Morning Must Read

Frank Gaffney reports that the GOP Senate leadership is solidly against the Law of the Sea Treaty or LOST, and has the votes to prevent passage. This idiotic treaty would give control of 80% of the earth to that impeccable group in Turtle Bay, the UN, and give the UN the ability to tax and redistribute the vast resources contained there. It does have a couple good provisions if we lived in a perfect world but we don't so the bad parts far outweigh the good. We need to beat the UN coddling Dems on this one once and for all.

In over 30 years of working in and watching the ways of Washington, I must say, I have never seen anything quite like it.

According to Senator Jon Kyl, the entire Senate Republican leadership is now opposed to a controversial treaty supported by the President and an implausible alliance of special interests – from the U.S. Navy to Greenpeace. At a joint press conference last Wednesday, he was one of several Senators to declare that, as a result, supporters would be unable to muster the necessary 67 votes for ratification of the Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST). Yet, it seems not one of the “establishment” media organs felt moved to report these momentous political developments.
