The Obama administration apparently plans to allow international control of the commercial version of the Global Positioning System. If true, this is a dangerous release of technology, originally developed by the US Air Force. This policy, if implemented, could result in the theft of technology by unscrupulous persons or countries at the least, and sabotage at the worst. Why in the world does the US always want to give away technology? Lately the Internet has come under international control, and now the GPS system.
This is another example of liberal politics that likes to lick the boots of other nations in order to gain some imagined good will. We are digging ourselves a giant hole if we continue to give away our technology to foreign countries, some of whom are not really our friends and someday may use our own technology in a cold or even hot war against us! Examples; both Venezuela and Iran have US built fighter aircraft and they are still flying these planes. Imagine what these countries have learned from the reverse engineering of our weapons over the years.
Lets hope that some sanity prevails. Write or call your congressman.
