Cuba
Several of you have sent us a link about the three Marines who lowered the US flag at the embassy in Cuba in 1961 and then raised it again yesterday. Personally, I wouldn’t have voluntarily taken part in that sh1t show, but I guess that’s what you do when you’re called to duty again.
So, the Cuban government should be grateful that we’ve resumed diplomatic relations with them, right? Well, no, not much. In fact, before the flag had flapped more than a few times, Josefina Vidal, director of U.S. affairs for the Cuban Foreign Ministry, was telling Reuters that they ain’t moving on any issues with the US.
“Decisions on internal matters are not negotiable and will never be put on the negotiating agenda in conversations with the United States…Cuba will never do absolutely anything, not move one millimeter, to try to respond,” she said….
Yeah, this administration is doing a bang-up job at this negotiating thing. They just give away the store, every negotiating lever they have and get nothing in return. Cuba is harboring US criminals since the 60s and 70s and we can’t even get them back. Freedom fighters in Cuba, didn’t attend the flag raising yesterday because the Kerry contingent didn’t invite them.
In fact, Fidel Castro, in a rambling piece written for local consumption the other day, says that the US owes Cuba millions of dollars for our embargo against Cuban goods.
Let me get this right – one country out of more than 160 countries doesn’t trade with the Communist paradise and that’s the reason that their economy is in the dumper? We’re responsible for the damage that the communist government inflicted on the people of Cuba?
But I have no doubts that they’ll get paid by this administration because that’s how we roll these days. Billions for terrorists at the cost of our own national security.

Iran and Cuba should get together. They can share a lot of laughs about what a bunch of boneheads our “negotiators” are.
The Norks might drop in too. Make it a real hootenanny!
What makes you think they haven’t, Cryppie? Is there anyone else out there that this Gang That Can’t Shoot Straight can surrender to?
“Billions for terrorists at the cost of our own national security”. Sounds like a great slogan for a T-shirt, they’ll sell em at the Democrat National Convention next summer.
Send’em obozo….they they WILL be up shyt creek!!
If Castro really wanted to point fingers, he should blame Russia for cutting off subsidies after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
So…the failure of socialism in Cuba is blamed on not having a capitalist patron to do business with?
Socialist nations cannot survive on their own?
What does that tell us about socialism?
Remember 2008 and the oBaMa Houston Campaign office flap featuring a 3′ x 5′ Cuban flag with Che Guevara’s mug on it? The oBaMa people couldn’t get away from that fast enough. It was all put on the office worker’s shoulders. Well, now we know that it was not a lone office worker’s dream: it was oBaMa’s. Viva la whatever!
I don’t see any harm in having an Embassy there. You sure can’t negotiate at all if you can’t talk face-to-face.
And we’ve dealt with nations far worse and more dangerous to us than piddly Cuba.
I think we can handle it.
And seriously, if we hadn’t acted like spoiled kids with them, we’d have traded them into submission decades ago.
Anyone with some time to kill who either knows Spanish or doesnt mind subtitles should check out he Movie “Juan of the Dead”. Its a comedy/Zombie movie that isnt very flattering towards the Cuban Government.
Well, screw that Coo-bah shit. It’s Q-ba. Ditto Pock-E-stan and. It’s Pack-A-stan. So says this Merican.
It’s Cuber, nome sayin…
Cuber and Chiner. Two places I am content never to visit.
Does anyone care about the “Cuba Project” in North Vietnam and their torturing our POWs? At least one POW was killed by one of the Cubans.
