I'm shocked and surprised! - NOT

Castro would like to provide the same amount of support but doesn't have enough money to... thanks to the embargo!!!!

Not so! Chavez has lots of money and Fidelito has the troops to use it. My bet is that Chavez doesn't use Venezuelans to man the anti-Columbian bases but, rather, uses Cubans. If fact, there are probably Cuban special forces trying to destabilize the governments of 3 or 4 countries.

Despite all the pro-Cuba articles (another one this morning in the Dallas Morning News) in our ultra-left wing press, they have not mellowed and turned into passive enemies. The Cuban are processing Arab terrorists through Mexico in to the US and have special forces working against Columbia and any other government that is moving away from socialism. Facts? No, but our government must make these assumptions; it is the only prudent course.
