WASHINGTON (AP) -- In a timely gesture to a key Middle East friend, the Senate on Monday approved an agreement that effectively removes all trade barriers with Jordan.

The measure, already passed by the House, implements an agreement reached between the Clinton administration and Jordan last fall. The Bush administration strongly supports it.

Trade with Jordan is not the issue here. Tariffs are the issue. How are high tariffs supposed to protect American citizens from smuggling and illegal immigration?

Google search, "AK-47, Jordan in Spanish "Jordania", and FARC, Colombian Marxist terrorists" I didn't use the search term "parachutes" which somehow made it onto the plane from Amman to Peru and allowed the 10,000 AK-47's to land into the hands of Colombian terrorists, Jordanian military officials can't explain the presence of the parachutes on the plane when questioned by Colombian journalists all the while maintaining they are innocent and the arms shipment was legal and not intended for terrorists.

Colombian Marxist guerrilla group, FARC, press releases regarding peace process meetings with Queen Noor of Jordan and Jim Kimsey, President of America Online

July 2001, Queen Noor arriving in Colombia, article is titled, "The Queen Who Believes in Colombia

July 7, 2001, Queen Noor meeting with Colombian guerilla (FARC) leader.

Queen Noor said recently on a visit to Colombia "We are working so that hospitals through the world will be well equipped to rehabilitate wounded soldiers." Why, does she know something we don't??!!

Meeting with the Colombian lead terrorist July 9, 2001

Queen Noor putting a black cap on FARC leader Marulanda's head, the cap says No More Land Mines

Jordan is a very friendly Arab government even though the king must deal with the realities of ruling an Arabic nation with a very large number of palestinians.

King Abdullah is quite a character. Educated in the West, he has a quirky habit where he likes to dress down and sneak away from the palace, and his guard, to see what life is like as one of his citizens.

"Are you another Go Pat Go(er)?"

Well, while we're all still waiting for you to come up with an example of paid (union)"... 2hr lunches and 5 coffee breaks a day",

... perhaps I will remind you that it was none other than that pesky 'ol (so-called) Xenophobe-Protectionist-Nationalistic- "Nazi-Jew hater" blah-blah-blah, Pat Buchanan, who so boldly and couragiously warned America of the eminent danger in ignoring the ongoing invasion of our borders by Illegal Aliens.

But the greedy 'Predatory' Capitalists within the Republican Party drool for a fresh supply of cheap compliant labor in the U.S., and the BIG-Goobermit Democraps of course, just love to sign all those p-o-o-r Illegals up for their ever-expanding Socialist/Welfare giveaway programs.

All the Free Traders could come up with in terms of a response to Buchanan was a barrage of name-calling and sarcasm.

On 9/11/01 America had to learn the hard way, that Pat Buchanan was 100% RIGHT regarding our 'porous border' problem.

Now I suppose America will have to suffer severe economic devastation in the future before she finally get's this phoney Glo-Baloney Free Trade scam, and the perps behind it fully exposed.

What it boils down to basically is, profits over ANYTHING ... to include a sovereign U.S.A., our Constitution & Bill of Rights, and equal protection under our rule of law.

That would be true if we weren't carrying such huge trade deficits! Every treaty we enter into produces HUGE trade deficits-how does that help us? Answer is it doesn't. It helps a few get rich period. It kills more jobs in America thereby adding even more of us to the poor class so everyone can look down on us. And that's traitorous if you ask me. But the more important issue is that subjugating our sovereignty in any degree is unacceptable. PERIOD. And it is made even more so because the only one it benefits is Big Profits as usual. Rule by corporation once again.
