Reply #77: You're welcome, concord! Hey, Bushes aren't always against terrorists! [View All]

Orlando Bosch is a name that shouldn't be forgotten. Bosch apparently is a US Govenment trained assassin specializing in bombings. He's bombed cars, hotels and passenger planes. A real friend of Democracy. Of course, George Bush Sr. sprang him out of jail. That old "Bay of Pigs Thing" again...

Orlando Bosch’s terrorist curriculum vitae

• To refresh Otto Reich’s memory

Few terrorists in history have achieved as high a level of criminal activity as Orlando Bosch.

In 1968, his fame was so great that, while under arrest for a bazooka attack on a Polish freighter, the city of Miami proclaimed Orlando Bosch Day, in support of that "exemplary" anti-Castro fighter. The pace of the attacks he carried out consisted of a campaign of terror aimed at scaring the Miami community, and raising money for "the cause" – including, of course, the terrorist leader’s bank account.

Unfortunately, his fellow Miami Cuban Otto Reich, now the White House’s top man in Latin America – who helped Bosch escape from Venezuelan justice and find refuge in the United States – seems to have lost his memory. He declared at a Senate hearing, with apparent candidness, that he was unaware of his friend Orlando Bosch’s terrorist past.

That declaration notwithstanding, dozens and dozens of terrorist attacks are attributed to Orlando Bosch and the gangs he led. Perhaps this "black list" will refresh the memory of George W. Bush’s close collaborator.
