Exile plan for liberty show near Havana worries U.S., Cuba

The U.S. State Department has warned Havana and South Florida exiles to keep their cool during a fireworks show 12 miles off the Cuban coast.

The U.S. State Department has urged the Cuban government and exiles in South Florida to act with “restraint” when a flotilla of exile boats stages a fireworks show 12.5 miles off the coast of Havana.

The “Lights of Liberty” show scheduled for Friday is being organized by the Miami-based Democracy Movement, which has staged a dozen similar outings since 1995, including a couple that ended in confrontations.

State Department officials met privately with Democracy Movement leader Ramon Saúl Sánchez last month and “urged him to be responsible,” said one department official who requested anonymity to speak about the issue.

The State Department also urged the Cuban government, which had previously asked Washington about the flotilla’s plans, “to act with restraint and let our people know of any problems,” the official added.

1. These fascists, greedbags, U.S. federal gov't welfare 'queens,' CIA agents &

assorted mafioso have a lot of nerve calling themselves a "Democracy Movement."

2. I have no problem with their fireworks display though

Raul is going to get another fireworks show. at least he'll be able to see this one.

3. What a lame provocation

that will surely make the exiles look even more ridiculous to the Cuban Americans who want nothing more than an opening to Cuba.

4. Ramon Saul Sanchez has spent his adult years making an ass of himself,

trying to advance the demands of the original "exiles" who want NOTHING more than to overthrow the revolution, and re-seize the government, and reinstate the racist, corrupt way of living for the Spanish-descended Cubans who created the conditions which triggered not one but two revolutions.

You may remember this tool from the videos of retrieval of Elian by the US government after his drunken uncle Lazaro refused to surrender the child after the court ruled against him. Ramon Saul Sanchez claimed the agents beat and mashed him into a pile of goo, and insisted he had to have his gigantic head heavily bandaged, so much that he looked like a giant Q-Tip. He made sure the photographers got a photo of him lying on the ground with his head in a woman's lap. Ha ha ha. What a cheap dirt bag.

Why doesn't he get a date the normal way?

When ever there's a camera around people have to beat Ramon Saul Sanchez away with a ball bat. He LIVES for attention.



He looks more drunk than injured.



All dressed in white for his fast, which he surrendered, claiming his terms had been met. Ha ha ha.

5. Two More Things To Consider About The Offshore Fireworks Display

Two more things to consider about the off-shore fireworks display.

(1) Just how experienced with fireworks are the emigre technicians and just how safe are their launching platforms going to be? Fireworks can be dangerous, especially on small boats. That picture showing the small boat and the guys with scuba gear hanging around makes me nervous, and I don't even pretend I have any great faculty with fire prevention.

(2) Just how close are the nearest search and rescue teams? If something goes seriously wrong with the fireworks display, I suspect that the nearest search and rescue teams are on Cuban soil. Now wouldn't it be extremely embarrassing for the emigres if the established Cuban authorities have to rescue them?
