Well if your goal was to rid Castro the you're right. It did not work.

Cuba needs us as opposed to us needing Cuba economically. I'd rather not see us economically beef up a communist nation 90 miles form our border.

rand paul is the most honest politician we have out their ..... i would consider voting for him as an independent.
What makes him honest? The dude is a politician who would do anything to get headlines/votes. He had no business being in Ferguson, yet he shows up.

Always easy to spot the neocons and their archaic failed policies.

You are a political moron. This could be as politically suicidal for the Democrats as the Civil Rights Act was

Cuba signals that extradition of US fugitives off the table

http://www.chron.com/news/crime/article/Cuba-signals-that-extradition-of-US-fugitives-off-5974879.php
"We've explained to the U.S. government in the past that there are some people living in Cuba to whom Cuba has legitimately granted political asylum," Vidal said, noting also that the two countries have no extradition treaty in effect.

Vidal's comments in a Monday interview were the clearest sign yet that Cuba has no intention of extraditing America's most-wanted woman, Joanne Chesimard, following a historic detente announced by last week by President Barack Obama and Raul Castro of Cuba.

Chesimard, who has changed her name to Assata Shakur, was granted asylum by Fidel Castro after she escaped from the prison where she was serving a sentence for killing a New Jersey state trooper in 1973 during a gunbattle after being stopped on the New Jersey Turnpike.

The first woman ever placed on the FBI's most-wanted terrorist list was living so openly in Havana that her number was listed in the phone book.
