Fidel Castro - Cuba

[PistolPaknMama]

Why on earth would the US send negotiators to a CUBAN ferry loaded with CUBANS and highjacked by CUBANS in international waters. What is there to negotiate? "Are you sure you want this boat to go to the US?" "Are you really really sure you want this boat to go to the US?"

Piracy is terrorism and terrorist pirates should be treated as such.

The number of attempts to escape Cuba recently suggests that things are heating up there. I wish the dissidents had guns so they could bring Fidel down.

"Those intercepted on the high seas are returned to the communist-ruled island."

This is cruel. Whats the point in making these people suffer Castros cruelty? I guess all gov'ts are cruel. They only differ in degree.

It would be nice if Castro would just die. So much suffering just to satisfy the megalomania of one man.

This story must be false. Why, we all know what a paradise Cuba is.

YOu will never have to worry about the loyalty of these immigrants.

sounds like it's getting close to time for Fidel to open his prisons and insane asylums again and send more of his scum to the United States.
The last time a boatlift happened after about a week the weather turned real bad and the seas rose to about 10 feet.
After they calmed I went fishing and that day we found 11 rafts made of practically nothing. All were intact and all were empty.
Fish use floating objects as shade umbrellas in the summer to get relief from the heat. We checked out each raft and fished each. It was the best day of fishing I've ever had.
We filled our freezers up and ate fish for the year but.
The Coast Guard had either been sinking or painting rafts with phosporesent paint to indicate to planes that the raft had been rescued. None of the rafts we saw were either painted nor burnt.
I fear that each lost its cargo at sea.
Rafts were made differently. One was simply copper pipes strung together with baling wire. Several were 55 gallon drums with timbers and water bottles.
Castro is a murderous dog. TOO bad Cuba doesn't have oil or we'd be rescueing them too.

Cuban pirates are going to be allowed to bring their boat here?

Check the manifest. See if Elian is on board.
