I spent my last four years working at the U.S. Mission in Havana. Even though we were in a hell of a lot better position for a rescue than, say, Islamabad, it still would’ve been an interesting scenario if the Cubans ever decided to take our building and people. At no time during my time in Cuba, Africa or the Middle East was there ever any doubt in my mind that the U S Forces would come to our rescue. Of course, Oblahblah wasn’t Pres then.
Interesting.
