Political Quotes

“south Florida was shocked earlier this week when a video was released showing top United States military officials exchanging gifts and pleasantries at the Guantanamo Naval Base with Cuban general and known Cuban assassin, General Perez-Perez. At one point the chief of the U.S. Atlantic Command refers to the Cuban thug as ``My General,'' while another tells Castro's communist partner that a plaque he received as a gift from him would be put in a place of honor. I propose that if we must exchange gifts with Castro officials, let us give them an indictment for their criminal acts and a key to free jailed political dissidents. Let us give them a reproduction of the Statute of Liberty and a ballot, symbols of freedom and democracy. This repugnant display of camaraderie of a top official of a totalitarian military regime which recently murdered in cold blood American citizens and which continues to harm the United States at every opportunity, is not only a disgusting sight to behold, but an insult to the thousands of men and women of our military who risk their lives every day to defend the principles of freedom and democracy we proudly enjoy in this Nation. Either Fidel Castro is our enemy or he is not. Let us have these officials explain these actions to us.”
