WSJ/AP: U.S. Must Return Guantanamo for Normal Relations With Cuba, Raúl Castro Says
WNU Editor: Something tells me that the White House never though about the possibility that Cuba may have a list of demands that must be met before any restoration of ties .... that all that they saw was a "bold announcement" that would make President Obama appear as a statesman .... praise from their friends in the media and on the left .... and support within the international community that the U.S. was now not only listening to ..... but also sympathetic to the needs and demands of Latin America.
Well .... Raoul Castro's demands have now changed all of that .... especially his demand for economic compensation .... and I can easily see the White House going into damage control in trying to explain what this is all about. My prediction .... this Castro demand has blindsided them .... and the fact that they have said nothing so far tells me that they were caught by surprise.
