Isn't Cuba also hiding Osama? Let's invade!

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.

Careful with that one. Cuba, the nation, has been said to do that
from time to time you know.

Fidel Castro announces retirement

US President George W Bush said ......

"And we're going to help. The United States will help the people of
Cuba realise the blessings of liberty."

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


Notice how the State Department said they're not lifting the embargo anytime
soon. What would lifting the embargo do to the Florida economy? Sugar cane,
tourism, etc.etc....

We haven't invaded Venezuela yet. What is Chavez gonna do now that his
buddy is retired or dead?

What if he (Chavez) decides to invade Colombia or Nicaragua invade San
Andres or Colombia invade the Nicaraguan Caribbean?

I hope they B.Y.O.B.

You didn't expect him to feature at the next disco party, claiming his
next 20 years in administration, did you?

Huh? I'm sorry, you've lost me. Are you by any chance laboring
under the misconception that the United States Naval Station on the
island of Cuba is administered by the Cuban government?

Perhaps so, but they are a country with with a corrupt dictator and few
civil rights. They don't have any long term leases on land in other
countries where they can send prisoners captured elsewhere and then
prosecute them under their law while denying them the civil rights offered
by the same set laws because they are on foreign soil.

Actually being on "foreign soil" has more to do with keeping the press
and the ambulance chasers away than with denying their supposed civil
rights. The Supreme Court has addressed this and established the
rules to be followed for non-citizens suspected of terrorism.

Better he should restore "the blessings of liberty" to the
people of the U.S.A. first! (Judging by his track record so
far, the Cuban people are likely to regard his remarks more
as a THREAT than a promise of help.)

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
for the mad towel heads and finally invade Cuba successfully?

Clearly your spelling ability needs refinement!
