Bush expands Cuba restrictions
President George W. Bush ordered the Department of Homeland Security Thursday to do whatever necessary to prevent any unauthorized U.S.-registered vessel from entering Cuban waters.

The order, notification of which was sent to Congress, reinforces and expands the 1996 National Emergency proclamation of President Bill Clinton that was imposed after a Cuban jet shot down and killed two U.S.-based Cuban exiles searching for refugees.

"I have authorized these rules and regulations as a result of the Cuban government's demonstrated willingness to use reckless force, including deadly force, in the ostensible enforcement of its sovereignty," Bush said.

2. Last week they issued a denial that they plan to attack Cuba

Which of course means that they intend to attack Cuba, no doubt for expansion of the popular Guantanamo project.

Apparently they are still somewhat reluctant to house phase II in Arizona.
