Get this: a dozen or so US congressmen went to Cuba this weekend to meet with Cuban government officials. Guess what they came up with?
“This marks the beginning of a new dialogue,” said Rep. Jeff Flake, a Republican from Arizona, who is leading the 10-member American contingent — one of the largest in decades. “With the changes here and the changes in the U.S., the planets are aligned.”
“The Cubans are openly asking for trade. They don’t want aid, they want trade,” he said in an interview on a seaside patio at the Hotel Nacional. “It would be a surplus for us, they want to buy American goods.”
THE PLANETS ARE ALIGNED FOR TRADE!!!!! WOOHOO!!!!
Dumbass self-serving fuckwits.
“In making judgments, Early Kings were perfect, because they made moral principles the starting point of all their undertakings and the root of everything that was beneficial. This principle, however, is something that persons of mediocre intellect never grasp. Not grasping it, they lack awareness, and lacking awareness, they pursue profit. But while they pursue profit, it is absolutely impossible for them to be certain of attaining it.” ~ Lu Bu-wei 246BC
I wish you well 🙂 Melek
And, as you’ve said a thousand times before, they’re free to trade with every other country on the planet. They don’t need the US for anything. Actually, if they’re really communists, they don’t need anyone else for anything, ever. Totally self-sufficient, workers’ paradise, right?
I’m so angry about what those boneheaded congressmen did, I don’t even have words for it.
Several members of this delegation are part of the Cuban Working Group, and this is not the first time they’ve been to Cuba, they went in 2002, dined with fidel,and came back spouting the same bullshit. It makes me sick.
REp. Jeff Flakes (R-Arizona)has been working with American Socialist Pro-Castro groups for years trying to get Washington D.C. to drop the trade sanctions on Castro. He is one of Castros American defenders. He cares nothing about the suffering of the Cuban people. For him, its about cash in his pocket. He is no friend of the Cuban people.
The problem with prostitution is that it pays.
It makes one wonder WHAT kind of hold the castro brothers have over Flake. I’ll bet there are compromising tapes of this “illustious” congressman.

sick and shamefull. can’t these american representatives see how they are being played? or is it that they’re being payed to promote trade with the world’s largest slaveholder. they ignore european business experience with castro as well as failing to see dealing with fidel would be like dealing with say the gambino crime family, in hope that in doing so would change the criminal behavior and promote lawful change.
Jeff Flake is endorsed by Senator John McCain http://www.straighttalkamerica.com/campaigns/ and many conservative organizations (National Taxpayers Union, gun rights groups, anti-abortion groups, anti “pork” groups etc.) See http://www.jeffflake.com.
Interesting, huh?
