One of Reagan's few mistakes was not invading Cuba the day after we went into Grenada back in 1983.

I have predicted several times that Bush would oversee the birth of post-Castro Cuba.

Well, we're on our second term now, but there is still Jeb Bush, maybe. So I'm sticking with my prediction. We'll dance on his grave, and then forget where he was buried.

JFK had an agreement with the Soviet Union not to ever invade Cuba. Missile crisis agreement terms, I believe.

But Castro, who apparently enjoys good health and turns 80 on Aug. 13, has been fortifying the ruling Communist Party to ensure the status quo long after his death. He plans to hand over power to his 75-year-old brother Raul, the first vice president of Cuba's Council of State.

75? Uhhhh..Throw that by me once again...

The Real Cuba, after 47 years of communism:

Look at the photos. Havana, once one of the most beautiful cities, is crumbling. So is the entire intrastructure. The people are slaves to the government. Surely they are all secretly praying for the death of their dictator.

Geeezzz...I thought Castro was dead...he also has/had advanced PARKINSON...wonder which it is...dead or alive...knowing how communist are, if he's dead we'll not know it for a while...not much truth comes out of these regimes. Raul is 75 way to old...he'll be dead soon too.

Smith was appointed by and is still a close friend of Carter's, and thus nothing he has to say is worth hearing.

" "Anyone who knows Cuba knows the Cuban people aren't going to rise up against a successor regime."

Good point...however they are all in jail
