Havana, Nov. 10 (AP): Cuba has applauded the Democratic victories in the US elections as a rebuke of President George W. Bush's policies.
Foreign Minister, Felipe Perez Roque, said on a state-run news programme devoted to the election results that the Democratic victories in Congress and governorships amounted to an "indisputable defeat" of the "ultraconservative" politics of Bush and his allies.
"This victory shows that diverse sectors (in the United States) have woken up," Perez Roque said on the "Mesa Redonda" programme yesterday, which is televised daily across Cuba.
The foreign minister, however, also said that he didn't expect much to change in global politics as long as Bush remains in power.
Perez Roque just returned to Cuba after presenting a resolution this week at the United Nations to condemn the US trade embargo against the communist-run island. The world body's General Assembly voted overwhelmingly Wednesday to urge the United States to end the 45-year-old policy.
"Yesterday's victory is proof ... that our resistance has not been in vain," he said yesterday.
The vote on the embargo came after the Assembly defeated an Australian amendment to the resolution calling on Cuba to free political prisoners and respect human rights.
On or Off Cuba Ping.
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." -Manuel II Paleologus
The voters of this country have no idea what they have just done to America....
"The vote on the embargo came after the Assembly defeated an Australian amendment to the resolution calling on Cuba to free political prisoners and respect human rights."
Certainly wouldn't want any condemnation of Cuba over political prisoners and human rights, would we now??
According to the Dems, the ONLY place in Cuba where there are political prisoners and no human rights is Guantanamo...
"The voters of this country have no idea what they have just done to America...."
Hello,
But they will and it will be soon.
Glad to be here, MOgirl
Wonder if our esteemed crooked politician Senator Menendez is vacationing in Cuba as we speak.
Fidel's favorite president was Jimmy Carter. Fidelistas love the Democrats...Miami Cubanos love the Republicans...They remember the "kidnapping" of Elian...
Funny. Fidel is on his deathbed, but Miami Cubanos probably won't return after his death. What they had in Cuba is long gone. With the election of Ortega, Latin America is definitely returning to a leftist strain.
Communist dictators and al-Qaeda terrorists are deliriously happy. Doesn't that say it all about the Dhimmi victory?
Has the national rat party no shame? Every dictator and terrorist organization in the world is applauding their victory.
If I were a democrat voter and heard all the praise coming from these sources, I would hang my head in shame and vow to never vote for another democrat.
'the voters..have no idea what they have...done to America'
I feel the same. How could Americans not realize that having Aylcee(?sp) Hastings in charge of the Intelligence Committee, John Conyers and Pat Leahy in charge of other Committees would not be good for our country.
Quite interesting that Cuba, Al Quaeda et al are pleased that Democrats are now in charge of the House and Senate.
That speaks volumes. But, sadly, many Americans are not listening and this has placed our security in jeopardy.
You are known by the friends you keep.
Yep, all of the enemies of America weighing in.
Bend over and smile America....the democrats have enabled you to say, "thank you enemies..may I have another"?
You will pay for your traitorous actions someday Mainstream media....dont know how or when..but your day of reckoning is coming for what you have done to the USA by aiding and abetting her enemies. Traitors, ENEMEDIA......
Cuba, where hi-tech means your escape raft has a radio.
