1. Immediate cruise missile strikes on Cuban military facilities. 2. Several weeks of B-52 raids on suspected bio-war facilities and critical C4I facilities (including Lourdes). 3. Naval blockade. My thesis is that if the Cold War really ended in 1991, then no one will help Cuba, and, we'll be able to at long last depose Castro and ensure the development of a responsible regime reflective of Cuba's Spanish roots and innate (e.g. if not terrorised by autocratic Communist totalitarianism) Western, Euro-Carribean orientation. And if the ChiCOMs and supposedly reborn Russians come to the aid of Cuba, then we'll have smoked out some folks who were simply stringing us along. This is what is known as the antitdote to appeasement and Neville Chamberlainism...

Excellent idea. I have been supporting a US invasion of Cuba to liberate it from Communist control for the last 17 years. Cuba is a rogue state. It is also the primary state-sponsor of terror in the Western Hemisphere. Back in the mid-1980s, it was cited as one of the two main centers of terrorism in the world--the other being the PLO. If Bush wants to be true to his supposed "war on terrorism", he would support a blockade or bombing of Cuban military sites as you advocate. Of course, we all know that his war on terrorism is deeply lacking in moral clarity. Bush and Powell supported Arafat and his terrorist PLO for nearly 18 months before finally giving up on him. They tried to recruit the largest state sponsor of terror, the Islamic Republic of Iran into the "anti-terror" coalition and have done the same with terrorist state sponsors Syria and Sudan which has committed genocide against black Christians whom it also enslaves. Yet, paradoxically, the ChiCom supported government of Sudan has been praised by Bush-Powell for its cooperation in the "war against terror", which is pretty funny since the Sudanese government is itself led by terrorists. This is the kind of crap we have come to expect from the Bush-Powell foreign policy of appeasing terrorist and Communist states. Perhaps a new conservative Secretary of State would help Bush get back on track. Undersecretary John Bolton would likely be a marked improvement over the liberal globalist appeaser Colin Powell.

It is so weird to recall anything about the Blockade of Cuba in 1961.

The concern then was a different wepaon of mass destruction - Russian nukes. Why today this contemporary Cuban biothreat doesn't cause a similar reaction by the U.S. is beyond me.

Hey Stavka, join the modern world. They dont make Tin foil anymore, they make Aluminum foil. Or do you guys over in Russia still use Tin?

I am so glad that actual adults sit in the White House and not arm chair psychoes like the bunch of you. Ever wondered on the political consequences of such stupidity? Or did the bunch of you never make it past the pretty, big explosions?
