MEXICO CITY — The White House announced on Tuesday that President Obama intends to remove Cuba from the American government’s list of nations that sponsor terrorism, eliminating a major obstacle to the restoration of diplomatic relations after decades of hostilities.

The decision to remove Cuba from the list represents a crucial step in President Obama’s effort to turn the page on a Cold War-era dispute.

It came after a much-anticipated meeting between Mr. Obama and President Raúl Castro of Cuba on the sidelines of the Summit of the Americas meeting in Panama over the weekend, the first such formal session between the leaders of the two countries in more than a half-century.

First Iran, now Cuba. Obama is spreading chaos throughout the world. This will result in Cuba getting billions of dollars in business and aid, some of which will go back to supporting FARC and other terrorist organizations.

Somebody has to take up the slack on the ever-shortening terrorism list. It’s just a bit of diplomatic “musical chairs”. Those that didn’t have chairs up to now, get to sit. Those that sit... now have to stand (and run).

They are kindred commies with Obama and they hate America, but love its money. The terrorism list has now been fully politicized and will be whatever Obama wants it to be.

How long before he wants to do the same for Iran and North Korea, and establish diplomatic relations? They both owe us big time for the barracks bombing and the Pueblo hijacking. But of course neither of those are his concern.
