| Minister: Cuban Defense Exercises Will Serve to Warn U.S. | ||
| 2004-12-09 | ||
Defense Minister Raul Castro said the reason Cuba plans to hold a series of defense exercises for the general population is so the United States will see it shouldn't dare attack the communist country. The exercises are "for (the United States) to observe closely, so it doesn't make the same mistakes it made in Vietnam and is now making in Iraq," Castro, the younger brother of Cuban President Fidel Castro, told Cuban media Tuesday. The exercises, to be held Dec. 13 to 19, are aimed at evaluating how prepared Cuban society is to face possible military action against Cuba during a second term by U.S. President George W. Bush.

| #5 Fidel also has the Chicoms in PANAMA CANAL as well as in HAITI ags PUERTO RICO and British Commonwealth states. The anti-American LeftMedias and Leftperts are NOT reporting that every potential US/Western ally around the world is surrounded by at least two anti-American andor Communist entities, all while US/Allied milfors are diverted fighting Radical Islam, Bill Clinton's "THIRD WAY", aka THIRD PARTY ALIBISTS. |

| #4 If the descriptions of the Hispanic/LatinBlogs are accurate, CUBA is well on its way to becoming another NORTH KOREA [the starving Cannibal one]in about 10-15 years. Its getting harder and harder to find, buy, or grow domestic foodstuffs, while many small towns in Cuba suffer from prolonged and getting longer outages of water and power. CASTRO and his own, however, have it made as usual, like KIM and KIM 2 - inevitably, HAVANA and other Party/Casto-controlled cities will not escape. FIDEL WON'T CARE BECAUSE HE'LL LIKELY BE DEAD BY THEN. It amazes me - despite knowing that Socialism and Communism are abject failures, and that under OWG and SWO their nations will never be anything except glorified slave states to RUSSIA-CHINA the former are STILL fighting for their right to as such, and to REMAIN PERENNIALLY MINOR/BACKWARD NATIONS WHILE DEMANDING TO BE UNCONDITIONALLY OR ASYMMTERICALLY $$$ SUPP BY THE WORLD COMMUNITY, ESPEC THE USA. |

| #3 Then there's the issue of the Brutal Cuban SummerTM we have to take into consideration. Are our Humvees air-conditioned? |

| #2 Hmmm. Those exercises sound expensive. Require a lot of planning, stopping regular work, fuel, etc. Sounds like it'll put a nice little (extra) strain on Cuban society. Let's keep them on their toes. Stage a counter exercise. Make'em drill, train and maneuver as much as possible. You know they cannot afford the logistics required. The Castros will crumble. |

| #1 Sorry Raul we already have enough welfare recipients in Perto Rico. Taking on your whole population as well after they kill you and the rest of your family will have to be left to someone else. Why Invade a target small enough to nuke from orbit anyhow? |
