Worked for me.
I am still waiting for some fuller understanding.
Were these Islands under dispute?

Snake The answer
A look at the map will give the reader some notion of the frozen �Alaskan� islands under discussion. All are far closer to the Russian mainland than to the Alaskan mainland. All lie on the Russian side of the U.S.-Russia maritime boundary set by a treaty that the U.S. Senate ratified overwhelmingly more than two decades ago, after being signed by President George H.W. Bush, and with the support of both of Alaska�s senators. ![[Linked Image]](http://factcheck.org/UploadedFiles/2012/03/State_Department_Map.png)

Guantanamo is in Cuba.
West Berlin was in East Germany.
I didn't see us rushing to give these away based on geographical boundaries. Who gives a rats ass about Maritime boundaries?
You don't cede land to enemies and Putin most assuredly views us as the enemy.

That's what's confusing me.
Why did we sign a treaty that gave back boundaries in the first place?

Why is anybody surprised at this? Obama has been giving America away to our enemies one piece at a time, in one way or another, since he got into office.
Obama is an islamic extremist so weakening our country in relation to our enemies is his #1 priority. That's why he's done everything he can to destroy our economy and limit our freedoms, to make us weak and vulnerable to HIS allies in the east.
It's like death by a thousand cuts... he's bleedings to death people.
God Bless America!

Factcheck.org, funded by the Annenberg Project. A bastion of unbiased information on par with Snopes.
Why are we signing an agreement that gives away territory, period? Why did Bush do it? That's what I'm asking.

There is plenty of information in the link that you "could" verify independently if you actually cared to, as I said Google is your friend. If you prefer WND over other sources have at it, here is what they wrote in 2008. http://www.wnd.com/2008/07/70902/

If these islands are part of Alaska and Alaska is a State of the USA, how can that idiot give it away?
