American Internet Retreat

[dellinger63]

WTF... What benefit does the average American reap from this decision?

You know other than having American security over an American made product, that rivals if not surpasses the invention of speech.

Has to be a joke.

Goes along with the Obama Administration neutering policy.

The internet was invented by DARPA (sorry Al Gore), and is thus taxpayer funded. Since the taxpayer gets no respect whatsoever, why not give it away.

Taking a page from Jimmy Carter, another great Democrat , who gave away the Panama Canal.

I wonder where the NASA stuff will go when they have their fire sale.

The right wants and needs government involvement when it comes to national security and with talks of Russia and or China moving in I'd say national security should trump any 'good will' we will receive.

But again par for the course with this guy.
