last year, cuba was on a massive anti-mosquito campaign. saw photos of soldiers going yard to yard on what they termed a mosquito crisis. the fact that it hit the news hard enough for me to hear about it (i don't follow cuban news but i do live in miami) makes me wonder if there is not more to this story than we know.
especially, since castro made the announcement that cuba and iraq could bring america to its knees. (anyone have that link handy?)
especially, since castro made the announcement that cuba and iraq could bring america to its knees. (anyone have that link handy?) It was Cuba and Iran. Castro made that speech at Teheran University while on a Mideast tour in the first part of 2001. "America is weak. I have seen it from up close. Together, Iran and Cuba will bring America to its knees," to paraphrase it.
Prior to that visit, the Cuban VP had made visits to Iran linked to the opening of a Cuban-sponsored biological research facility in Iran. Which is curious in that Iran already produces almost all the medication it needs and should need no help from an outside state, much less from Cuba.
