On a local note. My hometown, Mobile, calls itself a 'sister' city with Havana. There was suppose to be some kind of trade meeting here but was suddenly cancelled (to everone's suprize) when the state department stepped in and cancelled the visas of all the Cubans who were to attend, they had made numerous previous trips. Hmmmm? Them SOB's better not blow up Mobile, lol.
This is also my hometown, and my Pop alerted me to the strangeness of the cancellation. If you look at it, the port of Mobile would be the sleepy kind of place a creepy terrorist might want to bring something in (poor economy - the port is not very well secured - very stupid politicians - and Mardi Gras coming up.
I hadn't really thought too much about it before this Cuba meeting was cancelled, but this definitely turned on the radar for me. My entire extended family lives in and around Mobile, so this concerns me some.
On another note, I believe it's time for the Prez to pull another ace from his sleeve. It seems every time he's (supposedly) down something amazing happens. I don't think the truth of this whole situation is anything we might think. A surprise may be coming. Weirdness is assured.
