Let the paranoia begin.

[dfwgator]

Note to Cuba: The US has much bigger fish to fry than worrying about your little island.

[Cringing Negativism Network]

Frankly the Cuban people are likely to be a lot more appreciative of liberation, than a certain mideast country...

[bigjoesaddle]

Yea...ummm, if we really wanted it we would have taken it a long time ago. And how does Cube prepare to fight off the strongest millitary in the world; build sandbag tranches,and make plenty of PB&J sandwitches.

[gate2wire]

Hahahaha...The mouse that roared?

[Logical me]

What a bunch of morons. Enough said.

[calex59]

Let's see now, we have N. Korea, Iran, and now Cuba saying we are going to attack them any minute, oh, yes, mustn't forget the crazy loon in Venezuela.

We are going to be busy for the next couple years!

[Allegra]

A bit presumptuous, aren't they? LOL!

[lormand]

This is to intimidate the pro-democracy movement within Cuba, pure and simple.

[dr_who_2]

More like "fearing riots and a total breakdown of order, the regime decides to change the subject."

[Red6]

Castro must be dying!

Quick quick look away!!!!! America is attacking us!

[RushingWater]

The White House has insisted no such threat exists, with press secretary Tony Snow dismissing the suggestion that the United States would attack the island as "absurd."

Well that's a cue to China to have some free reign! I can't believe we would categorically rule out freeing the people of Cuba if the opportunity arises in a power vacuum - yes, they would be more appreciative than a certain Middle East country!

[alecqss]

It most likely means that Castro is dead or terminal and the fight for the power within Cuban commie elite is getting nasty.

[Eagles Talon IV]

Cuba does not have to worry at this time. The canoe designated to be used against her, should the need arise, is in the repair shop being refit for new paddles.

[Donald Rumsfeld Fan]

Cubans interviewed on state-run media also said Friday they would fight to the death against any invaders from the north, while the Communist Party daily Granma said, "We Cubans are prepared for the defense" of the island.

[Hot Tabasco]

it fears a U.S. attack during Fidel Castro's health crisis.

If theres any attack its going to be led by legions of Rush Limbaugh cigar afficionados targeting the tobacco fields........Thats all Cuba has thats of any worth.

[uglybiker]

...Defense Minister Raul Castro, has mobilized citizen defense militias and asked military reservists to check in daily.

To make sure they are not in possession of any improvised floatation devices.

[bilhosty]

Sounds to me like Castro is about to leave this life. A fact that might cuase an uprising among the natives. So therefore the commie's mobilize the troops so they don't get taken by surprise.

[Dr Snide]

I suspect the Cuban dictator (whoever that is at this time) needs an excuse to call up the military in preparation for the civil disturbance sure to arise upon the announcement of Castro's death. Finger crossed that that will be soon. I quit smoking five years ago but am willing to break down once for a cigar from a free Cuba.

[shield]

Still a couple of stupid and ignorant commie's.
