How the hell did they find these at the bottom of the ocean 1150 miles from shore?
...
They started looking around volcanic vents.

It looks like they found these deposits a few years ago. This new information is a scientific study of how much is there.

Find is in ocean floor mud, 5500 feet down, 160 miles south of what we used to call Marcus island, about halfway between Wake and Tokyo. Clinton gave Marcus back to Japan Sep. 1993, probably thinking the 300 acre island wasnt worth much. If this can be extracted from a mile down in mid ocean it should make the geologists very curious about where else similar deposits can be found. Also, once they figure out how to mine it look for Chicom financed greenies to oppose it!

Probably found it while they were chasing after that big ugly a$$ over grown lizard with the bad breath who stomps Tokyo into dust every once and a while.

A cynic would say this attack on Syria was just to demo more weapons for sale ( especially since the attack apparently didnt even include destroying hezballah )

Rare earths aren’t rare, the cost is in extracting and purifying them.

Maybe the 300 acre island wasn’t worth much, but the 200 mile economic zone around it was worth plenty.
I wonder how much the Clintons got paid.

Soon to be claimed by China.

Clinton finalized the turn-over in 1993, but the island was first turned over by the Lyndon Johnson administration in June of 1968. Not only that, but the United States had historical claims to the island that pre-dated the Japanese claims!
Johnson has to have been one of the worst American presidents, ever.

The last four Democrat Presidents have been LBJ, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and Barak Obama
It really is hard to determine just which one was the most destructive to America because they all did such a through job of trying to destroy our country.

My wife grew up there. Went by there 20 years ago the only thing left were empty streets with bare foundations and a school building.
