Should U.N. Broker Return of Alaska to Russia?
By Cliff Kincaid | June 29, 2007
At a recent Heritage Foundation symposium on the Law of the Sea Treaty....Frank Gaffney of the Center for Security Policy calmly and methodologically delineated the problems with the treaty, and how U.S. national security could be adversely affected...
Gaffney had complained about the treaty, formally known as the U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), creating a global tax mechanism. Under UNCLOS, now before the Senate, U.S. corporations would be required to pay taxes to an International Seabed Authority for the right to exploit ocean resources, including developing sources of energy for the American people.
In a release,(House Republican Whip) Blunt declared, "More than 25 years ago, President Reagan refused to commit this country to a treaty that would've weakened our sovereignty at home, and rendered American companies less competitive abroad…We need all the energy we can get, whenever and wherever we can get it. Submitting ourselves to an unelected, unaccountable international ocean bureaucracy when it comes to distributing what American companies rightfully mine doesn't strike me as a good thing to do 25 years ago, today, tomorrow, or in the future."
Yet the Bush Administration is vigorously pushing the Senate to ratify the treaty creating this global socialist entity.
Not surprisingly, the major media are backing ratification. The bias is evident in stories in the New York Times,... "the United States is on the sidelines for the moment, as conservatives in Congress delay ratification of the U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea, which governs all claims."
UNCLOS "governs all claims?" Since when did a U.N. bureaucracy acquire such power? And why should the U.S. acquiesce in this power grab?

“Sorry, but the Iraq invasion may be the biggest blot on Bush’s record, in the history books.”you said.
If we are allowed to finish the job and flush the toilet, the Iraq invasion will be a victory. But given the tone of the Rats and the MSM cronies, they don’t even want that to succeed.
I have a son there. A stepson soon going for the 2nd time. And a nephew there for the 2nd time. There is so much more good to be accomplished. But politics have restrained the rules of engagement. Those soldiers are as pissed off at congress and dingy Harry than they are at the AlQueda.
Without support from one, defeat is guaranteed by the other.
Mookie should have been taken out immediately instead of holing up in his mosque after murdering some other pro US clerics. Rules of engagement let him slip out and he is basking in glory in Iran. Mistakes that monumental cannot be made in war. Congressional micromanaging is responsible for most of the mistakes. So don’t get me started about the WOT except that we are guaranteed defeat when congress determines we are now defeated, just to make Bush look bad.
If he loses this, the rats have scored the trifecta and I hope they choke on their cake.
Maybe that is why Cheney is having such a rough time. They know he would be the next President and maybe he doesn’t agree with Bush on everything.
I am well aware of the LOST. It was brought up just last year and defeated due to the uproar by millions of good people who are sick of this crap.
Well put. TV is the greatest "opiate of the masses" ever conceived, better by far than the Roman Circus or religion. Add in the rest of "popular culture" and the 1960s' deconstruction of American traditions and values and it's sayonara for the Remnant. It's been all downhill since Johnson stole and enacted Kennedy's agenda.
