If we invade Cuba (and obviously we can and will easily win)...

[Nitrogenica]

is this the long awaited trump card? What about Haiti, was that the setup?

[TallahasseeGrannie]

1. Where are you getting

this from? Have I missed something?

[AtomicKitten]

2. hey, why not San Francisco?

ferret out all pockets of resistance.

[Nitrogenica]

5. Just saw a story about a war between Castro and a hotel

flashing anti castro messages from the US...just caught the last part of the story.

[AtomicKitten]

6. yes, BushCo is sending his message of "freedom" to the oppressed.

Unfortunately he doesn't mention they'd be trading one type of oppression for another.

[ewoden]

3. We invade Cuba and the following will happen . . .

1. Venezuela turns off the oil tap.
2 Russia will begin backing tehran, just to make the point that bygonnes are not truly bygonnes
3. A bunch of Cubans are gonna die killing a bunch of Americans.
4. All diplomatic relations with central and south america will go ever further into the crapper, as if they can they get much deeper.

[emulatorloo]

4. no oil in cuba - admin only interested in "spreading democracy" to oil

producing countries.

[dubya_dubya_III]

11. Sure

Cuba would be an ideal place to exploit pliable, brokerable Catholic Fascism as a 'democratic' alternative for corrupt domination by a 'broad based' GOP style "Political" Party! Ooops, forgot, seems like the corrupt, exploitative religious fascist Batista's already lost that one for us...

Of course we'd never want to establish a secular Republic of Liberty like our own there, because the hated 'socialist' representatives of working people would surely win that one too...

[dubya_dubya_III]

14. errata

I should have said "secular Republic of Liberty unlike our own"

[HereSince1628]

18. But there is oil off-shore Cuba.

Don't think it has missed the notice of the oil-junta.

[Nitrogenica]

7. Here it is!!!

17. CNN is just pimp for the White House and you bought into it!

Castro has called Posada the Western Hemisphere's worst terrorist and accuses the United States of planning to free him from a detention center in El Paso, Texas, where he is being held on immigration charges.

I have to agree with Castro on that!

[guidod]

22. Fox CNN, no difference.

[0007]

23. "0" nada, zelch, Zero

[Doctor_J]

8. Tha would be a nice pageant leading into the mid-terms

Smirk could give a news conference while holding a pikestaff with Castro's head mounted on top of it. You're thinking like Rove! Congrats!

[Nitrogenica]

9. We are at war with anyone, unfortunately, that we don't like.

I guess our future is if we (those in power who lie to us) don't like you we can spread summore democracy around...that is unless we stay our (dems) course of the enlightenment of truth!

[abex]

10. last attempted invasion in '62 how'd that one go?

[dubya_dubya_III]

12. It ended up with a mob boss named Bush

becoming deeply involved in an elaborate web of lies that led to the inescapable conclusion that military industrial tyrants controlling our unconstitutional CIA Mafia were deeply implicated in the assassination of an unpliable, uncooperative President-slave.

[Bridget Burke]

21. Nixon's coded reference to the Kennedy Assassination....

Was "Bay of Pigs."

The invasion was planned under Eisenhower & Nixon. Kennedy went through with it, but declined US military support.

[Nitrogenica]

13. The cold war is over. Cuba is the long saved trumper.

We need to stay our course, we have truth on our side no what matter what happens.

[dflprincess]

15. Win and win easily???

Don't forget, we were told Iraq would be a "cakewalk" and the soldiers welcomed "with flowers".

[Mika]

16. You've got it right, dflprincess

Cuba has a huge civil militia in addition to their military. Well trained. Dedicated to the revolution plus well educated as to the US's history of oppressing Cuba - and wanting none of it.

It wouldn't be a cake walk and it would start out worse than Iraq (remember that the Iraqis waited a few months before realizing what the US was up to - Cubans know what the US is up to already).

[Lone_Wolf]

19. I think they'll wait until Castro passes...

and then install a US friendly regime under the guise of fair elections. If the US invaded Cuba, there will undoubtably be much bloodshed. Keep in mind that many American-Cubans here in the US still have relatives and friends in Cuba. Most don't want to see bloodshed there which might hurt loved ones. I suspect an invasion would make even the pro-Repuke American Cubans in MIami turn on the Repukes.

[oc2002]

20. ..if history recalls. CUBA would not be a cakewalk..but turn into another

..quagmire of guirila operations from the deeply jungled hills in Cuba. And although we would have air and land superior fire power, we would become locked in a endless ocupation..
