Oh, brother... - UPDATED

raul castro:

You give us our five criminals and we'll release five political prisoners.


Este hijo de puta, igual que el hermano, no tiene abuela.

UPDATE (Henry):

Let me expand on the above. raul castro is trying to play the moral equivalency game by comparing 5 spying sons of bitches that were convicted in federal court and who have lost their appeals and one of which was involved in the Brothers to the Rescue Shootdown to Cuban dissidents whose only "crime" is disagreeing with their government.

If Obama indulges the regime in this little ruse it will speak volumes about the nature of the incoming administration. It will signal a morally weak and ethically challenged presidency. You can't trade criminals' freedom for that of innocents.

Obama should speak loudly and uncompromisingly about the plight of the dissidents. What's more, President Bush should address this before he leaves office.

Furthermore the INTERNATIONAL MEDIA should NOT refer to the proposed sham as a "PRISONER SWAP" as they already are. To pretend that spies and dissidents are pawns that can be traded equally is an insult to freedom loving people everywhere.

It's incredible how much time and energy Castro, Inc. spends on all of this petty tic for tac, on all of this chusmeria. They spend more time on this BS than anything else. If only they spent a fraction of the energy that they spend trying to pull the rug from under the feet of el exilio and Uncle Sam as on trying to at least get the inertia and inefficiency of the Cuban economy working, maybe things would be a little better in Cuba.

Talk about los chusmas del barrio.

Rayarena,

Since the Castro brothers never had the talent to make a better Cuba for the people they had to engage in the only things they're good for:

1. The enslaveremnt of the Cuban people for the last 49+ years.

2. The chusmeria that you just mentioned.

3. The spread of the "Rebolution" thought Latin America and parts of Africa.

For my christmas gift, Santa is planting C4 in Raul's and Chavez's airplane. Should be one hell of a fire works show. But seriously why do we allow these asses to continue living?

That's the $64,000,000 question.
