Harry wrote: 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. Certainly American troops are already spread so thin they haven't the manpower to invade anyone else! (And, since many of our troops in Iraq are National Guardsmen, we haven't much in the way of troops for "emergency response" here at home, either.) "Erick T. Barkhuis" -o-m wrote in message t... Forest Gimp: Fidel Castro announces retirement You didn't expect him to feature at the next disco party, claiming his next 20 years in administration, did you? US President George W Bush said ......

From Wikipedia: __________________________ 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). ___________________________ -- Erick |

(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.) |

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. It does? I was not aware that human rights applied only to citizens. They apply to all people, not just citizens. The Supreme Court ruled that it had no jurisdiction over the prisoners at Gitmo because it is not American soil. Curiously, US law if being used to prosecute the prisononers. You can't help but wonder how it is that they can capture people in Afghanistan and take them to Cuba to be tried under US law when the SC has ruled that it has no jurisdiction on other than US soil. |

By withdrawing military support for the Batitista regime in 1958, after the struggle had been going on for 5 years? The US had been a major supporter of Batista. |

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? yoiu have lost me too! Does this naval station make Castro look like the plucky under dog? -- Mike Remove clothing to email |
