#3 If you use the backward planning process, he'll need 90 to 120 days to clear U.S. Military personnel and equipment out of GITMO. If you factor in a formal hand-over ceremony, presidential advance team, etc, another week or two is required.

The Democratic convention will take place on one of three dates; July 18, July 25 and August 22. I'd say he'll need to have all of the remaining prisoners repatriated and out of the way NLT June of 2016. This will provide maximum political crowing and 'Cuban normalization' fanfare, avenue of flags, etc, at the convention.

#5 Grunter, I wouldn't be surprised. What better way to apologize to Castro for 53 years of embargo?
