Cuba: Expecting the worst from the US, ‘even an invasion’

US President George W. Bush’s re-election has Cuba expecting the worst from the United States, even a military invasion, according to Cuban Vice-President Carlos Lage.

“We are always prepared for the worst, even for military aggression... because this Administration is not only right-wing, it is a crazy Administration -- and the war in Iraq proves it”, Lage said at the recent Ibero-American Summit in Costa Rica’s capital, San Jose.

“It’s a war they went into lying, a war in which the enemy is the civilian populace, towns, cities, weddings, buildings. And you cannot expect anything positive from an Administration able to do that”, Lage said.




Gotta love the Castro administration's comments on the Shrub admin.. they say it like it is. That includes the firebrand Cuban vice President Carlos Lage.

3. They read from the huge State Dept. Document
over the air on Radio Havana. This is the document where the no cash/no visiting by relatives thing came from.
It goes way beyond that!! It's basically to PRIVATIZE the entire country. 11 million people will see their great educational system gone, as well as their healthcare system. It is SICKENING!!

PS..I got a nice little Happy New Year card from Radio Havana about a month ago.
(As a result of correspondence with them over shortwave listening)...

VIVA RADIO HAVANA!!!

4. Let us know if big things turn up there. You can be sure our own gummint
listens to them. They've got complex up-close photos of the entire island from space. They know everything going on. What we hear from our own gummint about Cuba comes from their own propaganda mill.

Wouldn't it be a HORRENDOUS CRIME if Bush succeeded in breaking down their hard-won system, destroying their world-famous education and health systems? My God.

They teach American students, on scholarships to their own medical schools, to go back to their own poor neighborhoods and help the poor.

Bush's rightwing would gladly destroy it all, and turn 11,000,000 more people in Cuba out to join the Americans without medical coverage, and decent educational chances.
