Its official according to CNN International at 13:45 GMT -6 on the date of 2/18/08

I don't have any links b/c I could find it yet...I think its still that fresh. Give it an hour and I'm sure it will be out everywhere.

Raul is waiting for Fidel to die so he can open some doors.

McCuba will emerge in less than 4 years.

Cuba will soon become the hugely popular tourist destination it once was.

That means it won't be a dirt cheap place to go visit anymore

 

[largepkg]

You Canadians have that luxury...

 

[tucker01]

for you northern folks just fly out of Canada

 

[largepkg]

I believe that's against our laws.

 

[tucker01]

Yeah and you don't ever speed?

 

[largepkg]

Don't tell anyone.

 

[bigss75]

So democracy in Cuba is coming soon?

 

[DOMS]

So democracy in Cuba is coming soon?

God I hope so. That way we won't let anymore of those fuckers stay here.

 

[tucker01]

I doubt it with Fidels brother in charge, he has basically been running the ship the last two years.

 

[min0 lee]

This should be interesting.

 

[Big Smoothy]

I believe that's against our laws.

An American can fly to the Bahamas, then on to Havana.

The Cuban immigration won't stamp your passport.

You can return to the U.S. via the Bahamas, and no one will know.

 

[largepkg]

Correct me if I'm wrong but it would still be against the law right?

 

[DOMS]

Correct me if I'm wrong but it would still be against the law right?

But with a new leader, assuming that he's not a commie, will give the US government the opportunity to throw away the no-visit restriction to Cuba.

 

[tucker01]

Raul is a bigger commie then his brother.

 

[DOMS]

Raul is a bigger commie then his brother.

So I've heard.

The real problem is Jimmy Carter. If only he hadn't nixed our ability to assassinate political figures. We could've killed Castro. Third time's a charm and all that.

Then we could have gone after Carter.

 

[tucker01]

Gotta hope Raul is short lived. Cause apparently Castro's son is more of Democratic guy.
