"the Arctic, a region whose potential for oil, gas, and mineral exploitation is for the first time being unlocked by a historic ice melt driven by climate change."

BS.

..... unlocked by a historic ice melt driven by climate change.

Lazy author! Didn't get the memo that the Artic ice is now at 1970 levels.

“A huge loss of American Sovereignty.”

You must have BDS, there is no way Bush would sell out our country’s sovereignty, just no way.

Why next you’ll be claiming he will nationalize the auto industry, the mortgage and bank industies, insurance companies, Wall Street, home owners in arrears.

Just no way I am not buying it.

end sarcasm

...a region whose potential for oil, gas, and mineral exploitation is for the first time being unlocked by a historic ice melt driven by pixies, unicorns, and magic beans climate change.

...a region whose potential for oil, gas, and mineral exploitation is for the first time being unlocked by a historic ice melt driven by Bill Clinton's celibacy.

Also just as factual.

Don’t forget that he would open the borders and jail law enforcers for trying to keep illegals out.

GWB is also very much in favor of Iraqi border integrity, and occasionally America’s too.

And of course the U.N. is a great place to enforce America’s Arctic interests.

President Bush confuses me on the Law of the Sea Treaty. He is pro American sovereignty in many ways and yet not so here. I would like to hear his rationale for backing the resurrection of this treaty that Reagan said “NO!” to.
