CUBA DEMANDS RETURN OF GUANTANAMO, END OF US TV BROADCASTS IN RETURN FOR DIPLOMACY
Breitbart.com ^ | July 1, 2015 | Frances Martel

Posted on 07/02/2015 1:50:22 PM PDT by Will88

While President Obama described the embassy as “not merely symbolic” and a move representing the liberation of the American people from “the past” in a speech this morning, the Cuban government issued a statement refusing to reestablish full diplomatic relations with the United States until America gifted the territory of Guantánamo Bay to Cuba and ceased broadcasting radio and television news reports into the island, which constitute the only way many Cubans have of receiving trustworthy international news.

Have Obama and his boys brought this up as an issue as part of normalization???

LOL...Gee, we have have a half dozen US citizen rotting in Iranian prisons, while we capitulate to them on EVERYTHING...and Obama cares nothing for them

Do you think Obama cares about expropriated American property Cuba has "owned" for almost 60 years...

Asking about them would be rather useless...

The chickens? Wouldn’t surprise me if it was true. Back when this was happening, things were quite exciting. People didn;t realize he was a commie.

It did have a full-text search feature, through Yahoo!, originally.

It has been broken for years now: http://www.freerepublic.com/perl/yahoo

With what we have in the Senate these days, getting 2/3rds approval will be no problem.

Even if it is, BO will simply ignore the outcome and face zero consequences. The majority of congress is undecided on whether they want to keep up the appearances of being a thoughtful debating society for appearances sake or simply a rubber stamp to the emperor.

How about we demand the return of Cuba as a US territory under the terms of the Spanish American war?

Dempocrats would love that, with all the poverty there, it'll be full of D votes.

Not in their agenda.
They love communism and oppressive dictators, Cuba as a US territory again would mean the government there would be gone.

I think this was in the can a long time ago. Remember how those communist Code Pink were always demanding that Gitmo be closed? Then when Obama got in he started letting prisoners out. Then he started taking about resuming diplomatic relations with Cuba.

The communist Code Pink wanted Gitmo closed so that it could be given to Cuba when US/Cuba relations were normalized. Obama and Code Pink wanted to give Gitmo to Cuba for some time. I don’t know if any spying on Cuba goes on but that could be a motive.
