No sooner did the UN General Assembly vote against the embargo against Cuba for the 14th year in a row than the USSA reshuffles it's US-Cuba team giving credence to Cuban Foreign Minister Perez-Roque's claim that
``the U.S. government is delusional with the idea that it can overthrow the Cuban revolution.''The MiamiGusanos wanna enforce Article III of the Helms-Burton. These sadistic pukes take pleasure in starving their poorer island brother. Don't miss the Herr REICH comments. :puke:

WASHINGTON - Four new Bush administration appointments to positions that affect U.S. policy on Cuba, plus a pledge to restart a presidential commission on the island's future, are stoking hopes among some Cuban-Americans for a further tightening of sanctions on Havana.
Among their hopes are a revision of the 1995 immigration agreements with Havana that led to the wet-foot, dry-foot policy for Cuban migrants and the full implementation of Helms-Burton sanctions against some foreign investors in Cuba.
The personnel changes on Cuba policy are part of the biggest reshuffle of the State Department's Latin America team since President Bush took office in 2001. Chief among them is the arrival of Thomas Shannon as assistant secretary of state for the Western Hemisphere, the region's top diplomatic post.
Shannon's previous post running the Latin American team at the White House's National Security Council went to Dan Fisk, a former aide to retired Sen. Jesse Helms, R-N.C., who helped draft the Helms-Burton Act in 1996 and has consistently advocated for hard-line positions on Cuba.
