Clinton is the worst Sec of State we’ve ever had, at least in my lifetime.

Those words were basically forced out of her by “L R-L”. I don’t believe a single thing Clinton says!

Does her word carry ANY weight on the world stage?

Can Obama and Clinton supporters honestly say they have improved our standing in the world from the ‘cowboy’ Bush? It seems their only successes are achieved by continuing his policies, which they ran against.

So would Congresswoman Ros-Lehtinen have us launch air strikes and then an invasion through Gitmo?

I guess not, she's speaking about turning up the heat and adding more pressure on Castro dictatorship. Though, she did say on Hispanic Univision (on Thursday) that its a start, now we have to see (Clinton's Obama's admin.) action.

In what way? We already have a diplomatic and economic embargo against Cuba. Does she honestly think that we could ever get any other country to join in? Ridiculous. Not even a Ronald Reagan could have done that, much less a Barack Obama. And should Cain or Perry win in 2012 the chances of them succeeding at that is precisely zip. We've turned the screws as hard as we're going to be able to, regardless of what the good congresswoman would like.

When Chavez crokes there will be a revolt within Venezuela and funds that now go to prop up the Castros and their thugs will dry up. Cuba will within 6 months of Chaves’s death.
