This harridan is touted as the Democratic favourite for the 2016 nomination!

The yanks, like the Brits have had some real lulus as the President / Prime Minister but can you imagine this women: it will be like TMBOA on speed!

I just cannot understand why the US want to get into Cuba except for security reason but does that take a full blown reversal of policy?

“I just cannot understand why the US want to get into Cuba except for security reason but does that take a full blown reversal of policy?”

Not only does the mighty US bow to Kicillof - but it capitulates to the OAS and warning from Timerman

“It would be a step backwards, a sad decision, if the next summit is again affected by the ... absence of many presidents because it has been decided to exclude Cuba,” said Argentine Foreign Affairs Minister Hector Timerman.
In the interest of regional unity, “the best thing that can happen ... is for Cuba to participate,” he said, adding that it would make it “very difficult” for Argentina to take part in the summit if Havana is snubbed again.”

Or at least some may think ; )

Cuba included vs Argentina, Bolivia and Venezuela staying away.

Bit of a no brainer for the Hawks at the State Department, that one.

No Argentina, no resolution to support colonising the Falklands.

They might even get some serious work done!

@2 Kicillof is a juvenile, dipstick, dissident. How does the US bow to him or capitulate to the OAS and Timidcow? The US said nothing at the OAS. And Timidcow is owed a US bullet through his skull! Mustn't fart around with USAF aircraft. Even if you're a proven imbecile!

Cuba can attend OAS meetings but now chooses not to.

The US embargo is not the reason.

I'm surprised the RG's keep kissing Cubas ass.

It's not as if Cuba has anything they can scrounge from them, except for advice on how to do it better!
