However, the United States was still invited to and attended the [Arctic Ocean Conference] despite the fact that it is not a party to LOST. Such active participation in the debate over Arctic territorial claims disproves any contentions that the United States' "seat at the table" is contingent upon its ratification of LOST.
Closer. Still doesn't say what happens if the Ruskies drill off the coast of AK, or how we get to stake claims farther out in the Arctic.
There are plenty of articles at Heritage and Eagle Forum. Both are very conservative sites.
The facts are the facts, you can’t pick and choose pieces of it that are okay. It is a package deal.
The problem with the Heritage approach is that it doesn't solve the problem of dithering, redistributionist, Marxist presidents like we have now. Obama wants the rest of the world to have the resources (or the polar bears), not the big bad U.S.
Absent ratifying LOST, we need a president willing to stand up for our rightful claims and stake them clearly and unambigously....someone who understands the issues involved. :)
