next 20 years in administration, did you?

.......does Cuba have any oil ??

Nickel industry
Cuba has had until recently one of the America's most productive and long
standing nickel mines.

Oil wealth
Recent oil exploration has revealed that the North Cuba Basin has
approximately 4.6 billion to 9.3 billion barrels of oil in it, which Cuba
has now started to test-drill (as of 2006).

haven't you Yankee dopes noticed he is standing for president right
under your noses? So is it pull out of Iraq and leave a power vacuum

Nahh, if he's in Cuba leave him there--depending for his life on the
good will of Godless pork-eating Communists who wouldn't blink an eye
at blowing his brains out if he tried to stir up trouble for them has
to be worse than any punishment that the law could impose. I suspect
that if he really was stuck there that he's already have jumped the
fence to escape into Gitmo.

Don't we need to stay in Iraq, so Al Quida doesn't come here?
Actually, bin Laden is hiding in my MIL's attic. Someone,
please call the Pentagon. I need close air support.

possibly, I find it hard to follow Bush's logic. My impression is the
worst thing to do was invade Iraq, the second worse will be to walk
away.

I saw him in Spain, really looked like him. I felt really sorry for

Don't know about that, but I hear that it is housing prisoners for years
at a time without any charges laid and subjecting them to military
tribunals for crimes alleged to have been committed in another country.
