What the forum should really ponder is:

Where would Ja be without the treaty with the US? It seems that the island was dragged from the edge of the cliff of doom. Without the treaty Ja would descend into a state of warlords/Dons with the current Govt. acting as a proxy. A voice said bruce should resign, his car was firebombed, imagine if there ws no treaty and these guys could do as they please? This is just the tip of the iceberg. Broaden the treaty to include US military exercises and operations; the poor would be happy here.

It seems as if there a few in Ja that thinks nothing of threatening the US national security. Some US corps open some call centers here; they steal the credit card numbers (oh yeah you wouldn't know that Paulwell negotiated these things with US Cos). THE FBI should come and take a closer look at the scamming because there seems to be more to it than the eye is revealing. Have no fear poor people of Ja you have nothing to lose. You will be able to walk fromchurch late at nights again.

Oh and a gradual phase out of the JDF should begin. FISH TANK treaty will cover JA's national security with the US military. Taxpayers' money can be used on education and provide support for the foreign troops Ben be careful what you wish for.

Yes sah bring it on:
US said committed to working with Caribbean on security issues
CMC
Thursday, May 20, 2010
BRIDGETOWN, Barbados (CMC) -- The United States says it is committed to working with Caribbean countries to combat threats that endanger their security and that the launch of the Caribbean Basin Security Initiative on May 27 should be viewed in this regard.
US Department of State Assistant Secretary for the Western Hemisphere, Arturo Valenzuela, said that President Barack Obama had during the 2009 Summit of the Americas in Trinidad and Tobago voiced the US commitment to partnership in this hemisphere.
"On May 27, 2010, the United States and the nations of the Caribbean will live up to that responsibility by launching the Caribbean Basin Security Initiative (CBSI), an important step forward for the prosperity, security, and liberty of the region. CBSI will support a joint US-Caribbean partnership that addresses the various security and safety concerns of our respective governments and citizens," Valenzuela said in a statement.
He said that the definition of security under this new view goes beyond assistance for security forces and anti-trafficking efforts.
"CBSI is a broad initiative that also puts an emphasis on citizen safety partnerships that recognise the need to invest in crime prevention approaches, including education and workforce development as alternatives to criminal enterprise. This comprehensive view also acknowledges the need to further strengthen justice sector institutions to successfully investigate and prosecute all forms of criminal activity."
The US State Department official said that Washington and the Caribbean were entering a new phase in their relationship that should not be viewed as a panacea against crime and violence, "but the beginning of a collaborative approach, one that identifies and provides appropriate and sufficient resources to institutions and communities in a common effort to support their efforts.
"Over the past year, representatives from our governments have met four times to define our strategic priorities. We have similarly identified a framework for security cooperation and a broad plan of action. These are not mere political declarations but rather guiding documents that should set a clear path toward improving citizen safety over the coming years," he added.


Okay poor people you are not praying for naught. Ja should be the leader for this initiative. People of Ja if it's even the NDM that talks about this one, vote! This is what you want to hear next election; if not "dog nyam yuh suppah" Well this even look better than my proposed "fish tank treaty"

Education is included. Now this is better than those con artists from the East. who comes around here telling us to teach them English when more people in their land speak perfect English than all of Ja.
