What goes around comes around, and we're still waiting patiently for it to go around on Castro's and Che's American boosters.
To: Travis McGee
Mercenary leader Col. Mike Hoare had some interesting history to relate about Che's adventures in the Congo. Hoare? From Number Five Commando? Oh yes, I've heard of him.

An old amigo named 'Felix' was in that group I do believe. I think he wrote a pretty good book about his exploits that details the last few days of Comrade Che'. Hey, lookit what Felix caught! El Che doesn't look any happier than Saddam did!

During many conversations with Cubanos in Miami that escaped the Bay of Pigs... to them JFK was the PIG... He trained them dropped them off at the Bay of Pigs and the second wave (all the ammunition ) never came.. The ships just all hauled up and away.. leaving them STRANDED.. with empty guns, no food, no prayer, and prison and torture in front of them..
Nice guy JFK... No wonder Kerry worships at the coffin of JFK.. What is it about Massachucetts..? the water ? Because this state is a cancer to the Republic..

The cockroach in question was destroyed not long after the decision was made in D.C. Easy when our great country has both the power and the *will* to get rid of a piece of filth.

The date was December 23, 1988. Bush penned
a brief, congenial Christmas note to a controversial figure, former CIA operative Felix Rodriguez. "Good luck," said part of Bush's message. "May 1989 by calmer than 1988."
It had indeed been a tumultuous year, for both Bush and Rodriguez. During 1988 many of the facts about the Iran-Contra scandal had come to light, even as Bush managed an electoral victory for the office of President of the United States. Both men had been mired in allegations that they participated in illegal operations run by the CIA and National Security Council aide Oliver North.

Rodriguez, like Bush, had deep connections in the intelligence community. A Cuban exile who participated in several CIA anti-Castro projects, Rodriguez was a self-proclaimed "Shadow Warrior" (the title of his autobiography). When the CIA's secret war against Cuba died down, Rodriguez would go on to serve in U.S. paramilitary operations in Vietnam and elsewhere. His most famous CIA assignment came in 1967, when he witnessed the capture and execution of Che Guevara, the Argentine Communist who helped lead the Cuban revolution.
During the early 1980s, Rodriguez was stationed in El Salvador, where he played an instrumental role in a supply network set up by Reagan administration officials to aid the Nicaraguan contras, a rebel force backed by the CIA.
A congressional investigation led by Senator John Kerry turned up evidence that some contra groups who used this network were also transporting significant quantities of cocaine.
Neither Bush nor Rodriguez was directly implicated in the contra cocaine trade. However, both men were intimately involved with the policies that made such scandalous activity possible. Bush may or may not want to include his letter to Rodriguez in the official Bush correspondence collection. But if that collection is to include the truly revealing letters from Bush's career, this one should be a prime candidate.

Thats the gentleman.
Arasina, it must be an interesting source for your info posted. What the Kerry committee found, and spun completely into fantasy, as good little Sandinista piriquacoco's, was that the cocaine was coming from Nicaragua. It seems the nasty little Sandys had an excellent trans-shipment base set up at Illopango Airport outside of Managua. Planes would fly in from Panama, Columbia and sometimes Jamaica. They were off-loaded, cargo logged and then sent on their way. All with tariffs going to those fun-loving comrades enjoying the bounty. Fidel had run out of money and the Soviets weren't supplying much more than advisors.
But Sandy supporters, piriquaco's (it means 'barking dogs') were glad to divert attention from this by claiming it was the Contra's doing the smuggling.Such is how 'history' is re-written.

Speaking of the hero Felix Rodriguez:
"To clear his name, Felix Rodriguez was forced to write his own book, Shadow Warrior. The truth is all there, to the lasting shame of John Kerry. If you're even thinking of voting for this man, please read it. If not, still read it. You'll cheer out loud one minute, your throat will lump the next--then your blood will boil."

regarding JFK and The Bay Of Pigs:
One of these pilots quickly spotted a long column of Castro tanks and infantry making for the Brigade. The Soviet tanks and trucks were sitting ducks. "AHA!" he thought. "NOW well turn this thing around!" The pilot started his dive ...
"Permission to engage denied," came the answer from his commander.
"This is CRAZY!" he bellowed back. "Those guys are getting the hell shot out of them down there! I can SEE it!!"
Another Navy pilot had a Castro jet in his sights..."
