Bush Has Cuba In His Sights -

Bumper stickers across Florida proclaim "Iraq today, Cuba tomorrow". In the lead-up to the elections President George Bush cannot afford to ignore the vocal anti-Castro American Cuban vote in Florida. Jeb Bush, his brother and state Governor, has said: "After its success in Iraq, Washington should finish with the regime of Castro."

5. Maybe he could just jump on a carrier and shout "Mission Accomplished"

Without doing a thing. In fact he could conquer the whole world that way.

2. There could be an upside to this

All the right wing Cubans go back to Cuba, costing Republicans hundreds of thousands of votes in Florida.

3. This is total Bull Sh*t

Bush always throws out stupid crap like this to the conservative Cubans during the election cycles. Then he does nothing for them. He is not going to do anything to Cuba or Castro, it's total Bush Sh*t!

4. Well, Cuba is a grave threat.

I mean, all those guys are just itching to storm the beaches in '53 Buicks and subject us to universal health care, literacy, and great music.

They'd probably want us to read books, get flu vaccinations, and eat yummy black beans and rice.

Who knows where it would all lead!!

Too bad our overpriced, high-tech, military is incapable of suppressing a country, otherwise we'd show that Castro guy!
