Reuters: Cuban Defense Minister Raul Castro warned the United States on Tuesday not to repeat its mistakes in Vietnam and Iraq by invading Cuba because its armed forces and civilian population were ready to resist.

Um, why would we want them? I mean, has someone been circulating a rumor that we’re planning to sack Cuba? Did I miss another memo? If anything, I would think that Raul would be asking us if we are going to lift our cigar sanction on his nation – not attempting to taunting us into a new offensive, by telling us that they’re ready to defend themselves… I just don’t get it.
