    Even with Cuba's unbelievably super socialized medicine, she is being treated in the States? :)

      Really, your detractors are a bit slow to understand your comment, but most understand your ironyl Sheesh, how obtuse does one need be to not comprehend that Fidel's sister CHOSE the US over Cuba rather than live in a country where her brother is (was) dictator.

    I thought Cuba's socialized medicine was far superior to ours? Isn't that why Pelosi/Reid forced Obamacare down our throats?

    Ooooops! Their bad!

    I think McChrystal timing was just right, now he has time to setup his bid for the white house. We could use a few good men in the white house.
