Cuban diplomat says US hostility toward Cuba at an unprecedented level under Bush
The Associated Press

Published: October 24, 2006

WASHINGTON American hostility toward Cuba has reached "unprecedented levels" under the Bush administration, a senior Cuban official said Tuesday. He predicted that the U.N. General Assembly will deliver a sharp rebuke of U.S. policies in a resolution next month.

Cuba's chief diplomat in Washington, Dagoberto Rodriguez, said the world assembly will denounce the U.S. trade embargo against Cuba, as it has each year since the early 1990's.

"The longest running and most ruthless blockade ever known to mankind will be rejected again," Rodriguez said, noting that 182 countries voted to end "this cruel and genocidal policy" last year.

He said the United States pursues regime change in Cuba and seeks to annex the island.

1. Not just Bush policy either. Started with JFK.
There was only ONE single Dem candidate running for US prez who had the balls to say that the US embargo/sanctions on Cuba should end forthwith.

That person was Dennis Kucinich.
