You didn't expect him to feature at the next disco party, claiming his
next 20 years in administration, did you?

__________________________
Nickel industry
Cuba has had until recently one of the America's most productive and long
standing nickel mines.

Oil wealth
Recent oil exploration has revealed that the North Cuba Basin has
approximately 4.6 billion to 9.3 billion barrels of oil in it, which Cuba
has now started to test-drill (as of 2006).

haven't you Yankee dopes noticed he is standing for president right
under your noses? So is it pull out of Iraq and leave a power vacuum
for the mad towel heads and finally invade Cuba successfully?

Don't we need to stay in Iraq, so Al Quida doesn't come here?
Actually, bin Laden is hiding in my MIL's attic. Someone,
please call the Pentagon. I need close air support.

possibly, I find it hard to follow Bush's logic. My impression is the
worst thing to do was invade Iraq, the second worse will be to walk
away.

Nahh, if he's in Cuba leave him there--depending for his life on the
good will of Godless pork-eating Communists who wouldn't blink an eye
at blowing his brains out if he tried to stir up trouble for them has
to be worse than any punishment that the law could impose. I suspect
that if he really was stuck there that he's already have jumped the
fence to escape into Gitmo.

Don't know about that, but I hear that it is housing prisoners for years
at a time without any charges laid and subjecting them to military
tribunals for crimes alleged to have been committed in another country.

Careful with that one. Cuba, the nation, has been said to do that
from time to time you know.

Huh? I'm sorry, you've lost me. Are you by any chance laboring
under the misconception that the United States Naval Station on the
island of Cuba is administered by the Cuban government?
