Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has accepted an invitation to visit Cuba from President Fidel Castro, in gratitude for Cuba's support of Iran's nuclear program, the official Granma newspaper said on Tuesday.
Ahmadinejad accepted the invitation in Tehran from Cuban Ambassador Felipe Perez Roque. During his visit, the Iranian leader will attend the September 11-16 Non-Aligned Summit in Havana, the daily said.
On Saturday in Vienna, Cuba, Venezuela and Syria voted against a resolution of the International Atomic Energy Agency to refer Iran to the UN Security Council over a nuclear program the West suspects is weapons-oriented.
The Iranian President recently publicly thanked Cuba for its "dignified and principled" position during the IAEA's special meeting, which ended in a 27-3 vote in favour of reporting Iran to the UN council.
Separately, Granma announced that Iranian Parliament President Ghulam Ali Haddad Adel has accepted an invitation to visit Cuba from Cuba's National Assembly.
I think it was calclated at the height of the Cuban missle crisis that the number of aircraft on alert and their combined firepower in the southern U.S. could have razed the island ten times over.
Calculated, sorry...
The phrase "target rich environment" springs to mind. Now, if we can just get Hugo Chavez to attend...
No, wait a minute . . . they're not. They'll just sell Israel out (if they haven't already).
Just let Cuba become an official islamic Holocaust-denying state and Willis Carto and Pat Buchanan can move there!
Snipers wanted!
Like waving a red cape in a bull's face, perhaps? ;-)
Makes sense: If muz-scum hates inFidels, they would like Fidels.
The closer to Gitmo the better.
Time for a few of those "high altitude bottle rockets."
