How does this effect salvage and fishing? If this is the same crap they tried to pull before it's a deepsea monster with multiple tentiticals sucking out all fun out of boating and adventure on the high seas and the money out of our tax payers.

Biggest RINO supporting this lousy treaty is Senator Richard Luger, chairman of Senate Foreign Relations Committee

[GOP_1900AD]

I suspect this to be a PRC plot. They hate the long standing conventions regarding free passage and standard territorial limits, derived initially by the West, and made into a global standard during the late 1800s. If they can shatter the long standing convention, then they can start to make their audacious claims reaching far past their real territorial waters appear to be more reasonable. This must be stopped, or, it will eventually be yet another factor leading us toward world war.

[dayton law dude]

support from the Bush Administration, U.S. Navy officials, environmentalists and oil industry executives

All these groups support the treaty? Is there a specific reason that the US Navy would like to see its ratifiaction? How about both oil executives and environmentalists? These two groups are always at odds with each other. Can somebody provide any insight on this?

I just love the acronymn LOST because that's what the UN is LOST.

has reemerged as a threat to this nation’s sovereignty, thanks in large part to Senate Foreign Relations Chair Richard Lugar (R-Ind.)

Which party controls the majority of the Senate? I forget....

Does this treaty still include provisions for the permanent funding of the UN through a right to tax use of the ocean and exploitation of sub-ocean mineral rights?

If so, it is the biggest threat to sovereignity imaginable. Once the UN has the independent ability to tax, it will be impossible to control. Right now the only check on them is the fact that they must go to member states, hat in hand, for funding. This must continue to be the case. The UN must never be self-funding.

Too bad we're not as concerned with the 1967 UN Treaty on Outer Space.

Since GWB is a "globalist"....like pappy, he'll buy into this hook, line and sinker.

Same as our borders....."Borders, we don't need no steenkin' borders"
