Based on unsubstantiated reports in an Italian newspaper, GOP presidential hopeful Michele Bachmann warned Wednesday that the United States could be facing another Cuban Missile Crisis, but from Hezbollah, the Middle Eastern terror group.

"There's reports that have come out that Cuba has been working with another terrorist organization called Hezbollah," Bachmann said in a speech Monday in Iowa. "And Hezbollah is looking at wanting to be part of missile sites in Iran and, of course, when you are 90 miles offshore from Florida, you don't want to entertain the prospect of hosting bases or sites where Hezbollah could have training camps or perhaps have missile sites or weapon sites in Cuba. This would be foolish."

It is believed the Minnesota congresswoman was referring to a report in a conservative Italian newspaper that has not been found to have any merit, but that the Huffington Post pointed out has been cited on a few American blogs, The Daily Mail reported.

We already know that Iran is building missile sites in Venezuela

Maybe we should inform Cuba that if these sights launch one missile, Cuba will be a sand pile in one hour.

Or could not be planning. Depends on who she talked to.

Or she could be getting info due to the fact that She's a member of the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.

Obama will, no doubt, offer Gitmo to them at a very cheap price!

[Perdogg]

That would be worse for her - disclosing classified information.

[cripplecreek]

Who says its classified?

Just because the media doesn’t mention something that may harm their marxist friends, doesn’t make it secret.

[silverleaf]

I hope she’s not getting her intelligence from Italian newspapers and the HuffPo.....

[Noamie]

If Kennedy had nuked it we could probably be building resorts there by now.

Democrat short-sightedness.

Based on unsubstantiated reports in an Italian newspaper,

(*sigh*) Yeah... don't you love the MSM meme in action? "At all costs, talk dismissively about Bachmann as you'd talk about any bubblehead. Lead the American people to think that she, as president, will get her intel from foreign tabloids..."

Jeebus, is she totally insane?

[BfloGuy]

Jeebus, is she totally insane?

The jury's still out, but the topic is being discussed.

The jury's still out, but the topic is being discussed.

Unfortunately for her, when she says things like this people are just waiting for her to follow up with some proclamation that aliens are implanting microchips into unsuspecting people.

What I really enjoy is watching “conservatives” talk a big game but when the media tells them what they want to hear, they happily join in with the bashing and prove themselves to be a bunch of lying cowardly hypocrites.

...make that Cuba in 30-minutes...tops. Perhaps points Mid-East in the same time span. Lets get it did.
