Vicki Huddleston Q&A: Veteran leader speaks about dissidents, Castro and the U.S. role
Don't be misled, President Bush is not soft on Cuba--"The American President's outburst sets right some misconceptions in Havana, at the U.S. State Department and on Capitol Hill. The word has been spread that under Secretary of State Colin Powell's tutelage, Bush was going to seek normalization with Castro's dictatorial regime. While the trade embargo may be modified, it will continue and will no longer be the only instrument deployed by Washington to democratize Cuba. What's more, Powell is fully on board with an expanded anti-Castro strategy."
I can provide a quote for you if you'd like of Bush himself talking about expanded and faster loans to businesses.
