#1 When The Hell Is America going to wake up and send these idiotic freaks packing? Everyday just another reason to vomit with all the things they pass or try to do to this country.

#2 45 Senators guarantees no treaty, and that would generally be the end of it. Why negotiate a treaty that that the Senate has pre-nullified for you? But this administration is above such menial things and will boldly forge ahead.

#3 I don't know/can't tell whether OEDLG etc is annoyed with the Senators or with the UN
Why not both?

#4 "Why negotiate a treaty that that the Senate has pre-nullified for you?"

Kyoto comes to mind, Iblis. Perhaps AlBore or Clinton can explain why (other than that they're just idiots). I suspect it has something to do with impressing their "friends" on the far Left.

#5 More insidious than that. The way the scoundrels are writing treaties today is to do so in such a way that nations "commit before agreement", in which the leaders agree to target "goals" in their nations, before the treaty has been approved and signed.

This turns things around, by requiring majority *disapproval* of a treaty, rather than *approval* before at least parts of it are implemented.

For example, when Clinton was leaving office, he signed on to the ICC treaty, forcing Bush and the Republican controlled senate to say "Hell no!" Even before then, the Republican senate had rejected the signed Test Ban treaty.

We still have the damned Kyoto agreement over our heads, because while the senate won't confirm, it won't trash can it, at least yet.
