Key Bush Latin America Aide, Otto Reich, Resigns

Wed Jun 16, 4:49 PM ET Add Politics to My Yahoo!



WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Otto Reich, who took a hard line against presidents Fidel Castro (news - web sites) in Cuba and Hugo Chavez in Venezuela, resigned as a top adviser to President Bush (news - web sites) on Latin America, officials said on Wednesday.



White House national security adviser Condoleezza Rice (news - web sites) said in a statement that she accepted the resignation of Reich "with regret" and praised his "service to our country and his commitment to a brighter future for the western hemisphere."


Reich said last month he planned to quit for "personal and financial reasons" and that he may join Bush's re-election campaign. Rice's statement did not say what Reich's plans were, but an aide said he planned to return to the private sector.


Reich, a veteran of the 1980s Iran-Contra controversy, was a favorite of the powerful Cuban-American lobby in Washington because of his tough anti-communist views.

1. Cautious optimism...

Optimistic because it's great this fascist S.O.B. is leaving. I'm sure most of the Carribean, Central America and South America won't be sad at all about his departure. But he should be incarcerated pending a trial for human rights violations and crimes against humanity instead of landing a cushy job in the private sector.

What I'm cautious about is who his replacement will be. Another sociopath?

5. Yes. Another sociopath. Bank on it.

I hear the Corpse of Joseph Mengele is available for the job.

2. Wow, they came up with something other than

left to spend time with his family. Good for them! Must have taken days to come up with "Personal and Financial" reasons.

3. There were reports a couple of weeks ago...

... that he would probably be working for the Bush campaign in the Cuban community in Florida. That's probably likely--equally likely that he's found a way to cash in on Bush policy changes, somewhere, somehow....

can not figure out what it means, hopefully something good for a change.
