Arizona senators disagree on Cuba. McCain against, Flake for

FORT HUACHUCA — They may be both Republicans and represent Arizona in the upper chamber of Congress but they don’t agree on the recent decision of the Obama Administration of the reestablishing diplomatic relations with Cuba after six decades.

After about 90 minutes on Fort Huachuca Thursday, Sen. John McCain and Sen. Jeff Flake discussed the announcement with the Herald/Review during a quick walking interview to a plane waiting to take them to Yuma.

Flake honors his name, he is an idiot Castro’s sycophant who puts the interest of AMD over the interest of the American people.

CONGRESSMEN TO THE RESCUE OF CASTRO’S REGIMEN

Flake: Our Very Own Neville Chamberlain Visits a State-Sponsor of Terror Country

“HMJ, Western Hemisphere Policy Watch” 12/15/2006
“It is because of people like Rep. Jeff Flake that we Republicans lost the majority in 2006; all about “me” and not about what is right, just. It is a pox that the conservative movement must work to undo.”

(From the Banks of the Potomac) We have yet to ascertain what fascinates Arizona Rep. Jeff Flake about Cuba and Fidel Castro. For years he has taken taxpayer-paid junkets to a state sponsor of terror - an ironic thing for a self-proclaimed fiscal conservative. This latest trip to Cuba clearly demonstrates Flake’s callous view of Cuban-Americans or U.S. policy in a post-09/11/01 world.

We single out Flake, and this applies equally to other Republicans, because they should know better. With the Democrats? Well, there are some good ones but not a majority in the U.S. Congress would ever support a hard line position against the Cuban Communist Party (CCP) and the Cuban regime generally.

A few months ago Flake (pictured at the left) and Massachusetts Democrat Rep. Bill Delahunt requested a GAO Audit of U.S./Cuba programs. So far, not too bad. We agree that these programs have to change, but that is just about the only thing we agree on. If you want to read about the GAO audit, we posted several pieces on it (here is one). It is what Flake is now doing with the results of the report that irks WHPW Editors.

Imagine for a moment if during World War II a U.S. Congressman had ordered a study of U.S. efforts to undermine the Nazi regime. Rather than fix problems in the program quietly, so the enemy did not figure it out, this Congressman puts a target on it by releasing a report about how effective that program happened to be. Then, to add some flavor, takes a copy of the report with him to Germany to share with the Nazi high command. Well, that is exactly what Flake and company have done with the Cuba programs.
What do these Congressmen seek to gain by sitting down with the leaders of the Cuban Communist Party (CCP)? The CCP has tortured and murdered American citizens, spies on the U.S. including implanting agents deep in our military (see this link as an example), and work to undermine U.S. interests
throughout the Western Hemisphere in a variety of ways.

And, this is not even discussing how the CCP treats its people and locks up dissenters in political jails. We doubt this crew will be thinking of any of this as it stays in the Hotel Nacional, sips mojitos with CCP officials, or begs to meet with Raul Castro.

For the first time in decades we have the CCP and the Cuban Armed Forces how we want them: really scared and vulnerable. We have them where we want them. We can and will force them to change before the Cuban people take matters into their own hands and change it for them (with sticks and stones if they have to). And, what do these Congressmen do? Step into this political mosh-pit for a voyeuristic junket, with spouses, to the Cuban gulag! Shame on them.

Early reports from our sources inside-the-beltway indicate that the focus of this trip is designed to reassure the CCP, the FAR, and others in the regime that there are people in the USG that they can work with, to ignore the Cuban-Americans in Miami or the hardliners in Washington. The Democratic Congress and the few Republicans that support them will see to it that policy changes, that the CCP gets to stay in power, and that there will be no negative repercussions for decades of hard line rule. Sad, so sad.

On a bright note, Neville Chamberlain went down in history books as an appeaser and a coward. The cooler and patriotic forces in England prevailed and she was victorious. Freedom seekers always beat out cowards. We know that should be the case here as well. It is because of people like Rep. Jeff Flake that we Republicans lost the majority in 2006; all about “me” and not about what is right, just. It is a pox that the conservative movement must work to undo.

We have the political upper hand. Let’s use it and not squander the political goodwill that we have created with millions of Cubans in Cuba that do not support that system.

AMERICANS BEWARE!

Pope Francis concocted Obama’s unconditional surrender to Cuba Stalinist regime.

Behind Obama’s unconditional surrender to the Castro’s brothers, is the plot to make the American taxpayers liable for whatever the American companies sell to Cuba. The end of the embargo is their goal. "Because of something called the Export-Import Bank there's no risk whatsoever in exporting to bankrupt, murderous and kleptocratic regimes- worse there' no incentive for the kleptocrats to clean up their act, as would happen under a genuine free-market. Also the World, financed 80% by the American taxpayers will open their vaults to be freely looted by the Castro brothers."

Castro helped to bankrupt the Soviet Union, Obama before leaving want to complete the destruction of United States.

In the commercial and political relations of the Cuban regime and the U.S. there are several priorities to be concerned with.

1st. Cuba has defaulted in all his international financial deals and Castro encourages other Third World nations to follow his example. Why are we going to sell to someone without the expectation to ever be pay. The American taxpayers should be aware that they are the targets of the scam by which the multinationals sell to Castro whatever he needs and we, the taxpayers, end footing the bill. Castro for 42 years has been with commercial ties with over 150 nations. Now when he has exhausted the patience of nations fool enough to have given him credit, Castro’s puppets in the media, the congress in cahoots with some greedy commercial circles are trying that the American taxpayers shoulder the heavy burden of subsidizing his regime to the tune of 9 billion dollars.

2nd. The American companies cannot made business legally with Cuba without violating several American laws.

A.- Trading with the Enemy Act.

B.- U.S. Commercial Embargo Against Cuba.

C.- Helms- Burton Law.

D.- Involvement in bribes in commercial dealings with another nation. :

E.- Involvement in slave labor of foreign workers in connivance with the local authorities.

3rd. Cuba is, and has been a terrorist state for 54 years, and counts with advanced chemical, biological and cyber warfare capabilities aimed against our country. The cooperation between the Cuban regime with Iraq and Iran in the chemical and biological research is well known. A few months before the September 11 attack Castro affirmed at the University of Tehran that their cooperation would put the U.S. down to its knees. Castro once tried to nuke our cities and he has the means and the will to fulfill his dream of destroying our country. If we are involved in a worldwide war against terrorism, Cuba at 90 miles from our coasts should be a prime target in that war; so, those involved in appeasement policies towards Castro and in the promotion of the lifting of the commercial embargo against Cuba are in fact aiding and abetting our worst enemy.

The British intelligence recently made public the relationship between Castro and the terrorist guerrillas of Colombia, IRA, and Chilean terrorists. The socialist administration in Chile has expressed their deepest concern to Castro. The Cuban dictator, as usual, disregarded Chile's official inquiry into the matter and denied that any of those Chilean terrorists had ever been in Cuba, although there are phone calls that were intercepted between them while in Cuba and their relatives in Chile.

We have to wonder why Obama unconditionally surrendered to the Cuban Communist thugs endangering the security of the U.S.?
