Really? The well is in on the high seas. What makes the oil belong to
the U.S.?
ISTR a 200-mile 'resources' thing being in a treaty or UN declaration or
something, a couple of decades back. As opposed to the traditional 3 or
12 mile limit for border control. Big Oil wouldn't have paid the front
money of all the details were not worked out about all that. Where 2
countries are closer than the standard, they sit across a table
somewhere and work out an agreement. I think there is even a line
between US and Cuba, that both countries honor.
