#1 Cuba's guests will want subsidized Islamic centers and Muslim Family Law. And Cuba's official Atheism will have to change or the tiny minority of extremists might have to plant bombs.

#2 This will lead to operations to free Gitmo terrorists, take it too the bank, chavez has made a deal, this is but a cover story to get the independent forces on the island.

#3 They're to attack the Guantanamo Bay facility? What fun for the troops! It'll be interesting to see how Pakistan and Cuba try to explain that the result is actually a victory ("Yeah, we lasted 15 minutes against them! The other team only lasted 10!"). As for the education bit -- Cuba is going to have to remedialize them back to second grade before they'll be prepared to take on a real medical school. Either way it'll be humiliating for them, and expensive for Cuba. Perhaps this latest incident affected Castro's brain.

#4 I suspect the growing integration of latin american leftists with jihadis is one reason we've been slowly emptying Gitmo.

A couple months back I had a chance to chat with the guy who was US military attache in Venezuela when the coup almost deposed Chavez a couple years ago. He had some stories to tell - most of which he didn't, but the bits that did come out were disturbing.

#5 Cuba's guests will want subsidized Islamic centers and Muslim Family Law. And Cuba's official Atheism will have to change or the tiny minority of extremists might have to plant bombs.

I posted an article a few months ago that Cuba had a small but increasingly confident Iranian-backed Shia contingent that was strong enough to begin agitating publically for their own mosque. They stated they had about seventy members, which I estimated was about right for an effective terror cell.

#6 Seafarious:

If reports are accurate, Iran will have $50 billion more petro-dollars to play with this year. Money means persuasion; missiles means coercion. For reasons that are too numerous to count, the Ayatollahs have to go.

#7 so Cuba ships Docs to Venezuela and imports Paks?

#8 "Iran will have $50 billion more petro-dollars to play with this year. Money means persuasion; missiles means coercion . . . "

The Iranian oil money is no doubt "helping" the latin-leftist/jihadi link. How I wish this was all a bad dream.

#9 Some of that $50 billion will have to go to resupplying Hizb'allah, and training replacements for their casualties. Not to mention that $12,000/household that Hizb'allah committed them to in South Lebanon and Beirut.

#10 Pak docs run the gamut from awful to pretty good. Pakistan has a few good medical schools (e.g., Aga Khan Univ., and 'good' defined on a global scale). A fair proportion of the better ones learn English and come to the US/UK to obtain further training, and some of them decide to stay on with the infidels. Importing Pak docs to Cuba isn't that much of a stretch -- the classes very likely will be in English, and again, some of the Paks are good.

#11 #9 tw: "Not to mention that $12,000/household that Hizb'allah committed them to in South Lebanon and Beirut."

That doesn't need to come from Iran, tw - though the Hezzie printing presses probably did.

#12 Muzzies like their women wrapped in black because muzzie boys have no self control (and never take personal responsibility for their behavior). The Pakis will have a hard time dealing with the hot women to be found throughout Cuba.
