Cuba will get gitmo back

Cuba demands the US hand back the Guantanamo Bay military base.
This subject was discussed a few weeks back and most seemed to think it couldn't happen.

Well, we now have the Cuban flag flying in Washington, diplomatic relations restored and embassies reopened.

Does anyone think for one second that obama will not order all our people from the base and let the Cubans march right in.

It's going to happen folks, bet on it.

    Yes, It probably will happen. Our clown-in-chief will probably do it as his last official act.

    Of course it will and there will also be another large sum of money going into one of Obama's Swiss bank accounts for the deal. Just like he gets every time he gives away something of ours that does not belong to him. Why else would he do it? I would bet everything I have that it would be absolutely unbelievable at how much of the bailout money that Obama handed out to corporations that went into several of those bank accounts of his.

    The one I'd really be interested in knowing is how much money is he getting from the world bank for their dealings with him in manipulating the value of the US dollar?

    Cuba NEVER HAD IT. We got it from the Spanish. That would like giving Hawaii to Sweden.

    As strange as it may seem, I don't think it's about the money as much as it is his vehement hate for this country and his desire to destroy everything it stands for.

    You or someone mentioned that before unless I'm mistaken. Thing is, gitmo is part of Cuba and in 1903 the U.S. signed a lease agreement with Cuba for gitmo and renewed that lease in 1934.

    The treaty stipulates that Republic of Cuba lease to the United States specific lands in Cuba, most notably the land that surrounds Guant?namo Bay, for the purpose of coaling and naval stations, for as long as necessary. The lease stipulates that the United States "shall exercise complete jurisdiction and control", while recognizing "the continuance of the ultimate sovereignty of the Republic of Cuba.

    Anything else is semantics because Spain didn't have jack chit to say about it.

    Not strange at all - that is exactly his intent. He is perpitrating his personal dislike of america into action. He is a major racist against what he considers white america and this is his way of seeking revenge.

    There is no way he will give it away. He will make a deal like he usually does with our enemies and trade it for something. Like a worn out 57 Pontiac sedan.

    Virtually every decision he makes is guided by the above principle. If he can find a way to do it, it will be done. Our only hope would be if someone in the Pentagon impedes it or the Commander of Gitmo refuses to follow that order and delays it long enough that Obama leaves office with it unresolved. We will start hearing complaints about a draw down of forces at Gitmo.
