Two Pigs Labeled 'Fidel' and 'Raul.'

Just admit who was standing in the way of an appropriate US response, IBChickenpecker.

FDR once stated that to obtain important goals that it is sometimes necessary to “hold hands with the devil”. Arguably, in the realm of geopolitics, the Saudis wield an influence the U.S. needs, if it can, to exploit. In no manner, can you make a similar argument for Cuba.

Cuba does have oil potential , maybe that influenced a thaw in relations....



Without US sanctions, offshore exploration will be easier. Besides, the use of advanced technology will increase the chances to find commercially viable wells. In the new context, offshore blocks acquisition will become an expensive auction game where US oil companies may grab all interesting places.

Given its prospects, it's doubtful that Cuba will give up its hunt for oil. The U.S. Geological Survey estimates that the waters north and west of Cuba contain 4.6 billion barrels of oil. State-owned Cubapetroleo says undiscovered offshore reserves all around the island may be more than 20 billion barrels, which would be double the reserves of Mexico.

"Cuba has 5 billion to 20 billion barrels of oil off its coast, just 70 miles off the Florida Keys. Soon, Cuban workers on a Chinese-built rig owned by Spain will be drilling in mile deep-waters. China has signed contracts with oil companies from Brazil, India, Italy, Russia and Spain and is in talks with China over lease deals. This oil find could make Cuba independent of Venezuelan crude, from which Cuba gets 60 percent of its oil. Due to our 49-year embargo with Cuba, U.S. oil companies cannot drill in Cuban waters, supply equipment there, or help in the event of an oil spill.[xiv]"

There is also a rumor that recounts how opening up dialog with Cuba, by terms of the treaty establishing Guantanamo, Comrade Raul and Odumbo -- without Congress -- could agree to close Guantanamo; thus, free the remaining prisoners as Odumbo has always promised and, in Comrade Raul's eyes, rid Cuba of the American presence in Cuba.

Keep it up. I think the nice men in the white coats and butterfly nets will be at your door soon.



Of course, it could be argued that Florida has been a blue state ever since they contributed to the illegal election of Shrubya. But I'm sure YOURE right, Corpy, and EVERYBODY else is wrong.

where did I say it was about anything else?

You really need a vacation, IBIdiot.

Time to leave in a HUFF!

Do you understand the context in which I posted that? Do you have a problem with opening trade with Cuba? If so is it because of human rights violations? If so then do you have a problem with Saudi Arabia ' s human rights record? Are you linear in your thought process? I at least think I am as I think we should trade with both.

Where did I claim this thread was about something other than Cuba? You're lying if you can't point out where I said this thread was about anything else.

One-two-three-four--

Based on YOUR OP, this thread is about PIGS LABELED FIDEL AND RAUL. I didn't see a word about Raul until post #42. Besides, Raul Julia is dead, just like your arguments, Corpy!

Five--six--seven...

You still won't admit who caused the U.S. to back off of Mexico in the 1930s, because you don't want to start another discussion about your hero worship for past despots, kinda like your affection for TWO PIGS LABELED FIDEL AND RAUL.

Eight...nine... Will he get off the canvas, fans?

You're lying flat on your back again, IBIdiot. And lying trough your false teeth again. You hijack your own thread constantly. And you're doing it again.

If you don't not deny it, then nobody could disagree that you're not telling the truth.

where? You're lying if you can't point out where I said this thread was about anything else?

Where did I do that, you punch drunk palooka?

Quote it. if you're right, I'll agree, but I'm not going to try and make sense out of your brain damaged accusations.

Otherwise, you're just continuing to hijack your own thread because you're desperately trying to avoid facing the reality of admitting your worship of despotism and hatred of freedom.

Where did I do that, you corpse? Originally Posted by Yssup Rider
