Bush: Cuba Should Be Democratic
By BEN FELLER – 2 hours ago

KIGALI, Rwanda (AP) — President Bush on Tuesday expressed hope that Cuba will begin a transition to democracy following the end of Fidel Castro's decades-long regime.

Castro, who is ailing, resigned as Cuba's president Tuesday after nearly a half-century in power. Castro temporarily ceded his powers to his brother, Raul, on July 31, 2006, when he announced that he had undergone intestinal surgery.

"The international community should work with the Cuban people to begin to build institutions that are necessary for democracy," Bush said during a news conference with the president of Rwanda.

"Eventually, this transition ought to lead to free and fair elections — and I mean free, and I mean fair — not these kind of staged elections that the Castro brothers try to foist off as true democracy," Bush said.'

1. Good lord. Bush is to free and fair elections as Cinderella's sisters are

to fair labor practices.

2. It amazes me that this creature can speak of such things...

In all of our history, we have never faced a greater crisis to free and open elections, as bush is a testament to. Somehow this moron can come up with the talking about "democracy", the very thing he is trying to dismantle in the US...creating a Class System of privilege and power.

I am amazed that he isn't struck by lightning...:grr:

4. There's one topic he knows something about.

10. Thank you for that. I'm about to explode. nt

7. And what kind of election would that be, Mr. Bush?

One where all the ballots are counted? Or one where one candidate simply declares himself the winner, which is your preferred method of winning an election?

8. I nearly choked on my coffee this a.m. when I heard him

say that. I think he does it on purpose, just to rub it in to us that he got away with the big presidential heist...

9. GW Bush takes projection to the level of art.

Right down the "Castro brothers" line. I've never seen anyone who could pack so many hypocritical points into one sentence. Seriously.

11. To Bush:"Free and Fair" = "Elect our puppet or else"

An election ain't free and fair if they elect somebody we don't like.

[bdamomma]

12. jeez, what a freaking hypocrite he is.

it is time for him to leave???????

Democracy??? he doesn't even know what it means. Democracy, to him means bombing people to hell. What an embarrassment he is, he really insults my intelligence.

[L. Coyote]

13. Not to mention those Bush Bros. in Florida! LOL " true democracy," Bush said

ROFLMAO (and crying!)

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

14. Does this mean the Chimp will break off relations with Saudi Arabia and Pakistan?

Or does his "free and fair" only apply to Cuba and not to a monarchy and a military dictatorship? Or is the problem again in the opinion of expert Bush that we just built too many houses?

[LeftHander]

15. All I can say to that....
