> **[BBC NEWS | Americas | Cuba oil prospects cloud US horizon](http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/5321594.stm)** > > The discovery of potential oil reserves off Cuba raises questions over the future of the US trade embargo. "The discovery of potential deep-water oil and gas reserves off Cuba’s northern coast has caught the eye of the world’s energy-hungry nations. " Well, that’s Castro screwed then. Any bets on how long till Cuba’s added to the axis of evil? I’m guessing at vague accusations about their continued backing of terrorism, in particular the state supported DNA Therapy clinics, frequently used by terrorists to change their appearance\*. Ah well, at least this latest venue for TWAT is on the USA’s doorstep. If nothing else, it should mean the poor bastard soliders to be stationed there get regular leave. - cite - J. Bond, “War diamonds and their use in funding Korean terrorists”, Broccoli Press, 2002. ---

There probably are more terrists per capita in Cuba (Gitmo) than anyplace else in the world. Cuz Bushco said so. He decided. ---

[QUOTE=if6was9] There probably are more terrists per capita in Cuba (Gitmo) than anyplace else in the world. Cuz Bushco said so. He decided. [/QUOTE] Sir, that is genius! Absolute genius! All bush has to do is reclassify gitmo from prison to terrorist training camp. Then he can bomb the shit out of the place, clearing up the messy problem of what he’s going to do with all the detainees, and giving some nice footage of a succesful strike against the terrorists. Then he can cite the location of this training camp on the isle of Cuba as further evidence of their support for terror. Have you considered a career in politics? ---

Well, it’s clear that Castro has a relationship with the terrorists. Castro knows full well that they are there, yet he has not done one damn thing about it. ---

CHUCKFACT: In most alternate realities, chuck kicked those planes away from the WTC with round house kicks. The only reason he didn’t do it in our alternate is so America could see what happened if he lifted the veil of his protection. ---

At least we’d get some nice tropical beachfront property out of the deal this time around - and close enough to home for a quick vacation! ---
