Bush promises to rid Cuba of "tyrant" Castro.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

Just read it on Yahoo. Here's the link. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=1506&e=3&u=/afp/20041031/ts_alt_afp/us_vote_bush

I guess he's determined to "protect" us from hordes of Commies Cubans with cigars, driving '54 Buicks, pouring through the streets of Miami and forcing the citizens to eat black beans and rice and sign up for universal health care.

Bush takes idiocy to new depths.

1. Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush I and

Clinton have tried to oust Fidel and he remains.
Castro is possibly the most well protected leader on the planet.

13. They need him there

to keep the population of Cubans in Florida fired up, and maintain them as a critical voting bloc. If they were to actually get rid of him, they would lose all that.

My guess is that the failures of the famous CIA assassination attempts were deliberate. Their purpose was probably to make Castro more paranoid, and to convince the Cuban Americans we were trying to do something, for purposes of keeping them fired up and politically engaged.

2. He just wants Florida.

Bush is just another politician who will say anything to get elected. Sound familiar?

Projection at work.

3. So, when does the invasion begin? Seriously, Boosh is delusional.

4. I'd pay to see that failure.

5. Just trying to stroke his...

... right-wing Little Havana base, which, from what I read, has been flagging a little of late. He's getting nervous about Dem turnout in Miami-Dade. Otherwise, he'd be taking it for granted that Jebbie was getting them all stirred up.

Of course, that's if he has the chance to do something about Castro. Can't do anything if he's not in office to do it, can he? :P

6. Maybe Dimson should have focused on democracy here and

let the people of other countries worry about their own nation building.

And why is he against Castro? George has made it quite clear that his life would be easier if he was dictator. Is he jealous of the Saddams and Castros of this wrld?

[flordehinojos]

7. and bush has the chutzpah to say that "Kerry says anything to get elected"

NOW....NOW.....NOW.....Mr. Bush... WHO is SAYING ANYTHING TO GET ELECTED?

[Hog lover]

8. Would be funny if Shrub weren't crazy enough to invade Cuba. eom

[hlthe2b]

9. Good God-- the guys got both feet in the grave up & sinking to the knees--

Wake up people-- Bush* really does have "idiot-imperialist" syndrome.

[UpsideDownFlag]

10. maybe THEY'LL greet us with flowers, eh? nt

[charlyvi]

11. How does he plan to get rid of him?

Is he going to whack him with old age?

[Huckebein the Raven]

12. Yeah and they'll welcome us with flowers just like in Iraq

and this idiot is crazy enough to invade Cuba too.

[Crunchy Frog]

14. He won't really do it.

That would be a violation of the agreement that ended the Cuban Missile Crisis. It would be tantamount to a declaration of war against Russia.

Then again, he might be that crazy.

[troubleinwinter]

17. Hahahahahahahahaha!!!!!

"That would be a violation of the agreement that ended the Cuban Missile Crisis."

Good one! Like he has any problem violating agreements, like, oh... Geneva Convention, for example!

[Crunchy Frog]

18. Yes, but that particular agreement

may be a little weightier than the other ones that he's broken. It is one that ended a crisis that nearly brought the US and USSR to war. The agreement essentially makes Russia the guarantor of Cuban sovereignty, and a violation of that agreement by invading Cuba is equivilent to an attack on Russia if they choose to see it that way.

Dumbya probably doesn't see the seriousness of this, and probably alot of other people don't either, but in my opinion, it would likely open a can of worms that could be geopolitically catastrophic.

[mitchum]

15. Must be really desperate if he has to step up the pandering...

to the usually reliable Miami crybabies

[charlie]

16. That's our tough guy prez

Always going for the low-hanging fruit. Trying to get his soulmate Pooty to notch the megalomania down a bit would be more useful, but Putin can and will tell him to get stuffed.
