Cuba: The New Iraq?
By now you have probably heard that Cuban President Fidel Castro temporarily ceded power to his younger brother Raul this week while he underwent intestinal surgery. And while he is said to be in stable condition, his absence has some Cubans worried that the US may try something while their leader is incapacitado.
Then again, installing a US friendly regime in Cuba probably doesn't sound like a bad idea to BushCo. Especially since that Caribbean isle now has something else in common with Iraq besides an abundance of non-English speaking foreigners.
Anyone care to guess when we will start hearing claims that Cuba has stockpiled WMD's? Maybe the Soviets forgot a nuke or two during their disengagement lo those many years ago?
Or perhaps the Bushies will use the 'degrees of seperation' method to connect Fidel to the mullahs in Iran. And to Kevin Bacon.
As President Bush once said:
Okay, so I made that part up. But I still say we should invade Kevin Bacon just to be on the safe side.
Former revolutionaries promised to keep fighting for Cuba on Saturday as the island beefed up security, saying it fears a U.S. attack during Fidel Castro's health crisis. The government, under the control of Castro's brother, Defense Minister Raul Castro, has mobilized citizen defense militias and asked military reservists to check in daily.
The White House has insisted no such threat exists, with press secretary Tony Snow dismissing the suggestion that the United States would attack the island as "absurd."

America will not rest until the world is safe from the threat of Communism, Islamofascism and Kevin Bacon.
