Havana (AFP) - A former Cuban spy urged Washington Monday to swap three detained agents for the freedom of American Alan Gross, citing the deal that saw a US soldier released over the weekend.

Can we get that American Marine who’s being held prisoner in Mexico? We can give them 10,000,000 Mexican criminals in exchange.

Defense Sec. Chuck Smeagol has assured us that that will never happen.

40 Millions.

That only happens under a Republican administration.

Under O and friends, the entire world loves us and showers us with sparkle ponies and rainbows.
