[Marxism] U.S. Warns Of Plans To "Liberate" Cuba (Democracy Now)

Has anyone else noticed this kind of overt saber-rattling about Cuba lately
from the State Department? I haven't heard this kind of talk from them since
the time of the Iraq invasion.

Democracy Now (12/7/04):
U.S. Warns Of Plans To "Liberate" Cuba
The State Department's top official in Latin America has announced that
President Bush is committed to the "liberation of Cuba" during the next four
years. Roger Noriega said last week Washington already has a blueprint of
plans for a post-Castro Cuba to prevent Castro's supporters from retaining
control of the country after his death. Noriega said Washington wants to
"ensure that vestiges of the regime don't hold on." He added "The transition
essentially is under way today." Ricardo Alarcon, the speaker of Cuba's
Parliament, warned the U.S. would fail in any such efforts. Alarcon said,
"If they try it, they have to attack Cuba, then use military occupation and
then attempt a regime change. They can attempt it, they can try, but they
will be handed a defeat they will never forget." In other news from Cuba,
the government released journalist Jorge Olivera from jail Monday. He is the
seventh dissident freed in the past week.
