After certifying the Navy will officially leave the Vieques range in May, Adm. Robert Natter, chief of the Atlantic Fleet, recommended Roosevelt Roads be shut down entirely.

In other words, since the Riqueños objected to military tests, we're just gonna pack up and leave. What's that you say, PR? Losing jobs? No sailors to buy your goods? Too bad. You can enjoy your moral so-called superiority in the unemployment line.

Maybe they should call Rev's. Al and Jessie, Martin and Robert Jr. for support after the Navy says bye-bye.

The street corners are going to be crowded with 4,000 more street vendors selling bottles of water, donuts and avocados.

Somebody should have told them to be careful what they wish for. The U.S. Taxpayers just might give it to them.

Same thing happened in the Philippines. They closed our bases and now they regret it. Billions of dollars and jobs went pfffftttt! All due to leftist and commie agitation.

Cut off nose to spite face. LOL!
