Hooray for Castro's Revolution..............

Cuban citizens celebrate in Havana April 16, 2003 on the 42nd anniversary of a rally where Fidel Castro declared that Cuba would be socialist. Communist-run Cuba has imposed lengthy prison terms on 75 dissidents accused of collaborating with arch-enemy the United States, triggering a storm of international protest. Last Friday it executed three men who hijacked a ferry in a bid to reach Florida. REUTERS/Rafael Perez

Fidel Castro - Cuba

I seem to remember Baghdad Bob referring to Bush as stupid about a week before he shuttled out of town with the United States military breathing down his neck...

just a thought...

Secretary of State Colin Powell called Cuba's human rights record "horrible." Cuba described America's backers around the world as "vile lackeys." Hardly the stuff of classic diplomacy but no cause for particular surprise: it's been going on for a long time. Indeed, these corrosive exchanges occurred, by coincidence, last week on the 42nd anniversary of the Bay of Pigs invasion.

Biased reporting as usual from the Miami Whoreald.

Cuba's "vile lackeys" is corrosive. Powell was merely staing an observation shared by essentially the entire world at this point, with equivalent comments from every government on record regarding the recent Castro-ordered executions and kangaroo courts.

Except from Oliver Stone and the usual US liberals.

Brian Alexander of the anti-embargo Cuba Policy Foundation said some House members who had entertained dissidents not long ago at a restaurant in Cuba's capital, Havana, were appalled to learn the waiters were state security agents who testified against the activists at their trials.

Idiots

I'm sorry, I don't read this stuff any more. It's like our foreign policy toward Cuba is "wait for the old man to die." Too bad though, I think Bush would have surprised that syphlitic poseur.

Time to take care of that cancer we've allowed to fester for over 40 years just a few miles off our coastline!

Logistics for this operation would be much better than the Operation Iraqi Freedom!

Castro is up for an Oscar for his documentary: Bowling for Havana.
