Track-A-’Crat: The Roll Call of Democratic Delinquency

Because now we’re being outwitted by even Cuba.

Cuba!

Kendall Myers, 72, (formerly a senior official at the State Department’s Bureau of Intelligence and Research) and his wife Gwendolyn Steingraber Myers, 71, have been charged with conspiracy to act as illegal agents of the Cuban government and with communicating classified information to Cuba.

They were, allegedly, recruited in 1979.

1979!

Let us hope that the US intelligence agencies knew all about this and were using the couple in some elaborate game of counter-espionage against Cuba.

But I doubt it.

China is challenging the US Navy in the South China Sea.  Latent Russian hostility is on the rise, as they achieve feats such as ousting the US from its only Central Asian air base in Kyrgyzstan.  Iran is as belligerent as ever and closer to obtaining nuclear weapons than ever.  North Korea, behaving as usual despite Kim Jong-il’s incapacity, is conducting nuclear tests without a care in the world.  Pakistan is nowhere nearer being the theoretical “stable democracy” that some analysts think not only possible but also a solution to the many problems posed by the situation there.

And now, the straw that broke the camel’s back, comes Cuba.

I sure do feel safer today that at any other time during the previous eight years knowing that Obama will rely on the United Nations to resolve (exacerbate) these tensions.

[Talk about taking the rough with the smooth.  The previous post had great news out of the UK, then I follow up with this.  Rejoice or cry?]

From one comrade to another.

Isn’t it about time that Fidel Castro just curled up and died?

Hopefully after experiencing excruciating and prolonged pain, that is.

But before that happens, members of the Congressional Black Caucus met with the old bast*rd yesterday, leading Castro to ask, “How can we help President Obama?”

As I recall, America’s well-being wasn’t quite so high on the list when he was urging Khrushchev to let him launch nuclear missiles at the height of the 1962 crisis.

Ah well, best let bygones be bygones, I guess.  What’s the worst that could happen?
