Sandbag: "And they have since stopped accepting untested beef from the US."
WHICH HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH TESTING AND EVERYTHING TO DO WITH THE FACT THAT A SMALL PACKER SENT THEM BONE IN PRODUCT AFTER WE HAD AGREED NOT TO SEND THEM BONE IN PRODUCT.
Canada is currently sending Japan untested beef. WHY IF THEY WANT TESTED BEEF AS YOU USDA BLAMERS CLAIM????
Because they don't care about testing, they want source verification. They know more about what they want than you do. Their actions prove it. You are caught in a time warp with an inability to abandon your worthless position.
Sandbag: "When did scientific justification become a requirement for exporting product?"
Since "BSE TESTED" implied "BSE FREE".
Sandbag: "Yet you ignore their actions of not taking any beef from us after their words of accepting the US's terms."
Unlike you, I don't ignore the obvious. The reason they are not taking any beef from us is because A SMALLER PACKER sent them bone in product which was against the terms the US agreed to.
Sandbag: "Other than the fact that the people who would do the actual buying of our product (Japanese consumers) have said they aren't interested in untested US beef and their distrust of the USDA - the fact that we aren't sending them so much as a piece of jerky now - the fact that they would surely embrace tested beef as they asked for it for two years - other than these facts, you are correct SH. Why would we "turn back the hands of time" to abandon a policy that has not worked? Talk about someone who cannot think for themselves......."
If the Japanese consumers are unwilling to buy untested beef, what are they doing with the Canadian beef KLUSO???? Throwing it away???
Another stupid argument buried.
Where did the Japanese consumer say they distrusted the USDA???
Putting words in their mouth to support your blaming agenda????
The fact that we aren't sending them beef now doesn't have a damn thing to do with testing which is obvious based on the fact that Canada is sending them untested beef.
The obvious fact that Canada is sending them untested beef blows a hole in your stupid testing theory as big as a Mac truck. The obvious is too obvious for a USDA blamer like you.
Sandbag: "If you are going to stump that, you also have to recognize their quotes from early 2006 don't trump their actions of reclosing their borders."
Their actions of reclosing their borders didn't have a damn thing to do with testing.
Like every other position you take, this is based on nothing more than "ALLEGATIONS" you can't prove and "THEORIES" you can't prove. Once again you are armed with nothing more than a need to blame and an ability to suck your thumb.
From the banker who can't spell principle. LOL!
