FOXWIRE - American citizens will soon be able to hop on a direct flight to Havana if Congress passes a bill proposed today.

"This is a failed policy that has failed for 50 years and it long past the time to change the policy," said Sen. Byron Dorgan (D-ND), part of a bipartisan group of 20 senators calling for the removal of the 47-year old ban on travel to Cuba. "Punishing the American people in our effort to somehow deal a blow to the Castro government has not made any sense at all."

Well, Obama’s free to go there if he likes...then repeal the bill so he can’t come back

[Niuhuru]

It’s only failed because we have had a dozen lily livered Presidents who don’t want to send in a professionally trained commando force to exterminate the Castros.

I agree. Let's JDAM Castro and throw a huge party in Havana.

The statist fascists are going hog wild, they want to do as much as they possibly can before the public starts cathcing on to their flim flam. All they need is to create a new crisis every now and then.

We are NOT punishing the American people, moron. We are punishing CASTRO.

Cool,

These guys are ready to go:

The sooner we start the cleanup the sooner we can get this over with.

They might as well lift it. Cuba is pretty. It looks like America is on the way to becoming a Communist country, maybe property will be cheaper there.

Failed b@llsh@t!!! Take a ride on their newest 1959 Ford and mingle with the people wearing our clothing drive donations from Thanksgiving circa 1960 and ask THEM if it failed.

[knarf]

Didn’t I just read here the other day that zero was going to keep all the embargo laws in place?

[Category Four]

There should be no lifting of our embargo on the Castros till they lift their moratorium on freedom. And I’m patient, being only 34.

American citizens will soon be able to hop on a direct flight to Havana if Congress passes a bill proposed today.

And American pedophiles will be very happy.

Well if it works going there, just think of the traffic coming the other way again. But when you go there it will be like the old Soviet Russia, with cameras and microphones in the hotel bedrooms. How different can it be than Puerto Rico. I guess its a great nostalgic trip back to the 50’s for some, just to see the collection of old cars.
