This is What Happens the DAY AFTER
Obama Removes Cuba From SSOT
List
I’m sure you’ve read that the Obama Administration has decided to remove the island nation
of Cuba from the State Sponsors of Terror list.
You’ve probably seen the photo of the most powerful man in the world kowtowing and
shaking hands with communist dictator Raul Castro, as well.
So is it any surprise that a Cuban sponsored terror group does this the day after America
announced the ludicrous deal?
From PJMedia:
But just hours later, a terror group long fostered by Cuba — even today, the
Castro brothers are harboring several wanted members of the group — murdered
10 Colombian soldiers and wounded 17 others in a terror attack on a military
base.The attack occurred in a small town in Cauca province, governor Temistocles Ortega told Blu radio, adding that four of the injured soldiers are in serious condition.The Cauca region has been a stronghold for the rebel fighters, who are in peace talks with the Bogota government to end more than a half-century of hostilities.The FARC in December declared a unilateral ceasefire, which it has said was meant to advance the negotiations, which have been under way since November 2012.The Colombian government last month temporarily halted air raids against the Marxist rebels.The five-decade-long conflict has killed more than 200,000 people and uprooted more than five million.
Here’s PJMedia’s Henry Gomez articulating how “Cuba has not changed its policy of fueling and defending leftist terror whatsoever since they were initially placed on the list…”
The Castro brothers continue to harbor international terrorists from Spain’s Basque separatist group ETA and Colombia’s Marxist rebels FARC, as well as American domestic terrorists from groups like the Black Liberation Army.Nothing has really changed on this front. It’s estimated that 70 U.S. fugitives are being harbored by Cuba, including Joanne Chesimard (AKA “Assata Shakur”), a convicted cop killer.Apologists for the Castro regime try to argue that Cuba does not meet the criteria of state sponsor of terrorism via technicalities. They insist that the Basque terrorists in Cuba are a matter for Spain to resolve bilaterally with Cuba, and that the FARC terrorists don’t count because Cuba is hosting peace talks between FARC and the Colombian government, and that Chesimard doesn’t qualify as a terrorist because she didn’t kill a civilian, conflating a police officer with a member of uniformed armed forces in a declared war.
Gomez isn’t wrong.
Reports in 2012 suggested that the Cuban government was trying to distance itself from Basque Fatherland and Liberty (ETA) members living on the island by employing tactics such as not providing services including travel documents to some of them. The Government of Cuba continued to provide safe haven to approximately two dozen ETA members.In past years, some members of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) were allowed safe haven in Cuba and safe passage through Cuba. In November, the Government of Cuba began hosting peace talks between the FARC and Government of Colombia.The Cuban government continued to harbor fugitives wanted in the United States. The Cuban government also provided support such as housing, food ration books, and medical care for these individuals.
