Cuba will become from one end to the other an enormous wasp's nest that no aggressor, however powerful, will be able to overcome," Defense Minister Raul Castro said Monday.

Cuba pressed on with its biggest military exercises in almost 20 years, with 400,000 reservists joining regular forces and millions of civilians in wargames which the authorities say are to deter a US invasion.
About 100,000 Cuban regular troops are also taking part in the "Bastion 2004" exercises which started Monday, officials said.
"The enemy will never catch us by surprise," the official communist party daily, Granma, trumpeted Tuesday in its coverage of the wargames which proceeded as ailing President Castro welcomed Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, his only close ally in the Americas, whose government helps keep Cuba's energy-starved economy afloat with cut-rate oil.
"The only way to stop aggression is to make it abundantly clear that, in this case, Cuba will become from one end to the other an enormous wasp's nest that no aggressor, however powerful, will be able to overcome," Defense Minister Raul Castro said Monday.
"In the end, (the aggressor) will have to withdraw, bloodied and defeated, because this would be a war of all of the people," Castro, a younger brother of President Fidel Castro, warned.
I wonder if Cuba can even feed its entire army on maneuvers...

This is like me swearing that there's no way I'm letting Anna Kournikova get into my pants.
In other words, giving free military training to nonmembers of the party?
That doesn't sound like the wisest decision for a dictator to make.

Why the hell would you do a thing like that?
Okay, so it will take 3 sticks of SEALS rather than the 2 I previously thought.
forget the invasion, Cuba will crumble from within. Just a matter of time.
If the US ever decided to invade Cuba, it would be over before it began... The real question is, why the hell would we even want to invade Cuba?

I was lying, but if it ever comes to pass, that’s really a question you should ask Anna!
