The art of political ping-pong
A few minutes ago, the Chicago Tribune correspondent Gary Marx reported that Mr. cagasstro backpedaled -again. Now he wants the American assistance and help in dealing with the disaster that is his sole responsibility, since he owns the sole pair of hands that control everything in Cuba. What he is saying now is that "he didn't ask for help", but what the hell, "throw some greenbacks at me, while you're at it".
I hope that this time around we go the whole nine yards and tell him that we are the ones who call the shots, since he is incapable of helping his own people, we are taking over the humanitarian mission of preserving Cuban lives and helping restore sanitary conditions in Havana and other parts of Cuba. I hope this old trickster understand that the Army Corps of Engineers will be present, that unarmed American soldiers are going to be conducting missions of relief and that the Cuban population will interact with them by force.
In the Cuban press there are reports that the Cuban Armed Forces Corps of Engineers started cleaning the debris and pumping water out of the traffic tunnels in Havana (what about the semi-secret tunnels all over the place?) and curiously the "acceptance" of the help comes right after it's said that there's no way that the Cuban Armed Forces can undertake the titanic task of clearing the debris, getting rid of the water, and provide the population with sanitary conditions and preventive medical care.
Apparently, some people in the White House and the State Department got the jest of the modus operandi of kagasstro and they are willing to play some hard ball will him. Needless to say, kagasstro would prefer the political ping-pong at which he is so accomplished. Wondrously, there are many people in power in American politics who apparently are incapable of "reading" a guy who has been a fierce enemy of the States for more than half a century, if one goes for what's on the record. Don't let the prick call the shots. Show him who's boss and why, make him publicly accept the help, and then descend on Cuba with the biggest humanitarian relief effort of history. Learn from the mistakes in New Orleans for God's sake, and don't repeat them in Cuba, this is the chance to kick the tyrant in the pants.
This is not somebody plucking petals from a daisy in a love me, love me not fashion -actually, that's more the style of raul caligula cagastro, but instead it's a treacherous game of political pingpong and blackmail at which kagasstro is a master. To defeat them in his own turf all that's needed is a humanitarian effort that can erase his propagandistic tenets of how horrible Americans are. That's not difficult. Have anyone in the Pentagon thought of Hershey bars? They provide great photo ops and sweeten people. A few Humvees driving up and down Malecon will not hurt the chances of the Cuban people to get rid of this monster forever. Remember, this is an all out psych-ops and propaganda war. We've got a great hand of cards. Let's play.
