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!
He is confident after the way his crack troops kicked the sh*$ out of the US in Granada. What a maroon!
We will hurl back the invaders using our up-armored '57 Chevys!!
If that happens what will Congresswomen Barbara Lee do? She loves Communist Cuba
There is no fool like an old fool.
Bwaa hahahaha.. Castro is senile.
But then again most people in Berkeley California do.
It will be a serious injustice if Castro dies of old age.
Only 6 hours? His age must finally be getting to him.
InFidelity Castrate is the most upstanding? Comrade in the John Kerry, Clinton, Ortega, Sandinista, Shining Path, Stalinist, VC, V.C., Viet Cong, FARC, F.A.R.C, Marxist, Manning Marable, Noam Chomsky, Ron Dellums, idiot Liberation 'theology'-inspired "People's Underground Democratic" party, otherwise known as....... "PUD"
Ignoring Castro must rub in the fact that he is a complete and total idiot. Thinking about it, it's not a bad idea. It reminds me of Doc Holliday 's wry comment from the movie Tombstone ...
"Oh, Johnny I apologize. I forgot you were there. You may go now."
(HA HA HA!)
Oh well, so much for the wistful and pretentious Stalinist "wanna be" ... WAAH !
Where are his Left Wing Democratic friends when he needs them most? Oh yeah, one of his most ardent supporters had a Big Problem with this one:

Ooops.
Looks like "they" will have to find another Manchurian Candidate, seeing that the first one can't officially send them any more goodies. ("It's the Term Limits thing, stupid")
hehehehe found a link:

This tin horn dictator is deluded to think this piece of real estate floating off Key West is worth our intervention.
I think the last thing we need now is to take this welfare case off his hands and adopt an island full of hungry poor people.
I'm much more concerned with the situation in the "other" communist country.
Of course, if he moves toward Gitmo or if the price of sugar goes through the roof......
Anyway, a CO caller said it was "the US policies that drove Castro to be the dictator that he is..."
Naturally, she claimed to be conservative and a Dubya supporter.
Invulnerable? I should say so!
3 days, tops. Mop up, about a month.
We have the power to remove Castro if it was all about military might.
The issue isn't military toughness. We have seen almost all communist countries starve themselves to revolution and we figure at some time that's got to happen in Cuba.
Castro is a punk on his best day.
Courage....
I'll say they're festive. What are they drinking? The people of Cuba know he's a lying jerk. He deserves a few daisy cutters on the presidential palace just to keep him honest.
-almost 6-hour speech t
I doubt that, even Castro would fall asleep. Who can blather for six hours?-
Actually, Castro can and has gone on even longer. 6 hours shows he is getting old. He could speak all day and into the night. And no one leaves, for good reason.
Castro can join the "Look At Me! Look At Me!" trio. The other two members are Kim Il Jong and Hugo Chavez.
You decrepid Commies are not worth one drop of a US soldier's blood or one fly over by a Stealth bomber.
Now shut up and starve.
I think you're referencing Key West. Don't know if we have a millitary presence there, but we should certianly try for a toe-hold on the Southeastern end of Cuba. ;-)
There used to be NAS Key West (and maybe still... don't know), Holmstead AFB a little south of Miami, Keesler and Eglin AFB on the north Gulf Coast.
I think we could bring sufficient firepower to bear on Castro's shizhole without breaking a sweat.
I know. I was joking. The "toe-hold" was also a reference to Gitmo.
