Heard a news story tonight. It is the 10th anniversery of the Illian Gonzalez affair.

Report has it that Fidel himself delevered a speech lamenting the oppressive americans.

Go out and google that and see what you can dig up.

I'll reveal my source later. :yeah:

So I mispelled his name.. par for the course

I would opine that before that article came out, most people had either forgotten who Elian was or never knew about him in the first place. :yep:

Always wondered, does anybody think that the Elian Gonzalez - incident was one of the biggest factors in getting Bush in the white house? Remember how even Florida was. I remember the Florida Cubans fuming with anger after the case and saying "we have the electorates to decide who goes into the white house". I guess they did.

But then again, was Bush really anti-Cuba? Not really, more just a general ****-up.

The shortwave bands is the only place I heard this story. :up:

I was in Miami at the time and it was pretty ugly.

But really I was more supprised to hear of Castro's apparent good health.

Last I heard he was near death and his brother was the figurehead.

OH... LOL almost forgot there was a short news story about how BP was spreading chemicals on the surface of the spill to lessen the appearance of oil "Out of sight out of mind" was the tagline. ;)

Funny is that Radio Free China (RFC) had the same story about BP 'covering up' the oil.

I guess they all use the same news feed :har:

You know I dont remember that part.

I remember Fidel allowing the USSR to park missles on the island, the US saw that as and aggressive act and reacted accordingly.

Fourtnatly at the time we had a very competent man at the helm.

But I do not remember Fidel 'urged' the USSR rather I think he was soiling his breeches.

What possible benefit to Fidel would that have been? Think about it.
