jon_cary a beacon of hope for freedom
except the for the Cuban dissidents
who were oddly not invited to the flag raising ceremony
Why do you find it odd that Cuban dissidents weren't invited?
When has the US ever given a damn about Cuban dissidents? When they serve the purpose of making Cuba look bad, then they tolerated them, now they don't want to do this, why do they need them? I mean, when has the US ever given a damn about anyone?
You and those who feel a need to assassinate Sect. Kerry's character might want to read the link below - well those of you who don't fear cognitive dissonance and choose to be willfully ignorant:
Cubans stunned by Kerry speech but skeptical of change Reuters
"Cuban dissidents believe Obama is making a real attempt at change but that Castro will hold firm, refusing to loosen the Communist Party's hold on power.
"No, nothing is going to change because the U.S. government shows good intentions but the Cuban regime doesn't, in fact everything to the contrary," said Jose Daniel Ferrer, leader of the largest dissident group, the Patriotic Union of Cuba.
Like other dissidents, he was not invited to the flag-raising ceremony but he did meet with Kerry at the U.S. embassy residence.
Despite his skepticism, Ferrer was struck by the image of Kerry's message broadcast on tightly controlled Cuban television.
"Yes, that's positive for the cause," he said."
cary wrecked his own character years ago
go piss up a tree
LOL, proof positive you have nothing to offer. Kerry was not the only Vietnam Era Vet to protest our actions in SE Asia - the My Lai Massacre was the tipping point for many of us.
