Official U.S. policy is to undermine the planned succession in Cuba from President Fidel Castro, 79 and apparently ailing, to his 74-year-old brother, Raul. It has been left unclear how to bring that about,...

In a statement after the meeting, Rice noted that the panel was formed "to explore ways the U.S. can help hasten and ease a democratic transition in Cuba."

It will not be imposed on the Cuban people, Rice's statement said, "but rather is a promise we will keep with the Cuban people."


The main goal, she said, is "to marshal our resources and expertise and encourage our democratic allies to be ready to support Cuba when the inevitable opportunity for genuine change arises."

Some interesting language to be sure! Sounds like fun.

Yes, Cubans are much better off under a totalitarian communist dictatorship without a free press or any freedom for their own interests.

Little bit o' straw there pal? Ya sure, by all means, let's just go free the Cubans!

Rice said the commission's new report will be completed by May 2006, when it will report to the president its "updated recommendations to hasten democracy and an interagency strategic plan to assist a Cuban-led transition."

Sound familiar? How exactly do we "undermine the planned succession" of Fidel to Raul? B.S. I say.
