"Bush should extend out sovereignty out to 300 miles." LOL! Not gonna work. Though it would be fun to just say Cuba belongs to US!
Under International Treaty, China can drill that close to the US because as long as they are closer to Cuba than the US, Cuban "law" applies.

There seems to be a question as to the validity of the claims about oil leases off Cuba, however
Jimmy Carter signed an agreement back in 1977 allowing Cuba access to half of the 90 miles distance to Key West. - 45 miles from the United States of America sovereign soil!

But it seems that Pelosi and Reid have the notion that our sovreignty includes the entire Pacific Ocean. We’re going to have foreign oil rigs closer in than our own rigs.
What rubbish is this that comes out of Washington?!!
