in protecting our sovereignty, he’d best start with our non-existent border security, as opposed to promoting yet another phony UN Globalist money-grabbing scheme - especially one that Ronald Reagan saw through years ago. Will the last sane person in Washington please turn out the lights?

The Bush administration supported the treaty, but the accord never reached the Senate floor due to opposition from conservatives concerned it would surrender U.S. sovereignty.

But now, Bush has a Congress he can work with, so he is again pushing to surrender U.S. sovereignty.

[And we though Clinton was a bad president.]

It looks like Bush is aiming for a twofer. Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST) and Immigration Reform.

He is going to go down in history as one of the worst presidents in American history if these bills go through.

It’s very sad. He has good basic instincts, but it seems as if someone has bought and paid for all this NWO stuff.

Maybe he can give San Francisco to China as a free port for their goods under full Chinese control. That would make it a threefer.

LOST certainly does do this.

The authority that taxes is the authority that governs.

I rec’d YESTERDAY! a plea from the GOP for money. They were kind enough to pay return postage. This issue is one of top items to be my letter back, along with a “zero peso” bit of non-currency.

Bush is a traitor. He should be tried and sentenced accordingly!

This legislation is a danger to our sovereignty, and to Americans in general. We will be subjects to the UN! Since the UN is made up of many Muslim countries, we will be giving them control over us! Of course, Bush is a Muslim @ss kisser, so he thinks that's just fine!!! It's time for him to go!!

Indeed he did. And Jeane Kirkpatrick testified in '04 that LOST threatened America's sovereignty not only on the high seas but in the air and outer space as well. She also testified that Reagan's rejection of LOST was based in part on its potential to encourage the proliferation of OPEC. .....which partly explains Saudi ass-kissers Bush/Cheney's support for it. The transnationalists currently infesting the WH see an opportunity to get this through now that the Dems control congress. ......just as they now see an opportunity to get an amnesty bill passed.

An often overlooked problem with the appropriately named LOST Treaty is that it would prohibit us from interdicting/boarding ocean vessels suspected carrying WMDs. .....which is of course why our enemies (read: China) are enthusiastically trying to get us on board.
