On or Off Cuba Ping.

HAVANA, March 9 (Itar-Tass) - Cuba is invulnerable from the military point of view and is able to withstand a U.S. aggression, Cuban Leader Fidel Castro stated here on Tuesday, addressing a festive meeting, devoted to the International Women’s Day. “Cuba cannot be intimidated” by the new threats, which some officials of the U.S. administration had recently voiced. He assured the meeting in the course of his almost 6-hour speech that the aggressor would sustain tremendous losses if he dared attack Cuba. They will be comparable only to the losses the United States had sustained during “its aggression against Vietnam”, Castro stressed.
He spoke very highly about the combat readiness of the Cuban army, noting that the country’s military command had achieved notable successes in its preparations to rebuff a possible foreign attack. An aggressor “will never be able to occupy the country’s capital,” he stressed.
All I can say is please, please don't light a match around this gas bag. Please.
On or Off Cuba Ping.
Please add me.
He knows the U.S. will never invade Cuba. He also knows that if it did his army would run like hell and the populace would cheer the American troops ecstatically.
BTW, Castro lost a dear friend today...
Poor Castro. No one is paying attention to him. He would like nothing better than to have Bush threaten Cuba--it would make Cuba and Castro seem important, like the Middle East!--but Bush wouldn't dirty his fingers.
A 6 hour speech? OMG, I really feel pity for the poor fools that have to sit through that. I'd rather sit through 6 hours of Robert Tilton.
A common mistake, with ample precedent for its remedy.
(Baghdad Bob f'rinstance.)
Actually cuba is an island and all we would have to do is surround it and cut it off from the rest of the world, then proceed to bombard the hell out of it with cruise missles and air assults.
At the first hint of an American invasion, the mighty Cuban army would quickly mobilize their fleet of 1953 Chevy's, 54 DeSoto's, and late model Packards and Studebakers and head for the beaches to fend off Los Americanos.
The Cuban Airforce's fleet of Cessna 172's would fly circles around our stealth fighters and bombers leaving us helpless.
Should I go on about how their donkey carts and high speed row boats would bring us to our knees?
72 hours after "the Beard" is in hell, Cuba will be hanging his corrupt cronies from the lampposts and BEGGING the US to come in.
I doubt that, even Castro would fall asleep. Who can blather for six hours?
I think we should invade...just because he said that.
LOLOL
ROFLMAO!!!!
Come on you communist nutcase!
If we can topple Afghanistan in 6 months and Iraq in 2 months from half way around the world, what makes you think we can't totally distroy your tiny little communist utopia 80 miles away in about three days?
Add me!
